It is insufficiently realized in the teaching of the phonetics of foreign languages that studying the acoustics of the vowel systems per se, as was done in section 2, does not reveal the full organization of a vowel system, and – more importantly – does not reveal the (often incorrect) perceptual representation of the vowel system of the target language. What is needed to appreciate the representation of the vowel system in the mind of the learner (and of the native speaker) is a perceptual mapping. Using perceptual techniques allows the researcher to establish so‐called trading relationships between the parameters that define the individual listener’s vowel space.

In the present study we used a universal reference set of synthesized vowel tokens in a C_C context that can be used to map out the (oral) monophthongs of any language (see Van Heuven et al., 2020 for details and background). The vowel space is defined by three parameters, i.e., vowel height (F1), vowel backness/rounding (F2) and length (vowel duration). In the reference set we devised, the vowels occur between an initial consonant /m/ and a final consonant /f/. These are labial consonants, which are easy to synthesize and which are pronounced the same in any language. Using these materials, a vowel identification experiment was conducted to answer the following question:

What is the mental conception monolingual Persian and bilingual Azerbaijani/Persian learners of English have of the American English vowel system in terms of the vowel quality (color) and vowel duration compared with native speakers of American English?
