Using visual spectrographic examination of vowel nasalization to diagnose the syllabic affiliation of phonologically ambisyllabic nasal consonants (e.g., gamma), Durvasula and Huang [(2017). Lang. Sci. 62, 17-36] argued that anticipatory vowel nasalization in these words patterns with word-medial codas. Using nasometry, the current study finds that anticipatory nasalization before monomorphemic and multimorphemic (scammer) ambisyllabic nasals differ from word-medial coda (gamble) and word-final nasals (scam), but not from other intervocalic nasals. Additionally, vowel nasalization is sensitive to the manner of the preceding phoneme. These findings demonstrate that quantifying anticipatory nasalization using nasometry differs from visual spectrographic criteria.
利用元音鼻化的可见光谱检查来诊断音韵上的双音节鼻音（例如，γ）的音节归属，杜尔瓦苏拉和黄（2017 年）认为，这些词中的前元音鼻化与词中韵尾模式一致。本研究使用鼻音计发现，单音节和多音节（骗子）双音节鼻音之前的前导鼻音与词中韵尾（赌博）和词末鼻音（骗局）不同，但与其他元音中的鼻音不同。此外，元音鼻化对前一个音素的方式敏感。这些发现表明，使用鼻音计量化前导鼻音与视觉光谱标准不同。
