Abstract
⺠Many analyses presuppose that nasal and oral vowels have the same oral properties. ⺠F1-modulation can be attributed to both nasalization and tongue height. ⺠We find that the tongue is higher in American English /i/ when preceded by a nasal. ⺠Speakers may be compensating for F1-modulation associated with nasality. ⺠Speakers may be resisting phonological vowel nasalization by raising the tongue.
