Perception of illusory vowels by Persian speakers in several consonant clusters of French loanwords by Saghar Javidpour, Aliyeh Kord Zafaranlu kambuziya, Mandana Nourbakhsh

“…Since this is below the conventional threshold of 0.05, it can be inferred that there is a statistically significant difference in the frequency of heard vowels among initial, medial, and final consonant clusters. Considering that the mean frequency of perceived vowels in the initial cluster is higher, it can be concluded that the highest frequency of perceived vowels is in the initial consonant cluster, followed by the medial cluster. …”
