This dissertation presents three phonetic studies of vowels in Enenlhet, the first of their kind for the language. These studies draw on the naturalistic monologues in the Enenlhet Documentation corpus. The studies aim to acoustically characterize features of Enenlhet's cross-linguistically unusual vowel inventory, which contains only three phonemic vowel qualities /a, e, o/. These studies contribute to the description of Enenlhet and to the growing body of phonetic research on Enlhet-Enenlhet languages more generally, opening the door to phonetic comparison, perception studies, and historical study of the language family. Each of these studies focuses on a specific feature of the Enenlhet vowel inventory: vowel quality (Chapter 2), vowel duration (Chapter 3), and voice quality (Chapter 4). Chapter 2 finds greater spread in the F2 dimension compared to the F1 dimension. The F1 dimension in Enenlhet does not use formant values associated with phonemic high vowels in other languages. Chapter 3 finds small changes in duration associated with immediately pre-pausal syllables, following voiced consonants, and open syllables. It does not find evidence for fixed stress or phonemic vowel length. Chapter 4 finds that vowels with adjacent glottal stops have a lower HNR, intensity, and H1-H2 and higher F0 than vowels adjacent to other segments. This study also finds acoustic evidence of glottalization in word-initial, onsetless syllables and in immediately pre-pausal syllables. In addition to providing a detailed phonetic exploration of these features, these studies contribute to the field of phonetics and phonology more broadly. Together, they paint a picture of a phonology that does not prioritize distinctiveness or salience of vowels. Such a system is cross-linguistically atypical, raising questions for speech perception research. In addition to questions related to speech perception, these studies showcase a broad range of variability, highlighting the importance of corpus studies for phonetic research. I argue that both experimental studies and corpus work are critical for robust phonetic descriptions.
