This study analyzes production and perception of African English (AfrE) vowels by university students in Ghana, Kenya and Zimbabwe. Acoustic and perception tests are carried out and subsequently correlated in order to determine the characteristic of vowel systems in each sample. In order to determine the acoustic qualities of vowels, data was initially elicited from language groups with relatively homogeneous social and linguistic background. F1 and F2 scores of onset (steady state) vowels contained in eleven English monosyllabic were calculated and subsequently plotted using computer software; Signalyze (version 3.12) and Plotnik (version04) respectively. To account for vowel perception, data was elicited from AfrE listeners using the minimal pair and identification test methods.

Acoustic and perception tests are carried out and subsequently correlated in order to determine the characteristic of vowel systems in each sample.

520 $a Both acoustic and perception results challenge previously held assumption regarding vowel variance in west, east and southern Africa. Ghanaian respondents in this study did not back RP central vowels [3] and [ &and; ] to [a], a position so strongly held in earlier studies. Moreover, vowel system identity among 'Bantu English' speakers in eastern and southern Africa is not corroborated by Kenyan and Zimbabwean respondents in this study. Gender distinction within and across varieties is also identified.
