This dissertation investigates vowel reduction in spoken German from an experimental phonetics perspective. It focuses on how different degrees of vowel reduction are perceived and characterized through acoustic features. Perception experiments and acoustic analyses are used to examine reduction levels in tense and lax vowels. The study also explores the relationships between vowel quality, stress, and word class, as well as methods for automatically classifying vowel reduction levels. Its central aim is to develop a differentiated framework for describing the perception and acoustic properties of reduced vowels.
