CV, V1CV2- and V1#CV2-sequences of reading material of six speakers of Standard Austrian German have been analysed. V1 was a pre-palatal, constricted vowel /i/ in unstressed position, C an alveolar consonant, and V2 either a pre-palatal, constricted vowel /i/ or a back, rounded vowel /u, o/ in a stressed position. F1, F2, F3, and VOT measurements were performed. Lip protrusion starts at consonant release and may affect the transconsonantal vowel, as long as V1 and C are not separated by a word boundary.
