Abstract:

Virtually all undergraduate communication sciences and disorders programs require a course that covers acoustic phonetics. Students typically have a separate phonetics (transcription) course prior to taking the acoustic phonetics course. This paper describes a way to structure an acoustic phonetics course into two halves: a first half that focuses on the source, including basic acoustics (simple harmonic motion, harmonics), vocal fold vibration, modes of phonation, and intonation, and a second half that focuses on the filter, including resonance and tube models, vowel formants, and consonant acoustics. Thus, basic acoustic properties are interwoven with specific examples of speech-related acoustics. In addition, two projects that illustrate concepts from the two halves of the course (one on fundamental frequency and the other on vowel formants) are presented.

Abstract:

AbstarctExamination of phonetic data can show when phonologization has or has not occurred. Under the general Economy assumption of generative linguistics, this is important for theoretical phonology, since only cases where it has occurred require a phonological account. A modular view of phonetics and phonology is assumed, as it is clearly consistent with generative theory. A procedure for acoustic phonetic testing for phonologization is illustrated using data from one speaker of Palestinian Arabic and one speaker of Stát'imcets Salish. The testing can confirm phonological accounts or cause their revision. How it can cause revision is illustrated with the Stát'imcets data: the speaker's retraction harmony affects a rightward vowel, which is unexpected from standard descriptions of the harmony in that language. The testing can also identify cases of phonetics-within-language. This is illustrated with the St'at'imcets speaker's schwa lowering.

Abstract:

The article is devoted to the study of vibrant sounds / vibrants. Modern linguistics is characterized by the desire to study the sound functional units of oral speech, which ensure the adequacy of perception of content and the effectiveness of communication. Figuring out the nature of vibrant sounds (vibrants) belongs to the most debatable issues of general phonetics. They have always attracted the attention of phonetists and have become the subject of numerous studies. The main characteristic of the vibrants is the presence of one or more instant interruptions during the release of air. For the formation of vibrant sounds are crucial movementsof the language muscle. The system of vibrants of each language is characterized by a set of specific articulatory and acoustic features. Language tradition defines one or another phonetic characteristic of the phoneme, which is part of the language. The question of the nature of vibrant sounds can be solved only with a detailed comprehensive study of their physiological, acoustic and spectral characteristics using modern possibilities of experimental phonetics. The study of the physiological and acoustic properties of such sounds is necessary to obtain their correct phonological interpretation.

Abstract:

The short answer to the question in the title is: not exactly, no. This paper examines the confusion between phonetics on the one hand and pronunciation on the other. It looks at what phonetics actually is (its acoustic, articulatory and auditory components), and attempts to dispel the popular myth that studying or teaching ‘(English) phonetics’ and studying or teaching ‘(English) pronunciation’ are one and the same thing – in fact, the former is general phonetics, the latter applied phonetics. Reviewing 100 years of thoughts about English pronunciation teaching (from Daniel Jones to Geoff Lindsey) it examines the contribution phonetics is considered to make in this field, looking at the roles of both phonetic theory and ear-training in pronunciation acquisition from teachers’ and learners’ perspectives. It concludes by summarizing what phonetics today can offer the language learner.

Abstract:

The article speculates upon the problem of phonetic re-imprint forming through the acoustic mirroring technology application. The aim is to represent and analyse the results of the empirical study held as part of our scientific research and to consider the effectiveness of the acoustic mirroring technology application. Methodology. The study was carried out on the basis of theoretical and practical analysis within the framework of activity and system approaches. Results. The authors highlight the effectiveness of imitation and mirroring mechanisms. Theoretical basis of re-imprint pattern forming mechanism as well as the empirical study results are given in the research paper. Student t-criterion for linked samples was applied to calculate the acoustic mirroring technology effectiveness. Taking into account the research data we can say that the acoustic mirroring technology is more effective for post-sensitive period phonetics mastering compared with standard methods. Conclusion. The acoustic mirroring technology application effectiveness for re-imprint forming is proved and fortified through the empirical research and analysis. We do not deny the importance of standard phonetics mastering methods but we consider it to be less effective for the phonetic re-imprint forming then the acoustic mirroring technology.

Abstract:

Abstract phonological patterns and detailed phonetic patterns can combine to produce unusual acoustic results, but criteria for what aspects of a pattern are phonetic and what aspects are phonological are often disputed. Early literature on Romanian makes mention of nasal devoicing in word-final clusters (e.g. in /basm/ ‘fairy-tale’). Using acoustic, aerodynamic and ultrasound data, the current work investigates how syllable structure, prosodic boundaries, phonetic paradigm uniformity and assimilation influence Romanian nasal devoicing. It provides instrumental phonetic documentation of devoiced nasals, a phenomenon that has not been widely studied experimentally, in a phonetically underdocumented language. We argue that sound patterns should not be separated into phonetics and phonology as two distinct systems, but neither should they all be grouped together as a single, undifferentiated system. Instead, we argue for viewing the distinction between phonetics and phonology as a largely continuous multidimensional space, within which sound patterns, including Romanian nasal devoicing, fall.

Abstract:

Abstract Zabrocki understood structural phonetics as a branch of phonetics concerned with analyzing acodal (substantial) systems (cf. Bańczerowski 1980: 13). In this theory, each sound has a specific acoustic and articulatory substance. Zabrocki constructed linear substantial sound structures based on measuring the amount of substance implied in the articulation. Diachronic structural phonetics, in turn, is the application of synchronically defined phonetic and acoustic relations to the study of language change. This paper investigates a synchronic scenario for velar POA assimilation in Latinate prefixation in English and tests the findings against the tenets of Zabrocki’s theory. The results show that Zabrocki’s structural phonetics perfectly accounts for the empirical findings. The corpus of investigation is comprised of realizations of all RP English Latinate prefixes ending with /n/, collected from various pronunciation dictionaries (online and paper). As a collateral corpus, recordings of two native speakers of English were made in which they produced some of the corpus material, as well as nonce words and unusual lexemes not listed in pronunciation dictionaries

Abstract:

A number of consonant shifts in the history of Athabaskan languages are considered. The goal is to better explain examples of ‘auditorily based substitution’ by invoking ‘phonetic features’ as is required by the sound change theory of Blevins (2004). We argue that the shifts are better understood as instances of Blevins’s change process involving the phonetic features ⟦grave⟧ and ⟦flat⟧. These features are defined acoustically in accord with recent phonetic studies of obstruents. It is crucial that these and other phonetic features are scalar-valued, and thus are part of a phonetics-phonology interface component which is separate from the distinctive phonological feature system.

Abstract:

Acoustic phonetics deals with the physical aspects of speech sounds associated with the production and perception of speech. Acoustic measurement techniques can be used by speech-language pathologists to assess and treat a variety of speech disorders. In this article, we will review the source-filter theory of speech production, acoustic theory of vowels, and acoustic properties of consonants. We will examine how visual displays of acoustic information in the form of waveforms, amplitude spectra, and spectrograms can be used to analyze aspects of speech that might be difficult to hear and serve to provide biofeedback to clients to improve their speech production.

Abstract:

Experimental phonetics is one of the branches of general phonetics and this discipline studies phonetics using experimental approach. Research in experimental phonetics is conducted to enhance the physical features of language sound and identifying any phonetical similarities or differences between two languages. Previous studies have shown that common issues in speech are related to language transfer and interference in second language pronunciation. This error can be referred to a theory by Lado (1957) that states that foreign sounding phonemes can create difficulties among speakers influenced by their mother tongues. Meanwhile, it was found that for phonemes sounding similar to those in Bahasa Melayu (Malay), speakers do not exhibit any difficulty in articulating the sounds. This study aims to analyze the acoustic features of plosive sounds for the Malay and Arabic languages, targeted to highlight any similar or different sound between Malay and Arabic via experimental phonetics approach. Speech analyses on subjects were completed entirely at the UKM phonetics lab of the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities. The part selected as token of the studies was analyzed using the PRAAT software. Spectrographic analysis specific for the first syllable is involved with measuring Voice Onset Time. This study has highlighted several important matters pertaining to the acoustics features of the Malay and Arabic languages. The findings of this study have highlighted the Long Lag and pharyngealization phenomena in the Arabic language speech, which was found to be different as compared to the Malay language that generally features Short Voicing Lag and Voicing lead. The findings have confirmed that there is an influence of L1 in L2 speeches.

Abstract:

One of the most fundamental constructs of phonological theory past and present is ‘neutralization’, i.e. the merger of a contrast in certain contexts. It is as basic as such other constructs as ‘contrast’, ‘distinctive feature’, and ‘segment’. While there exists a substantial body of literature on the phonetics of various phonological constructs (e.g. acoustic correlates for features, acoustic invariance, descriptive phonetics of particular languages, instrumental measurement techniques and segmentation criteria), the phonetics of neutralization has largely been assumed on the basis of casual impressionistic phonetics. The assumption is that forms which are distinguishable phonetically and phonologically in certain contexts and/or levels of representation (e.g. intervocalic voiced and voiceless obstruents in German) are under certain other well-defined circumstances totally indistinguishable at the level of phonetics (e.g. only voiceless obstruents occur word-finally in German).

Abstract:

Students in acoustic phonetics and speech science classes often do not have much technical background; an intuitive means to teach acoustic phenomena to them would, thus, be useful. Regarding speech production, physical demonstrations using vocal-tract models have been shown to be an intuitive way to teach acoustic phenomena. In particular, a series of models for different purposes has been developed by Arai over the last 20+ years, including lung models, sound sources, and vocal-tract models, e.g., see Arai [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 131(3), 2444–2454 (2012)]. Different combinations of these models are helpful for teaching a variety of related topics in the classroom. However, there are still barriers to understanding certain concepts. This study examined ways of minimizing technical explanations and mathematical formulations and maximizing intuitive understanding of seven topics. Its findings were incorporated into an education program that was used in an actual lecture conducted online. A comparison of scores of questionnaires filled out by the audience before and after the lecture showed the program's effectiveness, especially in relating how a set of harmonic waves excites a multiple-resonance system and how the vowel /a/ is produced.

Abstract:

A fundamentally important practice in phonetics is the analysis of continuous speech into a sequence of discrete segments. There has been considerable debate about the theoretical validity of this practice within classical auditory/kinaesthetic phonetics and in phonology as well as in the context of the acoustic analysis of speech; in recent years the issue has become more widely important as research work in automatic speech processing has resulted in computer algorithms for segmenting speech and assigning phonetic labels to the segments. Work on the automatic segmentation and labeling of speech sounds has been carried on in our department since 1980. This paper begins by examining the theoretical issues involved in segmentation and labeling, then describes our own work.

Abstract:

Abstract Previous studies disagree as to whether heritage bilinguals demonstrate loss of knowledge of Spanish grammatical gender. As phonetic variability is known to affect the acquisition of certain grammatical markers, we examine whether bilinguals’ gender difficulties relate to bilingual contact-induced phonetic variability, namely, reduction in the inventory of word-final unstressed vowels. We analyzed narratives from children in the United States (n = 49, ages 4–12). All NP s (n = 1415) were analyzed for structure, noun class, and morphology. Word-final vowels were sub-selected for acoustic analyses. Morpho-syntactically, group results show high accuracy with gender (95%), but with wide individual variation (44%–100%). Speakers also show individual variability and substantive numbers of vowel misclassifications (6%–33%) with higher variability for /a/ and /o/. We found bilingual effects in both domains but no association between phonetics and gender accuracy. These findings have implications for the relationship between phonetics and grammar, and for the morphosyntax of Spanish gender.

Abstract:

Abstract This review visualizes the knowledge domain of motor speech disorders (MSDs) in linguistics between 2000 and 2019 by means of scientometric methods. With topic searches, the study collected 869 bibliographic records and 20, 411 references from Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) of Thomson Reuter. The clustered and visualized document co-citation network of the MSDs knowledge domain in CiteSpace identifies 15 research foci in different periods, including apraxia of speech, acoustics, children, technology, aphemia, childhood apraxia of speech, primary progressive aphasia, speech motor delay, Parkinson’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, rhythm, foreign accent syndrome, phonation, phonological awareness, dose and speech perception. Revolving around linguistics, these foci could be divided into studies on speech characteristics of MSDs in terms of phonology and phonetics, remedies for MSDs in terms of neurolinguistics and acoustic phonetics, dysarthria secondary to neurological diseases based on pathological linguistics, subtypes of apraxia of speech, methods of MSDs based on auditory phonetics and a newly recognized subtype of MSDs. Meanwhile, the emerging trends of MSDs in linguistics are detected by the analysis of reference citation bursts, suggesting growing research in remedies for MSDs with the focus on assessments and effectiveness of treatments, speech characteristics and indexes of dysarthria secondary to neurological diseases and assistance to diagnose apraxia of speech. To sum up, the review has indicated that the acoustic measures to assess MSDs and acoustic remedies for dysarthria may not only be the past foci but also be future trends.

Abstract:

In this article we try to explore the fundamental branch of linguistics that delves into the intricate structure of speech sounds, syllables, stress patterns, and intonation within a language. Phonetics is unique among linguistic disciplines as it not only investigates the linguistic function but also delves into the physical aspects of speech production, including the workings of the pronunciation apparatus and the acoustic properties of sound phenomena, as well as their interpretation by native speakers. Unlike non-linguistic fields, phonetics regards sound phenomena as integral components of a language system, essential for the transformation of words and sentences into audible forms crucial for communication. Phonetics considers both the acoustic-articulatory and functional-linguistic aspects of the sound system, thus distinguishing between phonetics proper and phonology. In essence, phonetics serves as a bridge between the abstract structures of language and their tangible manifestation in speech. It analyzes how sounds are produced by the human vocal tract, how they are perceived by listeners, and how they contribute to the overall meaning and communication process.

Abstract:

The article deals with the essence of stress in the methodical training system phonetics of future teachers-philologists. Based on systemic, analytic-synthetic methods and competence approach the essence of the concept «methodical training system phonetics» is defined, specific principles of training phonetics are designed in the article. The study revealed that the main components in the structure of the methodical training system phonetics are the goals, content, methods, means, and organizational forms of educational process that aimed to achiev the result of training phonetics. It should be noted that the cognitive-knowledge component of methodical system, which ensures a high level mastery of the phonetics program results and forming of future teacher-philologist’s practical competencies for successful communication in society is based on the content of the phonetic-phonological system as a regularly constructed and interconnected set of segmental and suprasegmental phonetics units. It is proved that the stress as a supersegmental phenomenon combines the segmental units into a single integrated system, determines the intonation-rhythmic background of speech, characterizes it by strength, duration and tone; creates clear auditory contrasts, adapts speech to listening and perception. A system of exercises (motivational-oriented, cognitive-activity, analytic-synthetic, accentuation-acoustic) is proposed, that will contribute the mastery of stress doctrine and will be an accentological background in the phonetics learning system of future teachers-philologists. The stress genesis in proto-Indian (Vedic Sanskrit) and proto-Greek languages, based on the comparative-historical method is observed; its term characteristics, features of graphic notation, types, tonic dynamics, rules of stress were clarified in the article. The influence of pre-stress on the accent features of the Ukrainian language formation, on the design of future teachers-philologists’ stress teaching methods is determined.

Abstract:

This study describes prosodic features which marked the emphatic meaning in Indonesian from Indonesian speaker whose mother tongue is, for instance, Javanese, Sundanese, Betawi, Bataknese, Bugisnese, Minangnese, Ma’anyanese, Balinese, and Mandailing. This study is conducted by applying experimental phonetic approach that is by selecting imperative sentences Tutup pintu! ‘Close the door!’ as a target sentence. The data are collected by asking a subject to commend and to repeat the same command to a child or someone who is of the same age of his child to close the door. All collected data are measured in terms of its frequency, intensity, and duration. Those three features are then analyzed statistically to find out the significance differences of acoustic feature difference on every level of utterance emphaticity. The results of this study shows that frequency, intensity, and duration are significant markers which differentiate emphaticity level. In terms of frequency, the higher the emphaticity level ofthe utterance is, the higher the frequency of the base pitch, final pitch, and pitch range of that utterance will be. From the sound intensity point of view, the emphaticity of utterance is marked by base intensity and intensity range. The utterance with high emphaticity level is marked by high base intensity and wider range intensity. From duration point of view, the utterance emphaticity is marked by the duration of all vowels. The height of emphaticity level is marked by the length of time needed by the vowels to be uttered. The emphaticity markers show meaningful correlation.Keywords: acoustic phonetics; experimental phonetics; speech perception; andprosodie feature

Abstract:

The Chong language uses a combination of different acoustic correlates to distinguish among its four contrastive registers (phonation types). Electroglottographic (EGG) and acoustic data were examined from original fieldwork on the Takhian Thong dialect. EGG data shows high open quotient (OQ) values for the breathy register, low OQ values for the tense register, intermediate OQ values for the modal register, and rapidly changing high to low OQ values for the breathy-tense register. Acoustic correlates indicate that H1-A3 best distinguishes between breathy and non-breathy phonation, but measures like H1-H2 and pitch are necessary to discriminate between tense and non-tense phonation. A comparison of spectral tilt and OQ measures shows the greatest correlation between OQ and H1-H2, suggesting that changes in the relative amplitude of frequencies in the upper spectrum are not directly related to changes in the open period of the glottal cycle. OQ is best correlated with changes in the degree of glottal tension.

Abstract:

Summary Phonetics and Phonology have had noticeable developments in the last forty years: phonetics from the articulatory descriptions of sounds of Pike’s Phonetics (1943), to a physiological set of distinctive features of Chomsky & Halle’s The Sound Pattern of English (1968); the acoustic displays of Potter’s Visible Speech (1947) to a set of acoustic distinctive features in Jakobson, Fant, Halle’s Preliminaries (1951). Suprasegmental characterizations have developed from impressionistic labels of tone, stress, length and intonation to an experimentally quantifiable set of parameters characterizing these aspects of speech in a unified manner in Lehiste’s Suprasegmentals (1970). Phonology progressed from the autonomous to the integrated, and from the structural to the transformational/generative, from Pike’s Phonemics (1947), and Trubetzkoy’s Grundzüge (1939) to a complex system of levels/tiers/strata that represent speech in a more detailed, holistic and integrated manner. Current approaches recognize not only the features and segments of the speech continuum, but the rules that organize these into the phonological system. Approaches to the explanation of this organization have been many: the segmental/sequential approach of American phonemicists, Praguian phonologists and early generativists developed into a phonological component that consists of segments, organized into syllables that pattern into rhythmic feet which constitute the geometry of the sequence as a multi level/tier/stratum. These developments are all considered generative, but labelled Natural-Generative, Autosegmental-Genera-tive, Non-Linear-Generative, Metrical-Generative, etc. ‘Generative’ is kept to maintain the twin characteristics of being integrated and rule governed. There has been a shift in the paradigm: from segments to features and from structural to transformational with significant developments in both paradigms in the last forty years.

Abstract:

Acoustic investigation on Balinese vowel of non-fluent aphasia (NFA) has not been previously paid attention yet. Thus, this study examined the acoustic abnormalities of vowel articulation for patients with NFA. Therefore, spectral and temporal charateristic of their vowel sound are essentially searched by comparing the formant value and prosodic features with the normal vowel articulation. Speech output of two patients were observed and analyzed by using Praat and the data were described by implementing the theory of clinical phonetics and acoustics. The spectral analysis showed that the inaccurate constriction of the tongue in vowel articulation affected the range of oral tract (F2), pharynx space (F1), and shape of the lips (F3). Furthermore, the lesion in Broca’s area affected the temporal features of the sounds, such as the lower pitch, lower intensity and longer timing especially voicing environment. The vowels preceded by voiced consonants were significantly longer than those preceded by voiceless ones. So, the highly complex vowels tend to be articulated inaccurately due to articulatory implementation deficit. This finding is consistent with previous results that the spectral and temporal distortion are primarily phonetics rather than phonological planning program.

Abstract:

In this study, we determine the acoustic correlates of primary and secondary stress in Tongan. Vowels with primary stress show differences in f0, intensity, duration, F1, and spectral measures compared to unstressed vowels, but a linear discriminant analysis suggests f0 and duration are the best cues for discriminating vowels with primary stress from unstressed vowels. Vowels with secondary stress are mainly marked by differences in f0 relative to unstressed vowels. With regard to the effects of stress on the vowel space, we find that all five Tongan vowels are higher in the vowel space (have lower F1) when unstressed. Moreover, there is no reduction in the overall size of the vowel space. We interpret this pattern as evidence that unstressed vowels in Tongan are not prone to centralization, vowel reduction, or undershoot. The results, however, are consistent with a sonority expansion account (Beckman, Edwards & Fletcher 1992), whereby stressed vowels are lowered to enhance sonority.

Abstract:

This study deals with the allophones of several phonemes pronounced by a voice actor in performing a character in animation movie. It concerns with the stylistic analysis in phonetic and phonology levels that reinforce the voice actor in performance. The data are taken from the utterances spoken by Adam Sandler, the voice actor of Count Dracula in Hotel Transylvania-2. The method of data analysis is through descriptive qualitative based on stylistic and phonetic approaches. By comparing the general American accent with the voice actor’s pronunciation, it is found that the acoustic features of [5], [r], [?], [º], [n̪] and phonemes /@/ and /e/ have particular effects in reinforcing the character in the movie, mainly to bring up comical atmosphere.Keywords: stylistics, phonetics, phonemes, allophones, voice actor

Abstract:

This paper examines the nature of ‘tone spreading’ in Daishan , a northern Wu dialect of Chinese, from the viewpoint of acoustic phonetics. It compares the mean falling fundamental frequency (FO) contour of disyllabic lexical items with that of monosyllabic citation forms in order to investigate if they are the same. The result shows that they are nearly identical, and therefore, demonstrates phonetic tone spreading as well as phonological tone spreading Acoustic data from Mende (Kupa Mende : Sierra Leone) are then presented and contrasted with those of Daishan. It is shown that the contouricity of the F О in fact differs between these two varieties. This result brings into question the autosegmentally based representation of tones using non-contour features such as HL, which has been commonly applied to the analysis of Wu tone sandhi. Finally, it is suggested that unitary contour features of tone, such as [falling], be applied in the case of Daishan tone spreading.

Abstract:

This publication examines linguistic and linguodidactic sources on the study and mastery of suprasegmental phonetic units, including stress, intonation, pauses, and prosody. The research is conducted using methods of analysis, synthesis, and comparison. The acoustic, perceptual, and functional characteristics of these suprasegmental features are explored. It is revealed that in the field of linguodidactics, the information regarding suprasegmental phonetic elements is often simplified, with limited consideration given to the theoretical and methodological foundations of prosody and intonation. Furthermore, the connection between these suprasegmental features and the accentual subsystem of phonetics is not consistently traced.The content of the case study titled “Suprasegmental Phonetic Units in the Methodological System of Teaching Phonetics to Future Ukrainian Literature Teachers” has been developed and made open for discussion, critical analysis, and enhancement within the interactive technology of the “Linguodidactic Studio”. The content of the case study aims at facilitating a comprehensive understanding of the linguistic material concerning the suprasegmental level of language, which represents both prosody and intonation and is viewed differently by researchers. The linguistic units at this level include accentemes, prosodemes, and intonemes. It has been observed that in spoken language, accentemes correlate with stress, while prosodemes and intonemes correlate with stress, tempo, timbre, rhythm, tone, melody, loudness, and pauses. Considering this, the case study includes research on the interconnectedness of the accentual system of the Ukrainian language with intonation and prosody, as well as the influence of stress on the functioning of a combination of prosodic and intonational components that overlay segmental phonetic units such as sounds, syllables, consonant clusters, rhythmic structures, phrases, and sentences. Through an analysis of the locational sphere of intonation (phrase segments) and prosody (all speech segments, from syllables to text), their relationship has been clarified. It is argued that suprasegmental units in linguodidactics can be studied within the structure of the accentological sub-level. Keywords: Suprasegmental Units of Phonetics; Stress; Prosody; Intonation; Accentological Sublevel; Teacher-Wordist; Linguistic Case; “Linguodidactic Studies”.

Abstract:

If there is such a person as the average phonologist, he might have a conception of the relation between phonetics and phonology that comes close to the relation between social perceptions of crimes and a Code of Criminal Law. The Code's definition of various types of crimes and the penalty each type carries ultimately reflect, to put it crudely, the feelings of the people. Also, the Code's development will reflect social change. Criminal codes will typically incorporate the changing perceptions of the general public, and will now begin to include articles devoted to the use of the Internet, for instance. But at the end of the day, what counts in a law suit is what is in the Criminal Code, not the feelings of the people. So it is with phonology. It is easy to show that lexical forms are frequently related to functional (ergonomic) considerations, and that the way the grammar processes them into surface representations will amount to a reasonable articulatory task for the speaker, while equally the acoustic result will enable the listener to recognise these forms with reasonable ease. However, ultimately we say things the way we do because our lexical representations are the way they are, and our phonological grammar is the way it is.

Abstract:

The present study aims to approach soft ‘g’, a highly disputable sound in Turkish phonetics and phonology, from a multidimensional perspective by (i) analysing its historical development, (ii) investigating its distribution in a dictionary of Modern Turkish, and (iii) studying its acoustic realization. In the Ottoman script soft ‘g’ was represented with two letters: <غ>, pronounced [ɣ], was used in the context of preceding back vowels Vback_(Vback, C); <گ>, pronounced [j], was used in the context of preceding front vowels Vfront_(Vfront, C). In 1928, due to a reform in orthography, these two vocalic contexts were obscured by replacing both <غ> and <گ> with <ğ>. Our investigation of the distribution of /ğ/ in the native vocabulary of Modern Turkish reveals that /ğ/ is in complementary distribution with /ɡ/: /ğ/ appears word-finally and word-medially (i.e. syllable-finally Vğ.C and intervocalically V.ğV), while /ɡ/ is found word-initially and word-medially (i.e. syllable-initially when following a consonant C.ğV). However, in loan words which are well assimilated into Turkish by means of phono-morphological rules the complementary distribution is not attested. Moreover, the behavior of soft ‘g’ in phonological processes strongly suggests that the sound is part of the phonemic inventory of Turkish. Finally, the results of our two acoustic experiments show that /ğ/ is phonetically manifested in the lengthening of the preceding vowel (/Vğ/ → [Vː]) independently of the surrounding vowel environment, word position, and participant age. In addition, the results indicate that speakers of Modern Turkish do not realize acoustic properties of a velar gesture.
