This study examines the role of voiceless and voiced fricatives as the first consonant in word-initial true consonant clusters and adjunct clusters. Specifically, this study sought evidence to determine whether the lack of voiced fricatives, such as /z/ and /v/, in English word-initial true and adjunct clusters is due to an active ban or an accidental gap in the language's phonotactics. This study also looked into whether the voiceless alveolar fricative /s/ is the only fricative that can play the role of adjunct segment in word-initial adjunct clusters, or whether other fricatives, such as th

The present study aims to investigate whether or not Saudi ESL learners have difficulty pronouncing and perceiving the final consonant clusters of English words in the coda position.

Can a system of forced alignment reliably reproduce pronunciation judgements that closely match those of a human researcher? How do variables, such as speech style, following context, motivation for simplification and speech rate, affect the variable pronunciations of word-final consonant clusters?

Fourteen Najdi participants were asked to read a list of thirty-one words that took into account falling, equal, and rising sonority clusters, consisting of obstruents, nasals, liquids, and glides. The instrument contained one, two, and three steps of sonority for each level of sonority (falling and rising) to determine the minimal sonority distance used in Najdi Arabic.

The aim of this thesis is to develop a model of the acquisition of consonant clusters within the phonological framework of CVCV theory. This is the first attempt to link CVCV to the area of language acquisition. It thus provides a new domain within which CVCV can be evaluated against other phonological theories. The core claim of CVCV is that syllable structure consists solely of onsets and nuclei, without any branching constituents. Consonant clusters are separated by empty nuclei, whose distribution is controlled by binary parameters. The model developed in this thesis is based on the assump

Ten native Najdi Arabic speakers were asked to pronounce 24 words and 24 sentences that contained all the possible consonant cluster patterns that could occur in Najdi Arabic.

The main goal of this thesis is to investigate the nature of an optional consonant deletion process, through an articulatory and acoustic study of word-final consonant clusters in Persian.

For example, the final clusters in the words /næft/ “oil”, /suχt/ “burnt” and /qæsd/ “intention” are optionally simplified in fast/casual speech, resulting in: [næf], [suχ], and [qæs]. What is not clear from this traditional description is whether the coronal stop is truly deleted, or if

Not only do such constraints allow us to predict developmental orders (e.g. a cluster of a certain type or in a certain position is predicted to emerge prior to another), but they should als

To achieve a better understanding of the role of the epenthetic vowel, this study shows that the linguistic and phonotactic contexts condition the occurrence of these vowels.

Abstract:

博士<br>國立清華大學<br>語言學研究所<br>90<br>This thesis consists of three individual experimental studies each of which investigates certain factor(s) that might play some role in constraining L2 learners’ consonant cluster simplification. Study I examines the effect of word-length on Chinese learners’ choice of the two strategies vowel epenthesis and consonant deletion, Study II explores the effect of style or task formality on the learners’ use of the three simplification strategies vowel epenthesis, consonant deletion, and consonant replacement, and Study III is an even more comprehensive study, inves

Abstract:

Η παρούσα εργασία διερευνά την αντιληπτικότητα δύο κατηγοριών διμελών συμφωνικών συμπλεγμάτων του τύπου [φρακτικό + φρακτικό] και [φρακτικό + υγρό] σε αρχικές και ενδιάμεσες, τονισμένες ή άτονες συλλαβές λέξεων της ελληνικής από 26 πληροφορητές, φυσικούς και αλλόγλωσσους (με μητρική γλώσσα την αλβανική και βουλγαρική) ομιλητές της ΚΝΕ. Η εκτεταμένη ποικιλία που χαρακτηρίζει τα εμπειρικά δεδομένα συντελεί στην υιοθέτηση της Θεωρίας του Βέλτιστου σε συνδυασμό με το μοντέλο των Πολλαπλών Παράλληλων Γραμματικών. Μετά την ολοκλήρωση της πειραματικής διαδικασίας κατέστη εμφανές ότι το σύστημα της εκ

Abstract:

The purpose of the present study was to examine epenthesis in children's consonant cluster productions from phonological and phonetic perspectives. The following questions were investigated: (1) Do consonant clusters produced with an epenthetic vowel differ in duration from those without? (2) Is the epenthetic vowel in the consonant cluster consistent in length and quality, or do co-articulatory effects occur? (3) Is the epenthetic vowel dependent in terms of duration on the phrasal context or the duration of the syllable nucleus? The subjects, S1 (Charles) and S2 (Blair), were two of s

碩士<br>國立中正大學<br>中國文學所<br>96<br>This study attempts to explore the initial consonant cluster of Archaic Chinese from “Guang Yun (廣韻)” and “Jing Dian Shih Wen (經典釋文)” on the basis of the existence affirmed by modern researches about Archaic Chinese. The “polyphony” means one word has more than one pronunciation. The initial consonant cluster evolved into sole initial consonant from Archaic Chinese to Ancient Chinese. Furthermore, we deduced that the initial consonant cluster disappeared in Han Dynasty since the explicit evidences are fewer and fewer after Han Dynasty. The initial consonant clust

Abstract:

This research examines how competing factors determine the articulation of English stop-stop sequences across word boundaries in both native (L1) and nonnative (L2) speech. The two general questions that drive this research are 1) how is consonantal coordination implemented across English words? And 2) is this implementation different in L1 versus L2 speech? A group of 15 native English (NE) speakers and a group of 25 native Mandarin speakers (NM) who use English as a foreign language (ESL) participated in this study. The stimuli employed in this research were designed along four major para

The topic of this thesis belongs to the area of L2 acquisition. It focuses on the Czech as a second/foreign language for native Spanish speakers, specifically on their pronunciation of selected consonantal clusters in comparison with the Czech orthoepic norm. The theoretical part summarizes the problems learning the pronunciation of second/foreign language and describes phonetic systems, syllable structure and specific combinatorial properties of sounds in Czech and Spanish. The practical part describes the research for which thirteen Spanish speakers from different countries and with differen

Abstract:

This thesis studies the inter-group variation of the consonant endings among five principal subgroups of the Chaoshan dialect, a branch of the South Min dialect in Eastern Guangdong Province, from the perspective of language contact and horizontal transmission. I conduct a quantitative study to present the synchronic variance of the consonant endings among five Chaoshan subgroups and the diachronic variance from Middle Chinese to modern Chaoshan dialect on a numerical scale. The current literature tends to take the change of the consonant endings as a process of weakening governed by regular r
