Abstract:
This dissertation is an analysis of the consonantal phonology of Gosiute, a member of the Numic group of Uto-Aztecan languages. The Numic languages are characterized by consonant alternations and distributional patterns which are rooted in patterns of phonetic naturalness. In this dissertation I provide an analysis of these patterns of distribution and alternation within the framework of Optimality Theory (Prince and Smolensky 1993). This dissertation accomplishes three things. First, it provides the most detailed treatment to date of the consonant system of a Numic language. Second, it demons

Abstract:
This thesis is concerned with the examination of the glottalic consonants of Hausa, a Chadic language spoken in northern Nigeria, Niger, Cameroon, Togo and Ghana. The glottalic consonants constitute a set of phonemes in the language whose historical and phonetic properties merit further investigation. The study is laid out in three parts. Part one (Chapters 1, 2 and 3) is the historical section. Here, a general overview of the Hausa language is given. Also discussed are several specific points made by pioneers of the genetic classification of Chadic within Afroasiatic and the reconstruction of

Abstract:
This dissertation investigates the place of articulation of allegedly ‘placeless’ consonants of Japanese - the moraic nasal /N/ and the glottal fricative /h/. In the discipline of phonology, these two consonants have typically been analyzed as having no place features of their own, on the grounds that their place features are predictable from the adjacent segments, that they often appear as outputs of debuccalization, and that they show high articulatory variability. While some researchers believe that certain segments are placeless both phonologically and phonetically, it has not been ex

Abstract:
The production of fricatives is not yet fully understood because the mechanism is particularly complex. Studies of Portuguese fricatives have been very limited, so in this thesis a novel methodology of corpus design, and temporal and spectral analysis techniques were developed to enhance our description of the acoustic properties, and to increase our understanding of the production of fricatives. The data presented in this thesis could be used to improve the naturalness of synthetic speech. Corpora were devised that included the fricatives /f, v, s, z, J, 3/ in the following contexts: sustaine

Abstract:
Saurssure argues that the relationship between form and meaning in language is arbitrary, but sound symbolism theory argues that there are forms in language that can develop non-arbitrary association with meanings. This thesis proposes that there is a sound symbolic association between consonants and action words. To be more specific, a stop sound is likely to be associated with the action of percussion and a continuant sound with continuing movements. Evidence for such an association was found through three empirical studies. The findings of two experiments revealed that such an association i

Firstly, the speech data are analysed to chart the emergence of English consonants in relation to phonemic targets.

Abstract:
This dissertation explores the phonetics and phonology of intervocalic consonants in Lheidli, a dialect of Dakelh (Carrier) Athapaskan spoken in the interior of British Columbia. Through a series of studies on Lheidli, I show quantitatively what has previously been noted impressionistically in the Athapaskan literature: intervocalic consonants are remarkably long. The implication of these consonants for the structure of Lheidli is approached from two perspectives. First, I investigate their role from a purely phonetic approach, focusing on their effect on the perceived rhythmic structure of Lh

It is a common belief that there are invariant acoustic patterns in speech signals, which can be related to their phonetic description. These patterns are expected to remain invariant, independent of the language, speaker, phonetic context, etc. Although many investigations based on short-time spectral analysis have established the feasibility of extracting invariant cues in certain contexts, they could not provide a set of invariant cues in any given phonetic context.
