Abstract:
Abstract The literature on Dutch phonetics reveals a controversy about certain vowels and consonants. Dictionaries typically do not give phonetics, or if they do, it is not standard IPA, but Dutch-IPA, a personal, or local symbolism. In addition, transcriptions differ. The effect is that the researcher must use questionable symbols and descriptions, and that the language teacher and learner are not provided with a reliable or accessible resource for pronunciation. These difficulties are met here by the attempt to give more careful descriptions of articulations, and consonants. Terms for articulation are standardized, and an extended IPA vowel chart is given to provide a better descriptive analysis than is presently available. A system is presented for the consistent and precise location of vowels. This extended IPA system is used as the basis of phonetic description, analysis and comparison. Emphasis is on the specific case or paradigm method of the philosophy of science so that numerous examples must of necessity be given. This contrasts with the usual article on phonology which provides the fewest number of examples required to support a general or universal hypothesis. This is one of the important differences between phonetics and phonology. These examples provide data for phonology, further research, comparative and contrastive phonetics, as well as to aid the language teacher or learner. In addition, a phonetic comparison is given between Dutch and the Germanic languages.

Abstract:
The result of V. Simovych’s fruitful work is a number of scientific investigations. The scientist worked on improving the system of the Ukrainian language and its terminology in the 20-30’s of the twentieth century and paid much attention to the culture of the Ukrainian language. This article focuses on the study of linguistic terminology in V. Simovich’s textbooks – «Practical grammar of the Ukrainian language» (1918) and «Grammar of the Ukrainian language for self-study and in support of school science» (1921), namely the phonetical terminology. The article presents the corpus of phonetical terms used by V. Simovych in grammars. Using descriptive and comparative methods, a quantitative description of phonetical terms used in the grammars of V. Simovych in the beginning of the twentieth century. The originality of the proposed phonetic terms is indicated. In both books, V. Simovych identified the phonetic terms in a separate section «Sounds». It talks about how «sounds up», the apparatus of speech is illustrated, or the speech apparatus of a person. In the second edition, the author introduces a term звучня that corresponds to the modern term phonetics. In each of the grammar by V. Simovych, about 116 terms have been recorded, giving the names of syllables, characterizing the types of sounds, the emphasis. It also highlights the borrowed sounds, which are called as чужі звуки, чужі двозвуки, чуже «ґ», чуже «ф», чуже «о», etc., but there are also occasional чужоземні двозвуки, чужоземні посереднї звуки «Ö», «Ü».

Dar al-Lughah Wa Dirasat al-Islamiyyah Pamekasan Islamic boarding school is an Arabic language development institutions which applies phonetics learning to students at the first grade. Phonetic learning is important in learning Arabic especially for listening skill. Arabic phonetics and listening skill are an inseparable unity. First graders need to learn phonetics to support their listening skills in learning Arabic. At Dar al-Lughah, this is taught using synthetic-analytical methods (al-thariqah al-tarkibiyyah al-tahliliyyah) as it is considered very effective. The results of observations, interviews, questionnaires and document examination through descriptive qualitative methods show that the use of synthetic-analtical method is very suitable for phonetics subject learning among first graders of Dar al-Lughah. Moreover, several media are used. One of with is schematic drawing of the face (rasm al-takhthithi li al-wajhi). However, some problems arise in the process of phonetics learning, including:1) First graders are not accustomed to recite any sounds of Arabic letters, words or sentences in good and right pronounciation.2) First graders find it difficult to harden the tongue in pronouncing some specific sounds of Arabic letters, especially those which do not exist in Indonesian language, 3) Most of first graders come from schools where they were not used to listen to Arabic letter pronunciation from native speakers.

English learners should aware of English sounds, more specifically English phoneme, to comprehending the English language accurately. In order to completing the goal this research aimed to find out students’ preferences and attitude of English Education Program in Universitas Brawijaya. This was a descriptive quantitative research by using a survey design. The participants of this study were 103 (a hundred and three) students of batch 2015 to 2017 in English Language Education Program. The researcher used adopted questionnaire which consist of 8 items preferred themes and 19 statements of attitude in phonetic as the instrument by Lintunen and Makilahde (2013). This research was analyzed using SPSS program. The result of this study revealed student’s preference and attitudes toward phonetics learning. The most preferred topic chosen by the participants are the vowel systems (28.20%), speech rhythm and accent difference (27.20%), and intonation analysis (26.20%). The students performed a positive attitude toward English phonetic learning that can improve their skill in English especially in their pronunciation (98.1%). It is concluded that the students thought English Phonetics is important to increase their knowledge and their skill in learning English. The researcher suggested for future researcher, they can conduct the research by considering the correlation between pronunciation in English phonetics and speaking skill in English language.

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:
The Chadic (Afroasiatic) language Hausa, spoken mainly in Nigeria and the Republic of Niger, has a series of ‘glottalic’ obstruents. This includes both ejectives ([k’], [s’] or [ts’]; orthographic κ,ts) and two other consonants which have often been described as ‘implosives’ and are represented by the IPA symbols for implosives in Hausa orthography (б,d). In addition, there is a ‘laryngealized’ palatal glide (orthographic ‘y). The description of orthographic б,das implosive has been called into question, however. Ladefoged, in his well-known work on the phonetics of West African languages (Ladefoged (1964: 16)), suggested that, while these sounds may on occasion show the ingressive air flow characteristic of implosives, their most consistent characteristic is a distinctive mode of vocal fold vibration (phonation type) known as creaky voice or laryngealization; thus, Hausa б anddshould be labelled ‘laryngealized stops’ rather than ‘implosives’. One implication of this change in descriptive label is that, at least from a phonetic point of view, б anddshould be grouped with ‘y.

Abstract. It is known that descriptive phonetics refers to phonetic phenomena such as speech sounds, their formation, types, changes, syllables, intonation, pause, stress, and their peculiarities. These phenomena recorded in the process of speech combine into a single system and form a speech act. This article discusses and comparatively analyzes stylistic features of intonation in the English and Uzbek languages. Background. Therefore, in the analysis and study of such phenomena, it is necessary to study them separately, and to keep in mind that these phenomena require one another, in other words, units that cannot exist without the other. Particularly, vowel sounds, which are stressed, form a syllable, and words are formed from the syllables, a sentence is formed from words, and each word and sentence is pronounced with a specific intonation and pause. In the formation of such a speech chain, the phonetic segment (main part) and supersegment (additional parts) elements are almost identically involved. But they also have some peculiarities while using them

Abstract:
Among what some oriental researchers had decided, and has been followed by many of modern Arab researchers, is that the ancient arabic linguistics didn't pay attention to sonorous sounds in Arabic language so well as their consideration to the mute sounds. Their point of view is that these sounds got only superficial mentions, therfore, they didn't arrive to define the nature of these letters pretending that ancient phonologique scientists were considering them casual sounds, a part of mute sounds, in addition their effectiveness to the script more than their effectiveness to the aural. Although, if we get back to the patrimonial phonetic resources and read our ancient Arab scientists achievement, we find the opposite. What they arrived to in their researches in the description of sonorous sounds in its physiological and physical parts, or in its functional and syntactic parts, is not far from that proved by modern researchers of phonetics. Thus, this research will, trough description and analysis, work on the study of sonorous sounds in Arabic language by our ancient scientists. It will also see in the importance of their sonorous achievement.

Abstract:
China has been promoting the project of the “New Silk Road” (NSR) not just as a revival of the ancient trade road or a transport route between East and West. On a larger scale it is the redesigning of the entire commercial and economic model of the Middle East and Central Asia. Thus we have no time to wait until all the people involved in the project will graduate from the universities’ foreign language departments. We are well aware that we need short term language programs intended for non-philologist learners. One of the aspects that is compulsory for the beginner is the phonetics of the Chinese language. The article discusses the basic modern requirements for the content and form of teaching the phonetics of the Chinese language. The methods like synthesis, comparative analysis and literature review were used to outline the requirements for teaching phonetics of the Chinese language in short term language programs and in higher education. As a result of the study the textbook aimed at forming the correct pronunciation for beginners is introduced. While compiling the textbook the descriptive method and the method of comparison were used.

Abstract:
The goal of the present project is to provide a preliminary descriptive analysis of the language found in a short manuscript in the Special Collections of the Georgetown University Library. The manuscript is a five-page Catholic catechism written in an Eastern Algonquian language. It is the only extant record of the language which is presumed to be Piscataway (also called Conoy). The identification of the language is based on the attribution of authorship to Father Andrew White, a seventeenth-century English Jesuit missionary. By providing as much of a description as possible through morphological and phonological analysis of the data, I hope to recover some knowledge about this extinct language and add to the sparse data on Eastern Algonquian languages. Because the goal of the project is to uncover the data in the manuscript, no theoretical viewpoint has been adopted regarding morphological entities or processes.

Abstract:
Este trabalho tem como objetivo descrever a fonologia da língua Hakitía, língua esta de origem românica falada pela comunidade judaicomarroquina no norte do Brasil. A pesquisa objetiva descrever e documentar esse idioma e quais de seus elementos ainda resistem; e assim, compreender o que acontece com uma língua que tem, praticamente, 516 anos de existência. Esta geração é a última que existe em se tratando dos falantes. Faz-se uma breve contextualização histórica da hakitía, voltando-se à sua origem na Espanha, com a expulsão dos judeus, em 1492, pelos reis Isabel de Castela e Fernando de Aragão, suas várias rotas de exílio, dentre elas, o Marrocos, no norte da África, e, a partir daí até Eretz Amazônia. A pesquisa tem como base metodológica pressupostos gerais da linguística estruturalista, no que se refere à sua descrição.
This study aims at describing the phonology of the Hakitia language, a language of Romanic origin, spoken by the Jewish Maroccan community living in the North of Brazil. This research aims at describing and documenting such language and which of its elements still remains, with the purpose of understanding what has occurred with a language that is, virtually, 516 years old. As far as speaking is concerned, this generation of Hakitian speakers is the last one we know about. We present a brief historical background of the Hakitia language since its origin in Spain until the expulsion of the Jews from this country by the kings Ferdinand and Isabella the Catholic. We examine also their several routes of exile, among which Marrocco in Northern Africa and from there to Amazon Eretz. The methodological underpinnings used to describe this research came from the general assumptions of structural linguistics.

Abstract:
Cette description grammaticale de l’afar s’appuie essentiellement sur des données recueillies sur le terrain auprès de très nombreux locuteurs afarophones, vivant à Djibouti, en Erythrée et en Ethiopie. La richesse des données a permis de prendre en compte les variantes dialectales tout au long de la description. Celle-ci s’organise autour de plusieurs parties : système phonologique et phonétique, système nominal, système verbal, et syntaxe de l’énoncé. Cette étude a permis de mieux évaluer l’originalité de certains traits connus mais aussi de mettre en valeur des traits peu connus voire ignorés jusqu’à présent. Citons entre autres : redéfinition du statut de la rétroflexe ; approfondissement des valeurs sémantiques et syntaxiques attachées aux différents procédés de dérivation nominale et verbale ; illustration du rôle primordial de la relative dans une langue où il n’y a pas de catégorie « adjectif » ; étude détaillée de la polarité de genre et de l’accord du verbe en genre non en nombre (accord au singulier avec un nom marqué comme pluriel) ; distinction entre noms adverbiaux et adverbes sur des critères syntaxiques; mise en valeur de la portée syntaxique et sémantique des quatre postpositions; meilleure définition de la catégorie des idéophones sur le plan morphophonologique, syntaxique et sémantique ; mise en lumière des procédés de topicalisation. En apportant un nouvel éclairage sur l’afar, à l’intérieur du couchitique et de la famille afro-asiatique, cette thèse se veut aussi une contribution à la typologie des langues
This grammatical description of Afar is mostly based on fieldwork data collected from a great number of Afar speakers living in Djibouti, Eritrea and Ethiopia. The wealth of data has allowed us to embrace dialectal variations in the description. This description has been built around several components: the phonological and phonetic system, the nominal system, the verbal system, and the syntax.This study leads us to better assess the originality of some features that are already known, and also to bring out other features that were not well known or unknown until now: redefinition of the status of retroflex consonants ; enhanced understanding of semantic and syntactic values of different processes of nominal and verbal derivation ; illustration of the crucial role of the relative clause in a language without adjectives ; detailed study of gender polarity and verb agreement in gender – and not in number – (agreement in the singular with a name marked in the plural) ; differentiation between adverbial names and adverbs on the basis of syntactic criteria ; highlight of the syntactic and semantic significance of four postpositions ; better definition of ideophones from the morphophonological, syntactic and semantic aspects ; highlight of topicalization processes.

Abstract:
Ce sujet de recherche propose une description de quelques variétés linguistiques à tradition orale du Piémont occidental italien, selon les approches de la dialectologie perceptuelle et de la géolinguistique descriptive. Les variétés choisies comme objet d’analyse se situent dans la province de Turin, en bordure et au sein même des vallées piémontaises étiquetées comme « valles vaudoises » : Val Cluson et Val Germanasca (Val Saint Martin). L’aire que nous considérons est caractérisée par un contact linguistique marqué par une forte identité culturelle entre les parlers gallo-romans (minorités linguistiques, de type occitan provençal) et italo-romans (de type pédémontans) : ces variétés ne bénéficient pas d’une position paritaire ni d’un point de vue politico-administratif, ni dans la conscience des locuteurs qui entretiennent avec les quatre types linguistiques, i.e. l’italien (régional et moyen), les variétés occitanes et pédémontanes, ainsi que le français, une relation complexe. Nous avons relevé les processus variationnels (phonétiques et lexicaux) qui semblent marquer l’identité linguistique des locuteurs dans cet espace plurilingue, en tenant compte des perspectives, objective et subjective (perception des locuteurs quant à la variation linguistique de l’aire), diachronique et synchronique, dans l’examen des systèmes linguistiques choisis, très peu pris en considération par la littérature dialectologique récente. Cette double perspective permet également de clarifier la trajectoire de processus de changement phonétique qui impactent la restructuration des systèmes de ces vallées
The thesis focuses on a description of four dialectal varieties (gallo-italian and gallo-romance) of the Western Piedmont (Italy) by adopting several linguistic approches, perceptual dialectology's and geolinguistics' ones. The géographical area is caracterized by a linguistic variation and a language contact, marked by a high degree of linguistic identity between gallo-romance (occitan) and gallo-italian (pedemontans) dialects : these varieties do not benefit of the same position by political and social points of view, nor in the awareness of the speakers

Full text
Abstract:
This study investigates sociophonetic stress variation in the Onondaga County area of Upstate New York. I argue that five variations of stress correlate to factors of age, education level, place of residence, frequency, and analogical change. Dinkin and Evanini (2010) have examined and discovered similar outcomes of stress variation in his work with dialectal features across the state of New York. Rather than analyze the state and its borders in their entirety, I focus on morpheme-specific analogical change of stress in specific social categories within the Syracuse, New York region. In terms of lexical items, I analyze stress placement within four-, five-, and six-syllable words containing the -mentary affix and explore how stress shifts in these words depending on those social and linguistic factors. Data were collected through formal and informal sociolinguistic interviews in which each instance of the target words were analyzed as belonging to one of five types of stress. Results indicate that Syracuse is one of the locations in the state that see all five stress patterns. To further investigate, I take the provided evidence of stress variation and filter for sociological relevance for factors of age, gender, and residence.

Full text
Abstract:
The present study aims to address the question of how vowel quality varies between rural and town-dwelling male speakers of Irish-English in South Roscommon, Ireland. Previous studies have identified four distinct varieties of Irish-English in Ireland: the Eastern, South &Western, Midland, and Northern varieties, loosely based on the political provinces of Munster, Connaught, Leinster, and Ulster. County Roscommon straddles the provinces of Connaught and Leinster, complicating the presence of phonological features associated with one of two different ‘accent regions’. The last phonological study carried out in Roscommon was by Patrick Leo Henry in 1957. While this was a promising start in assessing regional distinctions, rural ones in particular, the lack of recent studies leaves a sizeable gap that does not address modern changes in the linguistic landscape of Ireland, nor the availability of modern methods of acoustic analysis. In particular, the present study investigates the pre-nasal merging of front unrounded vowels /ɛ/ and /ɪ/, vowel centralization, and a lower /æ/, associated with the Western variety of Irish English. Factors such as supraregionalization lead to my hypothesis that rural speakers will demonstrate higher frequency of the vowel features associated with the Western variety. To assess the frequency of certain vowel sounds, twenty participants were recorded and formant data was extracted for F1 and F2 values of the tokens. It was found that the rural speakers in Roscommon demonstrated a more prominent merger between /ɛ/ and /ɪ/, a lower [æ], and the rural speakers demonstrated an overall trend toward centralization.

Un autre travail ("le bresil : la faillite de l'eldorado?") analyse les principaux problemes du bresil contemporain en egard a sa formation socio-economique : grands cycles de produits d'exportation et leurs consequences, formation d'un marche interne, repartition des revenus, le "miracle" economique bresilien, la transnationalisation de l'economie et les caracteristiques de l'endettement exterieur du bresil
This thesis is made up of a research whole about phonetics on brazil's portuguese. It is a long descriptive work presented in three stages : one precis including general rules of pronunciation ; one detailed description of the whole system of brazil's portuguese sounds in seventeen brazilian states (on txentythree); one analysis on the intricate problem of linguistic areas delimitation in brazil with regard to phonetics. These works exclude a single pattern and are based on examples of oral language as it is really spoken in all brazilian regions. This variety of pronunciations shows the principal peculiarities of brazilian portuguese. It also questions the foundations of brazil's division in linguistic areas adopted since the twenties. Another work (brazil : eldorado's failure?") analyses the principal contemporary brazil's problems attached to its socio-economical history : exportation produce cycles, inner market, revenue sharing, the brazilian economical "miracle", the economics transnationalization, brazil's international debt, etc

Abstract:
Il existe dans le sud ouest algérien plusieurs variétés de berbère. Certaines d'entre elles sont situées dans la région dite du Sud-Oranais et peuvent être cataloguées comme des langues en danger. Nous avons donc entrepris de décrire ces variétés avant qu'elles ne disparaissent. Cela a été mené à bien en réalisant plusieurs enquêtes de terrain. Par ailleurs, ce travail de documentation linguistique et de conservation du patrimoine culturel n'est qu'un des aspects de cette thèse. Ce travail académique est à la croisée de différents domaines disciplinaires. Nous avons eu recours aux méthodes en usage en Sciences de l'Information Géographique (SIG) et en Sciences Des Données (SDD) pour mener une étude dialectologique. Grâce aux SIG, nous avons réalisé une étude géolinguistique qui nous a permis de visualiser sur des cartes linguistiques la distribution de la variation linguistique de certaines consonnes. À partir de ces données, nous avons discuté de la réalité phonologique de ces consonnes simples et géminées. Dans le prolongement, une étude dialectométrique a été effectuée en nous basant sur des méthodes de partitions des données. Nous avons utilisé les méthodes d'Apprentissage Non Supervisé (PHA, k-moyenne, MDS, ...) et les méthodes d'Apprentissage Supervisé (CART) connues en SDD. Les résultats ont été affichés sous la forme de figures (cartes linguistiques, dendogramme, heatmap, arbre, ...) à des fins d'exploration visuelle des données. L'ensemble de ces études a été accompli par le biais d'un traitement informatique (langage R). Puis, nous avons entrepris une analyse phonétique fondée sur une étude acoustique des rhotiques alvéolaires : [ɾ], [r], [ɾˤ] et [rˤ]. Ces unités phoniques se distinguent par leur temporalité et leur réalisation articulatoire. Ainsi, les spectrogrammes nous ont permis d'examiner la distribution de ces sons. Puis, cela nous a aidé à distinguer ce qui relevait de la phonétique et de la phonologie. Ensuite, nous avons achevé cette thèse par une étude phonétique et statistique. Ces dernières ont porté sur l'obstruction réalisée par la pointe de la langue et sur la nature des vocoïdes qui accompagnent les rhotiques alvéolaires dans l'environnement d'une consonne
There are several Berber languages in the south west of Algeria. Some of them are situated in the so-called Sud-Oranais and they can be categorized as endangered languages. So I have decided to describe them before they disappear. That’s why, I have carried out several fieldworks. But, this linguistic documentation work and cultural heritage conservation are just one of aspects of our thesis. This PhD are transdisciplinary. I have used the methods which are applied in Geographic Information Science (GIS) and in Data Science (DS) to carry out a dialectological study. A geolinguistic study has been undertaken and has enabled to visualize the expansion of the linguistic variation of certain consonants through GIS. Based on these data, I have debated the phonological reality of the simple and geminate consonants. From this research, a dialectometric study was carried out on the basis of data partitioning methods. I have used the Unsupervised Learning Methods (HAC, k-mean, MDS, ...) and the Supervised Learning Methods (CART) known in DS. A visual exploration (linguistic maps, dendogram, heatmap, tree, ...) approach is proposed in order to analyse the results which have been realized through computer processing (R language). Then, I have undertaken a phonetic analysis, which is based on an acoustic study of alveolar rhotics : [ɾ], [r], [ɾˤ] and [rˤ]. These phonic unities are distinguished by their temporality and their articulatory realization. Thus, the spectrograms enabled to examine the distribution of these sounds and to distinguish what was related to phonetic and phonology. Then, this thesis with a phonetic and statistical study has reinforced this research focused on the obstruction made by the tip of the tongue and on the nature of the vocoids which goes along with the alveolar rhotic in the area of the consonants

Abstract:
This chapter focuses on the articulatory phonetics of English vowels; thus, it identifies descriptive parameters for vowel articulation in English, differentiates monophthongs and diphthongs, classifies the vowels of American English using these parameters, and addresses vowel reduction in American English. The theoretical material is followed by a pedagogical consideration of how the specifics of the articulatory characteristics of English vowels can be addressed in the classroom to facilitate comprehension and production of English vowels by English language learners. Supplementary materials are suggested for readers offering sample activities that could be used by language practitioners in ESL classrooms for this goal, as well as for exploring other dialects of English, including specific regional dialects falling under the umbrella of General American English, the variety addressed in this chapter.

Abstract:
The main focus of this chapter is to present the articulatory description of English consonants and provide practical guidance on how to teach the consonant phonemes to ELLs. The chapter starts with the introduction of phonetics as a subfield of linguistics. The concepts such as phonemes, contrastive versus non-contrastive sounds, the branches of phonetics that study different aspects of human speech sounds, and two different types of phonemes—consonants and vowels—are introduced in this section. Next, the reader is familiarized with the International Phonetic Alphabet, which is a system of phonetic transcription. The chapter further presents the description of the vocal tract and explores the classification of English consonants according to their place and manner of articulation, and voicing. Some implications from the introduced phonetics theory for teaching phonics, phonemic awareness, and spelling to young ELLs, and pronunciation to adult English learners, as well as a set of recommendations for effective phonetics instruction for ELLs are discussed to conclude the chapter.

Abstract:
The authors of the article focus on the difficulties experienced by younger students in mastering the spelling norms of the Russian language. This is the inability to immediately distinguish in the consciousness of the signified and signifying, the inability to correctly determine the word stress and a number of others. The teacher should know the methods of formation of students ' concept of "phoneme" and the ability to recognize other phonetic units of the language. It is emphasized that the phonetic work should precede the graphic one, based on the development of the speech-motor apparatus. The authors present a description of some methods of formation of the phonetic competence, such as: exercises on the distinction between words as lexical units and as a "phonetic word", the correct syllabification, accent, modelling, awareness similarsocial functions.
