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 devoic

Abstract:

The aim of this study is to present the use of phonetics in non-linguitic researches and sciences such as music and singing. Sung Lyrics of Slovenian songs/poetry have not been investigated phonetically, taking into consideration their quality (vowel formant frequency). The word is about musical art (lyrics), paying attention to the phonetic realization based upon the Slovene language and its norm, which show excellent articulation of the sung vowels.

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

Abstract:

This paper analyses clicks in naturally-occurring English conversation. It demonstrates that regardless of any paralinguistic functions clicks may undertake, their occurrence is orderly and systematic, and intimately tied to the interactional structure of talk. Specifically, clicks are shown to function alongside the phonetic parameters of pitch, articulatory segmental features and voice quality (and the sequential and lexical organisation of talk) to demarcate the onset of new and disjunctive sequences. The methodology employed combines (i) the sequential analysis techniques of Conversation A

Abstract Phonetics and phonology are very interesting areas of Linguistics, and are interrelated. They are based on the human speech system, speech perception, native speakers’ intuition, and vocalic and consonantal systems of languages spoken in this world. There are more than six thousand languages spoken in the world. Every language has its own phonemic inventory, sound system, and phonological and phonetic rules that differ from other languages; most even have distinct orthographic systems. While languages spoken in developed countries are well-studied, those spoken in underdeveloped count

This grammar was cast in terms of basic linguistic theorty, without adhering to any of the particular formal models then in vogue, and is the most comprehensive grammar of any minority Dravidian language. It has been instrumental for our understanding of Proto-Dravidian.

Abstract:

SUMMARY Diachronic nasalization in Portuguese is realized as three sound changes; one of these is analyzed here, deletion of AN/ within the word (NP2). Most of the literature pertinent to this topic concerns phonetics and only one detailed theory of the sound change has been proposed (Nobiling 1903). Viana's phonetic analysis (1892) of syllable-final nasals has been regarded by many as doctrine but instrumental analyses reveal a more complex situation. In this paper a diachronic theory for European Portuguese is proposed which links /-N/ deletion to gliding; this theory is supported by certain

Most work investigating the role of convergence in situations of language attrition has focused on the morpho-syntactic restructuring of the dying language variety. A central concern of such research has been untangling the factors driving the restructuring with an eye towards establishing whether the changes observed are best viewed as externally driven or, by contrast, as internally motivated. A second and equally important concern of this research attempts to define the domains of the linguistic system that may be the most permeable to external influence.

Summary This paper presents a short history of what has been one of the central hypotheses of phonological theory for many years. The binarity problem has been one of most discussed issues of distinctive feature theory since it was first formulated. In structural phonology (more precisely, the Jakobsonian system) binarism has always been a fundamental concept, and most phonological systems have been based on it. Similarly, all the underlying representations postulated in the SPE framework are thought of as being binary. In current phonology, however, the main interest of many investigators has

Abstract:

The introduction of this paper depicts the issues related to the creation of the first in Belarusian linguistics “Pronouncing dictionary of the Belarusian language”, prepared at the junction of interdisciplinary research by specialists of two academic institutions. The dictionary proposes literary pronunciation for 117,000 words with full transcription taking into account existing orthoepic options that do not contradict the norm. It also describes the methodological basis of the work associated with the consolidation of the norms of the literary pronunciation. the main part describes in detai

Abstract:

In this study we report on an instrumental analysis of /spstsk/ clusters in south-central Peninsular Spanish, documenting a three-way system of /s/ realization: speakers tend to produce alveolar fricatives in /st/ clusters, velar fricatives in /sk/ clusters, and glottal fricatives or deletions in /sp/ clusters. An analysis based on the discrete classification of /s/ variants shows that a combination of linguistic factors (following consonant and stress) influences /s/ realization. An analysis based on the phonetic coding of /s/ variants (using measures of fricative duration, relative voicing,

Abstract:

Resin bond is one of the most widely bond used for manufacturing abrasive product. This review paper discusses historical perspectives on resin bond, there are different abrasive products which can be produced by using various types of resin bond such as modification of Phonetic resin and a new water-soluble resin. It is intended to help readers to gain a more comprehensive view on resin bond used for abrasive products and to be instrumental for research and development in producing abrasive products.

This paper will present a preliminary phonetic description of yes-no questions in Nchufie (also known as Bafanji), a Grassfields Bantoid language of the Nun group in the Mbam-Nkam family spoken in Northwestern Cameroon by approximately 8,500 people (Grimes 1988). As there is no published description of this language, a very brief review of the Nchufie segment inventory will be in order. Following this, an instrumental description of the yes-no questions in the language will be presented, focusing on the prosodic cues of duration and pitch. Of special interest will be the interaction of intonat

Abstract:

As among the ten most spoken languages, Acehnese inevitably has many varieties. Many previous studies on Acehnese have been heavily conducted on the northern varieties of Acehnese, leaving other Acehnese varieties unexplored. Pase dialect of Acehnese has been described to have oral and nasal monophthongs and diphthongs, but no studies on Aceh Barat dialect phonetic features of Acehnese have been made. Aceh Barat dialect has also been stigmatized as being rough and vulgar in the previous study. Thus, the current study aims to explore the instrumental analysis of Acehnese oral monophthongs by Ac

Abstract:

The speech of 102 patients with complete unilateral and bilateral cleft lip and palate and 40 noncleft subjects was analysed using the NORAM (Nasal Oral Ratio Meter) instrument. The results obtained were compared with the perceptual judgments made by experienced listeners. A significant correlation was found between the NORAM values and the listener judgments. The NORAM instrument can thus be used as a complement to listener judgments in assessing hypernasality. A discussion of the acoustic and phonetic aspects of the differences between the instrumental and perceptual results is presented.

Abstract:

Introduction. In scientific literature dedicated to J. Brahms, much attention has been paid to a song genre. The researches note that J. Brahms’s songs can be regarded as a continuation of genre-specific features of Austro-German Lied, which retains the purity of the generic semantics in the composer’s works, without involving typically operatic means of vocal intoning, or approaching the so-called “poem with music”. J. Brahms’s songs do not allow the singer to demonstrate the full range of his/her voice, to reveal his/her artistic temperament, to show the technical skill. Absorption in a spec

Abstract:

AbstractMany questions about the expressive or distinctive character of focal accent and emphatic prominence remain unanswered in studies concerning natural language prosody. Recent works show that fundamental frequency variation underlies a categorial perception that permits a differenciation in the representation of these two types of prominence. Using data from French, the contribution of each type of prominence to the intonation contour is analyzed. This study reconciles the difference in expressive character and phonological description associated with each prominence type through the use

Abstract:

Descriptive reports of South Wales English indicate front rounded realizations of thenursevowel (e.g. Wells 1982; Collins & Mees 1990; Mees & Collins 1999; Walters 1999, 2001). However, the specific phonetic properties of the vowel are not depicted uniformly in these studies. In addition, they have relied entirely on auditory descriptions, rather than instrumental measurements. The study presented here is the first to provide a systematic acoustic and articulatory investigation of thenursevowel in South Wales English, and to explore its relationship to realizations of Standard Southern
