“Structured heterogeneity”, a founding concept of variationist sociolinguistics, puts focus on the ordered social differentiation in language. We extend the notion of structured heterogeneity to formal phonological structure, i.e., representations based on contrasts, with implications for phonetic implementation. Phonology establishes parameters for what varies and how. Patterns of stability and variability with respect to a given feature’s relationship to representations allow us to ground variationist analysis in a framework that makes predictions about potential sound changes: more structure correlates to more stability; less structure corresponds to more variability. However, even though all change requires variability, not all variability leads to change. Two case studies illustrate this asymmetry, keeping a focus on phonetic change with phonological stability. First, Germanic rhotics (r-sounds) from prehistory to the present day are minimally specified. They show tremendous phonetic variability and change but phonological stability. Second, laryngeal contrasts (voicing or aspiration) vary and change in language contact. We track the accumulation of phonetic change in unspecified members of pairs of the type spelled <s> ≠ <z>, etc. This analysis makes predictions about the regularity of sound change, situating regularity in phonology and irregularity in phonetics and the lexicon. Structured heterogeneity involves the variation inherent within the system for various levels of phonetic and phonological representation. Phonological change, then, is about acquiring or learning different abstract representations based on heterogeneous and variable input.

Full textAbstract:
To assess a phonological theory, we often compare its predictions to phonetic observations. This can be complicated, however, because it requires a theoretical model that maps from phonological representations to articulatory and acoustic observations. In this study we are concerned with the question of how phonetic observations are interpreted in relation to phonological theories. Specifically, we argue that deviations of observations from theoretical predictions do not necessitate the rejection of the theoretical assumptions. We critically discuss the problem of overinterpretation of phonetic measures by using syllable coordination for different speaker groups within Articulatory Phonology. It is shown that surface variation can be explained without necessitating substantial revision of the underlying phonological theory. These results are discussed with respect to two types of interpretational errors in the literature. The first involves the proliferation of phonological categories in order to accommodate variation, and the second the rejection of a phonological theory because the model which generates its predictions is overly simplified.

Reporting the results of an instrumental acoustic examination of the vowel systems of ten Jamaican Creole (or basilect-) dominant and nine Jamaican English (or acrolect-) dominant speakers, this article links phonetic features with sociolinguistic factors. The nature and relative role of vowel quantity and quality differences in phonemic contrast are considered. The question of whether contrastive length operates in speakers' phonological systems is addressed by comparison of spectral and temporal features. Intraspeaker variation in vowel quality is found to play an important role in stylistic variation, demonstrating the complexity of variation in Jamaican varieties. The complex vowel quality (spectral) and quantity (temporal) relations reported here extend our understanding of the spectral and temporal characteristics of vowels involved in phonological contrasts in Jamaican varieties, the range of phonetic variation to be found within a postcreole continuum, and the interaction of phonetic factors in the expression of stylistic variation.

AbstractIn recent years, more and more evidence is accumulating that there is a great deal of variation as a result of morphological complexity, both at the level of phonology and at the level of phonetics. Such findings challenge established linguistic models in which morphological information is lost in comprehension or production. The present Special Issue presents five studies that investigate the phenomenon in more detail, centered around the following questions: How do morphological relations affect articulatory and phonological properties of complex words? How do articulatory and phonological properties of complex words reflect their morphological relations? What do these two questions imply about theories that address morphological relatedness at the level of sounds?

Full textAbstract:
Central Catalan ‘prepalatal’ (postalveolar) consonants show a complex phonological distribution. Whereas in word-internal intervocalic position a four-way opposition obtains, involving a contrast in voice and a fricative/affricate distinction, elsewhere at least one of the two oppositions is neutralized. Position in word determines whether affrication and/or voicing is contrastive. We study the effect of this factor as well as other phonetic factors and style on the allophony of the voiced prepalatals in a large corpus of Central Catalan. The most significant conditioning factor turns out to be the preceding context, whereas position in word per se is not significant either for degree of constriction or for voicing. Thus, we do not find a direct effect of phonological contrastiveness on phonetic variation.

Full textAbstract:
Whistled languages are communication systems that convey an open-ended set of messages by transposing selected acoustic aspects of the spoken languages that serve as their source. There are two types: those based on non-tone languages, which transpose F2 patterns, and those based on tone languages, which transpose tone melodies. This paper examines basic phonological and phonetic properties of both types of whistled language, with the goal of eliciting their basic similarities and differences. Pitch variation is found to encode segmental distinctions in the first type of language and tonal distinctions in the second. What is common to both is the central role of amplitude modulations, which provide a frame with respect to which segmental boundaries are defined and major segmental classes are distinguished. Examples are taken from whistled languages based on Spanish, Turkish, Moba and Hmong, among others.

Full textAbstract:
This paper presents findings on the articulatory and prosodic conditioning of Italian (lexical and post-lexical) geminate and non-geminate consonants. Phonetic and phonological prominence interact, resulting in a durational contrast which is not uniformly robust. So-called ‘inherent’ geminates are also found to be long post-consonantally, contrary to received wisdom, and do not form ‘supergeminates’ in conditions of postlexical gemination. Formant analysis of laterals reveals possible non-durational properties of gemination, with evidence for a more palatalised tongue configuration in geminates. Implications for the structural status of gemination are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
One key aspect of Englishes in the Kachruvian Expanding Circle concerns phonetic features as they commonly bear traits of speakers native languages. This article explores language contact phenomena that are likely to cause L1L2 phonological transfer, which underlies the phonetic specificity of English in East Asia. Drawing on the general theory of loan phonology, the author treats phonographic adaptation of English loanwords in East Asian languages compared to Russian, as a reliable source of data that supports research on the nature of phonetic variation in Chinese, Korean, Japanese, and Russian Englishes. The data were obtained through comparative analysis of English loanwords (200 for each language) selected from dictionary sources and speech samples from the Russian-Asian Corpus of English which was collected in earlier research. The findings confirm typological correlation of phonological transfer in loanword phonographic adaptation and in foreign language phonology. In both linguistic contexts, a crucial role is played by syllabic constraints, because being the fundamental unit of any phonological system, a syllable serves a domain of its segmental and suprasegmental features. Consequently, various resyllabification phenomena occur in English borrowings in the languages of East Asia whose phonological typology is distant from that of English; as a demonstration of this same conflict, the syllabic and, hence, rhythmic organization of East Asian Englishes tends to exhibit similar code-copying variation. The greater typological proximity of English and Russian syllable regulations leads to fewer manifestations of syllabic and rhythmic restructuring in both loanword adaptations and English spoken by native speakers of Russian.

Full textAbstract:
Perception of nonnative contrasts by adult second language (L2) learners is affected by native language phonology. The current study contrasted predictions from two models of L2 phonological acquisition that focus on different representational levels as the origin of native language transfer: the abstract categorization level from the Perceptual Assimilation Model for L2 learners (PAM-L2; Best & Tyler, 2007) and the phonetic level from the Automatic Selective Perception model (ASP; Strange, 2011). The target phonemes were pairs of Arabic consonants that were equally similar on the abstract categorization level but unequally similar on the phonetic level—voiced and voiceless pharyngeal fricatives /ʕ/, /ħ/ and uvular fricatives /χ/, /ʁ/. Twenty intermediate-level English-speaking Arabic L2 learners and 10 Arabic native speakers (NS) completed auditory identification and discrimination tasks. We first conducted a discriminant analysis (DA) to quantify ASP predictions based on phonetic variables. L2 learners were generally more accurate when perceiving the pharyngeal consonants compared to the uvulars and when perceiving the voiced phonemes compared to the voiceless. These findings, and L2 learners’ perceptual variation across contexts, predicted by the DA, suggest that L2 speakers were able to track phonetic cues during L2 perception and thus favor the ASP. These results support the interpretation that L2 learners attend to the phonetic detail in nonnative segments; however, they do not build nativelike phonological representations for the segments with weaker phonetic cues. This ability to process low-level phonetic cues opens the possibility for learners to create more robust phonological representations.

The main goal of this study was to determine the extent to which (some of) Chambers' (1998) "Eight Rules of Dialect Acquisition", also discussed by Surek-Clark (1998) in her study of Brazilian Portuguese speakers, apply to Mozambique Portuguese learners and if sociolinguistic factors such as age, education, residence and sex, play a significant role in allophonic distribution and sociolinguistic variation in Portuguese in Mozambique, taking into account community-based patterns of use. The data used in this study is part of Panorama of Oral Portuguese of Maputo "PPOM - Panorama do Português Oral do Maputo", a linguistic survey comprised of individual interviews and group interviews carried out in 1997 in region of the City of Maputo and its surroundings undertaken by Christopher Stroud and Perpétua Gonçalves (1997).

Full textAbstract:
This study investigates the phonetic and phonological variation in the speech of Fallahi (rural) migrants in the town of Irbid. This variationist investigation focuses on four linguistic variables: (Q), (D), (8) and (d3) across four social variables: social class, gender, education, and age. The spread of non-local urban features in the speech of the Fallahi people living within the same area and having similar kinship, social and cultural backgrounds is the focus of investigation. This kind of analysis considers the competing status of the two extreme levels of the Arabic language continuum. Therefore, it reshuffles the images associated with Standard Arabic as the most prestigious variety in Arabic. Then, it re-examines the underlying role of education as a variable that covers some degree of outside contacts rather than being a direct and independent variable by itself. This claim goes in line with the general diglossic nature of Arabic and its competing prestigious levels. The data obtained from the 72 informants of the current study shows that gender and social class are the most important variables that have significant effect on the use of the non-local prestigious features in Jordan. Within this frame, it appears that women are more innovative than men although their degree of outside contact is surrounded by cultural, social and sometimes religious restrictions. It is also clear that the correlation between the nonlocal variants and social class is very high: the higher the social class the lower the local rural features. This will add a lot to the general locus of innovation that stems from the younger female informants at the higher-class level. This kind of variation gives space for the role of 'identity' as a pressure that forces especiaIIy the men to use the local indigenous features. In addition to that, it traces the domains of Standard Arabic to show that it is domain-restricted rather than being used spontaneously in different social contexts. To examine the nature of the standard linguistic variants that are also used in one of the dialects in Jordan, a lexico-phonological test is suggested. This test comes as an indicator of whether these variants are used in their standard or colloquial capacity.

C'est dans l'interaction sociale, lieu d'occurrence premier du langage parlé (Local, 2003) que la parole est apprise, qu'elle est produite quotidiennement et qu'elle évolue. De nouvelles approches interdisciplinaires de l'étude de la parole, notamment la sociophonétique ou les récents développements de l'interaction conversationnelle, ouvrent de nouvelles perspectives dans la modélisation du traitement de la parole. Une question centrale à cette entreprise est la caractérisation des représentations mentales associées aux sons de la parole. Pour traiter cette question, nous utilisons l'approche exemplariste du traitement de la parole, qui propose que les sons de la parole sont mémorisés en incorporant des informations contextuelles détaillées. Nous présentons une nouvelle tâche interactionnelle, GMUP (pour "Group ’em up"), destinée à recueillir les réalisations de matériel phonologique finement contrôlé produit par deux interactants dans un cadre expérimental écologiquement valide. Les variables phonologiques décrivent les différences existant entre deux variétés de français parlé, le français standard et le français méridional. Des outils de reconnaissance automatique de la parole ont été développés pour évaluer la convergence phonétique, observable de l'évolution des représentations mentales, à deux niveaux de granularité : au niveau catégoriel de la variable phonologique et au niveau plus fin, subphonémique. L’emploi de mesures acoustiques détaillées à grande échelle permet de caractériser finement les différences inter-individuelles dans l'évolution de la forme des réalisations acoustiques associées aux représentations mentales en interaction conversationnelleIt is in social interaction, the primary site of the occurrence of spoken language (Local, 2003) that speech is learned, that it is produced everyday and that it evolves. New interdisciplinary approaches to the study of speech, particularly in sociophonetics and in recent developments in conversational interaction, open new avenues for modeling speech processing. A central question in this enterprise relates to the caracterization of the mental representations of speech sounds. We address this question using the exemplarist approach of speech processing, which proposes that speech sounds are stored in memory along with detailed contextual information. We present a new interactional task, GMUP (which stands for "Group ’em up"), designed to collect realizations of highly-controlled phonological material produced by two interactants in an ecologically valid experimental setting. The phonological variables describe differences between two varieties of spoken French, Northern French and Southern French. Automatic speech recognition tools were developed to evaluate phonetic convergence, an observable of the evolution of the mental representations of speech, at two levels of granularity: at the categorical level of the phonological variable and at a more fine-grained, subphonemic level. The use of large-scale detailed acoustic measures allows us to finely caracterize interindividual differences in the evolution of the acoustic realizations associated with the mental representations of speech in conversational interaction

Esta tese objetiva analisar o desvozeamento variável das plosivas bilabial, alveolar e velar (abacaxi~apacaxi, dela~tela e Glória~Clória) do português brasileiro em contato com o hunsrückisch, língua de imigração alemã. A variedade de português investigada é a falada em Glória, comunidade da zona rural do município de Estrela, Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil. O status social da variável em estudo é estereotipado e as atitudes linguísticas são analisadas em relação ao desvozeamento das plosivas. Investiga-se, portanto, a relação entre o processo variável e as atitudes linguísticas dos falantes para com o português brasileiro local e com a língua de imigração. O estudo orienta-se pela Sociolinguística Variacionista (LABOV, 2008 [1972]) e pelo estudo de atitudes linguísticas (TRIANDIS, 1974; FASOLD, 1996; KAUFMANN, 1997; 2011; GILES e BILLINGS, 2004; GARRET, 2005; VANDERMEEREN, 2005; LABOV, 2010). Para a análise de regra variável, foram levantados contextos de desvozeamento de vinte e quatro entrevistas sociolinguísticas de informantes de Glória. Os dados foram submetidos à análise estatística pelo pacote computacional VARBRUL, versão GoldVarb X, para verificar os fatores linguísticos e extralinguísticos que condicionam o desvozeamento variável das plosivas. Constatou-se que a proporção de desvozeamento é baixa, 2,6%. Os informantes do gênero feminino, com menor grau de escolarização, ensino fundamental, e com mais de 47 anos condicionam o processo. As palavras com maior número de sílabas, contexto precedente vazio e o contexto seguinte alveolar, sílabas pretônica e tônica favorecem o desvozeamento das plosivas. Para o estudo de atitudes linguísticas, foi realizada uma pesquisa qualitativa mediante a aplicação do questionário “As atitudes linguísticas no português brasileiro em contato com o hunsrückisch”, adaptado de Kaufmann (1997; 2011). Posteriormente, os dados levantados com o questionário foram submetidos a tratamento estatístico pelo software IBM SPSS, versão 22.0. Verificou-se que os núcleos familiares, compostos por avós, pais, irmãos, tios e tias, influenciam as práticas sociais, linguísticas e culturais na comunidade de Glória, principalmente a figura feminina, a mãe, (geração mais velha) que tem responsabilidade na formação e preservação cultural nas antigas áreas de imigração europeia no sul do Brasil e também pela função social que exerce em casa, na educação inicial dos filhos. Os informantes mais jovens realizam mais atividades de trabalho, diversão e lazer do que seus pais, usando o português como língua de interação. Tais atividades influenciam as atitudes dos falantes em relação à preferência a usar português em lugar do hunsrückisch. Os resultados evidenciam que a escolaridade também contribui para as atitudes, com práticas linguísticas em português brasileiro local no ambiente escolar: os falantes orientam-se à cultura brasileira e à fala em português brasileiro local e buscam fugir ao estereótipo do desvozeamento das plosivas.This thesis aims at analyzing the variable devoicing of bilabial, alveolar and velar plosives (abacaxi~apacaxi, dela~tela e Glória~Clória) in Brazilian Portuguese in contact with hunsrückisch, German immigration language. The Portuguese variety under investigation is the one spoken in Glória, a rural area community in the town of Estrela, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The social status of the variable in study is stereotyped and the linguistic attitudes are analyzed in relation to the devoicing of the plosives. It investigated, therefore, the relation between the variable process and the speakers’ linguistic attitudes towards local Brazilian Portuguese and the immigration language. The study is oriented by Variationist Sociolinguistics (LABOV, 2008 [1972]) and by linguistic attitude studies (TRIANDIS, 1974; FASOLD, 1996; KAUFMANN, 1997; 2011; GILES e BILLINGS, 2004; GARRET, 2005; VANDERMEEREN, 2005; LABOV, 2010). For analyzing the variable rule, devoicing contexts, present in twenty-four sociolinguistic interviews with informants from Glória, were gathered. The data were submitted to statistical analysis by the computational package VARBRUL, version GoldVarb X, in order to verify the linguistic and extra-linguistic factors that condition the variable devoicing of plosives. It was determined that the devoicing proportion is low, 2.6%. The female gender informants, with the lowest scholarization degree, middle school, and older than 47 years old condition the process. The words with a bigger number of syllables, empty precedent context and alveolar posterior context, pre-tonic and tonic syllables favor the plosives devoicing. For the study of linguistic attitudes, a qualitative research was carried out, through the application of the questionnaire “As atitudes linguísticas no português brasileiro em contato com o hunsrückisch”, adapted from Kaufmann (1997; 2011). After that, the data collected through the questionnaire were submitted to statistical treatment by the software IBM SPSS, version 22.0. It was possible to verify that family cores, composed by grandparents, parents, siblings, uncles and aunts, influence the social, linguistic and cultural practices in the community of Glória, specially the female figure, the mother, (older generation) which holds responsibility in cultural formation and maintenance in old European immigration areas in the south of Brazil and also in the social function exerted at home, in the initial education of the children. The younger informants perform more activities related to work, entertainment and leisure than their parents, using the Portuguese as interaction language. Such activities influence the speakers’ attitudes towards the preference for using Portuguese over hunsrückisch. The results show that scholarization also contributes for the attitudes, with linguistic practices in local Brazilian Portuguese in the school environment: the speakers orient themselves towards the Brazilian culture and the speech in local Brazilian Portuguese, and seek to scape from the stereotype of plosives devoicing.

The main goal of this study was to provide to the researcher the opportunity to reflect his practice through didactic-pedagogical workshops applied to 15 students of Cycle I of Adult Education of a public school in João Pessoa. Focused on the textual genre List, it contains didactic strategies to work on the variation of the final postonic vowels /e/ and /o/ present in the speech and its reflection in writing, especially those that are in the process of language acquisition. This variation was selected for the accomplishment of this study, after the observation that its transposition to writing is quite common. The didactic workshops were elaborated respecting the oral variant of the student, but with the purpose of expanding his knowledge to the appropriate form of writing. Thus, to work on the phenomenon of the variant in question, it became necessary to know sociolinguistics and linguistic variations, especially the phonological-phonetic ones. In this sense, we try to lead the students to the understanding that the average vowels /e/ and /o/ are usually pronounced [i] and [u] in unstressed, pretonic, postonic syllables (BORTONI-RICARDO, 2004, p.80), and, specifically, to discuss the variation of the final postonics, as in bolo bol[u] and doce doc[i], quite productive in brazilian portuguese. Not being stigmatized, this process ends up being spoken by people of different social classes and levels of literacy, but the same does not happen in writing, since it is a modality of the language that requires adaptation to the orthographic pattern. The results of the research showed that the students who received the intervention performed the monitoring in a more conscious way, while the students who did not receive the same type of intervention did the monitoring in a few words, performing significantly the transposition of the variation, present in speech, for writing. In this direction, the role of the teacher is extremely important to create situations and strategies of intervention that help students to understand that certain variants used in orality are not suitable for writing.
O objetivo deste trabalho foi possibilitar ao pesquisador investigador a oportunidade de refletir sua prática, por meio de oficinas didático-pedagógicas aplicadas a 15 alunos do Ciclo I da Educação de Jovens de Adultos de uma escola pública do município de João Pessoa. Centrado no gênero textual lista, contém estratégias didáticas para trabalhar a variação das vogais postônicas finais /e/ e /o/ tão presente na fala e o seu reflexo na escrita, principalmente daqueles que estão em processo de aquisição. Essa variação foi selecionada para realização deste estudo, após a observação de ser bastante comum sua transposição para a escrita. O conjunto de oficinas didáticas foi elaborado respeitando a variante oral do aluno, mas com o propósito de ampliar seu conhecimento à forma apropriada à escrita. Sendo assim, para trabalhar o fenômeno da variante em questão, fez-se necessário conhecer a sociolinguística e as variações linguísticas, principalmente as fonético-fonológicas. Neste sentido, buscamos levar os discentes à compreensão de que as vogais médias /e/ e /o/ são geralmente pronunciadas [i] e [u] em sílabas átonas, pretônicas, postônicas (BORTONI-RICARDO, 2004, p.80), e, em específico, discutir a variação das postônicas finais, como em bolo bol[u] e em doce doc[i], bastante produtivo no português brasileiro. Por não ser estigmatizado, esse processo acaba sendo falado por pessoas de diferentes classes sociais e níveis de letramento, porém o mesmo não acontece na escrita, já que é uma modalidade da língua que exige adequação ao padrão ortográfico. Os resultados da pesquisa mostraram que os alunos que receberam a intervenção realizaram a monitoração de forma mais consciente, enquanto que os alunos que não receberam o mesmo tipo de intervenção fizeram a monitoração em poucas palavras, realizando significativamente a transposição da variação, presente na fala, para a escrita. Nessa direção, o papel do professor é extremamente importante para criar situações e estratégias de intervenção que auxiliem os alunos a compreender que certas variantes usadas na oralidade não são adequadas à escrita.

The variation in the realization of phonemes /t/ and /d/ has been the subject of several studies in Brazilian Portuguese HORA, 1990; ABAURRE; PAGOTTO, 2002; PAULA, 2006; BATTISTI et al, 2007; PIRES, 2007; DUTRA, 2007; MATTÉ, 2009; SOUZA NETO, 2014, among others), that signal to diatopic conditioning phenomenon. This work aims to contribute to the description of the variety of speech of Sergipe. considering phonetic-phonological aspects of three language communities of the state of Sergipe. Therefore, let us take as an object of study the variation of the consonants /t/ and /d/ before the high front vowel not rounded /i/, which are produced as palate-alveolar affricates (/t/ e /d/) as [‘tia], [‘dent], [ci’dad], [i’dad] produced by informants of Aracaju, Itabaiana and lizard. For this study, 60 were taken sociolinguistic interviews of university's of Falares Sergipanos. The research builds on the Theory of Sociolinguistics variationist (LABOV, [1972]; 2008), and the Usage-Based Phonology (Bybee, 2001). ). For Labov, the language is assumed heterogeneous, conditional upon restrictions with regard to the linguistic context and social context. According to the Usage-Based Phonology, sound changes are phonetically and lexically gradual. The in-memory representation of individuals is affected by the tokens; the language goes through several reorganizations and changes according to the experiences and use. In the refers the process of varying the palatalization, that undergoes adjustments of phonetic properties and articulatory gestures. As results, the statistical selection referring to linguistic and extralinguistic variables in the order of relevance in conditioning was: Geographical Group, Context Phonological Precedent; Sex / Gender; Interviewer; sonority; and Position of Syllable Tonic. The geographic group is that most favors the palatalization of alveolar stops: Aracaju and Itabaiana were the most favored palatalization, which shows the variation diatopic. The consonant sibilant is the factor of the antecedent phonological context that most favors the palatalization of alveolar plosives consonant. As for the Sex / Gender, women palatalizaram more often than men, whereas women tend to use the prestige variant, it is possible to infer that women are leading change. The variable interviewer, this does not favor the trigger effect once the interviewer not palatalizam appear more enhancers of palatalization. And as the variable sound, the deaf factor was the most motivated palatalization in geographical groups analyzed. In both wheels this factor was more motivating for palatalization. And the position of the stressed syllable, expressed more favorable application of the palatalization of dental plosives not end postonic and pretonic. Data from the acoustic analysis revealed the existence of gradients between the production of the full form and the innovative pattern, suggesting a change in progress.A variação na realização dos fonemas /t/ e /d/ tem sido objeto de diversos estudos no português brasileiro (HORA, 1990; ABAURRE; PAGOTTO, 2002; PAULA, 2006; BATTISTI et al, 2007; PIRES, 2007; DUTRA, 2007; MATTÉ, 2009; SOUZA NETO, 2014, dentre outros), que sinalizam para o condicionamento diatópico do fenômeno. O presente trabalho tem por objetivo contribuir para a descrição da variedade do falar sergipano, considerando aspectos fonético-fonológicos de três comunidades linguísticas do estado de Sergipe. Para tanto, tomamos como objeto de estudo a variação das consoantes /t/ e /d/ diante da vogal alta anterior não arredondada /i/, onde são produzidas como africadas palato-alveolares (/t/ e /d/) como [‘tia], [‘dent], [ci’dad], [i’dad] produzidas por informantes de Aracaju, Itabaiana e Lagarto. Para esse estudo, foram tomadas 60 entrevistas sociolinguísticas de universitários do banco de dados Falares Sergipanos, estratificadas quanto ao sexo/gênero e localidade. A pesquisa toma como base a Teoria da Sociolinguística Variacionista (LABOV, [1972]; 2008) e a Teoria de Uso (BYBEE, 2001). Para Labov, a língua é assumida como heterogênea, condicionada a restrições no que se refere ao contexto linguístico e social. Segundo a Fonologia de Uso, as mudanças sonoras são fonética e lexicamente graduais. A representação na memória dos indivíduos é afetada pelos tokens, a língua passa por diversas reestruturações, e muda de acordo com as experiências e com o uso. No que remete o processo de variação da palatalização, essa passa por ajustes fonéticos de propriedades e gestos articulatórios. Como resultados, a seleção estatística referente às variáveis linguísticas e extralinguísticas, por ordem de relevância no condicionamento foi a: Grupo geográfico, Contexto Fonológico Precedente; Sexo/Gênero; Entrevistador; Sonoridade; e Posição da Sílaba Tônica. O grupo geográfico é o que mais favorece a palatalização de oclusivas alveolares: Aracaju e Itabaiana foram os que mais favoreceram a palatalização, o que evidencia a variação diatópica. A consoante sibilante é o fator do contexto fonológico antecedente que mais favorece a palatalização das oclusivas alveolares. Quanto ao Sexo/Gênero, as mulheres palatalizaram com mais frequência que os homens, considerando que mulheres tendem a usar a variante de prestígio, é possível inferir que as mulheres estão conduzindo a mudança. Em relação à variável entrevistador, esse não favorece o efeito gatilho uma vez que os entrevistadores que não palatalizam aparecem mais favorecedores da palatalização. E quanto à variável sonoridade, o fator surdo foi o que mais motivou a palatalização nos grupos geográficos analisados. Em ambas as rodas tal fator mostrou-se mais motivador para a palatalização. E a posição da sílaba tônica, manifestaram mais favoráveis a aplicação da palatalização das oclusivas dentais a postônica não final e a pretônica. Os dados da análise acústica revelam a existência de gradientes entre a produção entre a forma plena e o padrão inovador, o que sugere uma mudança em progresso.

Full textAbstract:
This monograph presents a thorough investigation of the main historical and present-day variation and change patterns undergone by palatal sounds in the Romance languages. By relying on phonetic and phonological information to motivate a formal account of palatal sound change, the analyses proposed in this book offer a principled, constraint-based explanation for the evolution of palatals in the Romance-speaking world. It provides a robust and up-to-date literature review on the subject, taking into consideration not only the viewpoints and data from diachronic research, but also the results from various phonetic, phonological, dialectal, and comprehensive studies. By taking into account the role of phonetic information in the shaping of phonological patterns, this book approaches sound change from its inception during the speaker-listener interaction and formalizes it as the difference in constraint ranking between the grammar of the speaker and that of the listener-turned-speaker. This perspective is intended to model how and why similar change events may take place in different varieties and/or the same language across periods of time.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter describes the phonetics, phonology, and the orthographic practices of Old Spanish. It first identifies the vocalic and consonantal phonemes of the medieval language. The following sections describe specific phonetic and phonological issues such as possible allophonic variation between stressed and unstressed vowels, apocope of word-final /-e/, the formation and evolution of new and unfamiliar consonant clusters in the medieval language through vowel syncope, word-final consonant groups resulting from vowel apocope, the phonetic nature of word-initial /f-/, the nature of affricate consonants, and the possible first manifestations in the late medieval language of seseo and yeísmo. The chapter concludes with an overview of the wide orthographic variation in the earliest texts and the attempt to regularize to some degree spelling practices starting in the mid-thirteenth century.

Full textAbstract:
Phonology is the study of systematic patterning in the distribution and realization of speech sounds within and across language varieties. Arabic phonology features heavily in the work of the Arab grammarians, most notably in the Kitaab of Sibawayh. Sibawayh provides phonetic descriptions of the articulation of individual speech sounds, which are accompanied by an analysis of the patterning of sounds in Arabic, which is indisputably phonological in nature. This article sets out five important strands of phonological research on Arabic, taking in work on the language-particular phonological properties of Arabic as well as research that exploits fine-grained variation among spoken varieties of Arabic for theoretical gain. The discussion is structured to move from segmental phonology (the properties of individual speech sounds) to suprasegmental phonology (the properties of larger domains such as the syllable, word, or phrase).

Full textAbstract:
This volume compares two very different approaches to modeling speech planning: Articulatory Phonology, with quantitative phonological representations and a set of phonology-intrinsic timing mechanisms, and XT/3C, an alternative model with non-quantitative symbolic phonological representations and general-purpose phonology-extrinsic timing mechanisms. It argues that the motor-control literature for both speech and non-speech supports the XT/3C approach, which expands on earlier models based on Generative Phonology to include a Phonological Planning Component to set the symbolic goals for an utterance, a separate Phonetic Planning Component to provide the quantitative target specifications for the utterance, and a Motor-Sensory Implementation Component to track and adjust the movements required to reach those targets on time. It preserves the insights of a symbol-based phonology, while also providing a comprehensive account of systematic phonetic variation, including timing.

Full textAbstract:
The chapter takes the reader from the concrete phonetic descriptions of sounds, found in Chapters 11 and 12, to the use of these sounds in English. As in every language, sounds are influenced by their context. A large part of phonological description of a language is an effort to describe how the “same” sound is pronounced differently in different contexts, both phonetic and morphological. The chapter provides the phonemes of English, which are the distinctive units of sound, and examples of how they vary in context. It also illustrates the variation of English morphemes in context, by providing examples of allomorphy. Some implications of variation in context for teaching English are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
This study examines the sibilant fricatives produced by seventeen Galician and twenty-two Portuguese speakers. Galician and Portuguese are closely related languages that present important continuities, although it is in their phonological and phonetic systems that they diverge most obviously. By means of the analysis of spectra and spectral moments, chiefly the spectral mean, postalveolar sibilants and front (alveolar or alveolo-dental) sibilants are differentiated in both Galician and Portuguese. Much variation has been found in front sibilant realizations among speakers and even between different realizations by the same speaker. This variation is especially striking among male Galician speakers, where it was possible to distinguish three different articulations, identified here as an apico-aveolar [s̺], a lamino-alveolar [s], and a lamino-dental [s̪] sibilant. The research results point to a loss of phonetic diversity on the Portuguese side of the political border, while in Galicia it is better preserved, although it is losing ground.
