Abstract:
This study examines individual differences in producing the sibilant contrast in American English and the relation of those differences to 2 speaker characteristics: (a) use of a quantal biomechanical effect (called a "saturation effect") in producing the sibilants and (b) performance on a test of sibilant discrimination. Twenty participants produced the sibilants /s/ and /∫/ in normal-, clear-, and fast-speaking conditions. The degree to which the participants used a saturation effect in producing /s/ and /∫/ was assessed with a custom-made sensor that measured contact of the underside of the tongue tip with the lower alveolar ridge; such contact normally occurs during the production of /s/ but not /∫/. The acuteness of the participants' discrimination of the sibilant contrast was measured using the ABX paradigm and synthesized sibilants. Differences among speakers in the degree of acoustic contrast between /s/ and /∫/ that they produced proved related to differences among them in their use of contact contrastively and in their discriminative performance. The most distinct sibilant productions were obtained from participants who used contact in producing /s/ but not /∫/ and who had high discrimination scores. The participants who did not use contact differentially when producing the 2 sibilants and who also discriminated the synthetic sibilants less well produced the least distinct sibilant contrasts. Intermediate degrees of sibilant contrast were found with participants who used contact differentially or discriminated well. These findings are compatible with a model of speech motor planning in which goals for phonemic speech movements are in somatosensory and auditory spaces.

Abstract:
The natural tendency for language variation, intensified by Spanish’s territorial growth, has driven sibilant changes and mergers across the Spanish-speaking world. This article aims to present an overview of the most significant processes undergone by sibilant /s/ in various Spanish-speaking areas: devoicing, weakening, aspiration, elision, and voicing. Geographically based phonetic variations, sociolinguistic factors, and Spanish language contact situations are considered in this study. The sibilant merger and its chronological development in modern Spanish, along with geographic expansion, have resulted in multiple contemporary dialectal variations. This historical lack of stability in these sounds has marked modern regional variations. Tracing and framing the sibilants’ geo-linguistic features has received much attention from scholars, resulting in sibilants being one of the most studied variables in Spanish phonetics. In this article, we provide a concise approach that offers the reader an updated sociolinguistic view of the modern cross-dialectal realizations of /s/. It is essential to study sibilant development to describe Spanish dialects, the differences between Transatlantic and Castilian varieties, and the speech features found in Spanish speaking communities in the Americas. Examining sibilance from different approaches with a representative variety of Spanish dialects as examples advances the importance of sociolinguistic phenomena to index language changes.

Abstract:
Purpose This study investigated vowel and sibilant productions in noise to determine whether responses to noise (a) are sensitive to the spectral characteristics of the noise signal and (b) are modulated by the contribution of vowel or sibilant contrasts to word discrimination. Method Vowel and sibilant productions were elicited during serial recall of three-word sequences that were produced in quiet or during exposure to speaker-specific noise signals. These signals either masked a speaker's productions of the sibilants /s/ and /ʃ/ or their productions of the vowels /a/ and /æ/. The contribution of the vowel and sibilant contrasts to word discrimination in a sequence was manipulated by varying the number of times that the target sibilant and vowel pairs occurred in the same word position in each sequence. Results Spectral noise effects were observed for both sibilants and vowels: Responses to noise were larger and/or involved to more acoustic features when the noise signal masked the acoustic characteristics of that phoneme class. Word discrimination effects were limited and consisted of only small increases in vowel duration. Interaction effects between noise and similarity indicated that the phonological similarity of sequences containing both sibilants and/or both vowels influenced articulation in ways not related to speech clarity. Conclusion The findings of this study indicate that sensorimotor control of speech exhibits some sensitivity to noise spectral characteristics. However, productions of sibilants and vowels were not sensitive to their importance in discriminating the words in a sequence. In addition, phonological similarity effects were observed that likely reflected processing demands related to the recall and sequencing of high-similarity words.

Abstract:
In this artiele I reanalyze sibilant inventories of Slavic languages by taking into consideration acoustic. perceptive and phonological evidence. The main goal of this study is to show that perception is an important factor which determines the shape of sibilant inventories. The improvement of perceptual contrast essentially contributes to creating new sibilant inventories by (i) changing the place of articulation of the existing phonemes (ii) merging sibilants that are perceptually very close or (iii) deleting them. It has also been shown that the symbol s traditionally used in Slavic linguistics corresponds to two sounds in the IP A system: it stands for a postalveolar sibilant (ʃ) in some Slavic languages, as e.g. Bulagarian, Czech, Slovak, some Serbian and Croatian dialects, whereas in others like Polish, Russian, Lower Sorbian it functions as a retroflex (ʂ). This discrepancy is motivated by the fact that ʃ is not optimal in terms of maintaining sufficient perceptual contrast to other sibilants such as s and ɕ. If ʃ occurs together with s (and sʲ) there is a considerable perceptual distance between them but if it occurs with ɕ in an inventory, the distance is much smaller. Therefore, the strategy most languages follow is the change from a postalveolar to a retroflex sibilant.

Abstract:
Abstract Cross-linguistically, fricatives are the rarest types of rhotics, found in a few African and European languages (Ladefoged & Maddieson 1996) and as allophones in some Romance languages (Jesus & Shadle 2005; Recasens 2002; Bradley 2006; Colantoni 2006). Acoustic data from Nusu, phonotactic reasoning, and a cognate comparison demonstrate the presence of alveolar fricative rhotics in Tibeto-Burman. The Nusu rhotic appears in syllable-initial position as the first or second consonant and can be realized as alveolar approximants [ɹ] or [ɹʲ], non-sibilant voiced and voiceless fricatives [ɹ̝, ɹ̥], as well as voiced sibilant [ʐ]. In other studies on Nusu, these fricative rhotics have sometimes been reported as retroflex voiced sibilants (Sun & Lu 1986; Fu 1991), but intra-speaker and cross-variety comparison point to classification as rhotics. Evidence from other Tibeto-Burman languages suggests that alveolar fricative rhotics are not limited to Nusu. Together these data challenge the tradition of generally interpreting alveolar fricatives as sibilants.

Full text
Abstract:
The devoicing of sibilants took place in Early Modern Spanish, a phenomenon which has been considered problematic to account for due to its occurrence context (medial intervocalic position). Traditional explanations invoked Basque influence or a structural reorganization in search for a more balanced system. However, phonetically based reasons were proposed by some scholars. This research is a preliminary attempt to support these proposals with experimental data from a comparative grammar perspective. The Catalan sibilant system, which is very similar to the Medieval Spanish one, is acoustically and perceptively studied in order to investigate the acoustic cues of voicing and to determine if devoicing is possible. Results indicate that (a) voicing relies mainly in the proportion of unvoiced frames of the segments, on its duration, and, to a lesser extent, on its intensity; (b) sibilant devoicing occurs in all voiced categories; (c) auditorily, confusion between voiced and voiceless segments can be attested for every sibilant pair, and (d) the misparsings are more common in affricate and in palatal sibilants, [d͡ʒ] being the most prone to be labelled as unvoiced. These findings prove that the historical process in Spanish could have a phonetic basis.

Abstract:
We analyze sibilant harmony in the Santiago Atitlán dialect of Tz’utujil (Mayan), a phenomenon that was briefly described by Dayley (1985). Novel data show that the obligatory harmony process (i) is asymmetrical (triggered only by [+ant] sibilants), (ii) progressive, and (iii) applies long-distance. Furthermore, we argue that the process is not stem-controlled. In contextualizing the phenomenon within the typology of sibilant harmony (Hansson 2010), we conclude that it is unique. Finally, we suggest that Santiago Tz’utujil sibilant harmony has been stable diachronically because the target segment /ʃ/ is always in the stressed syllable, thus being salient in the input during acquisition.

Abstract:
AbstractThe ability to take contextual information into account is essential for successful speech processing. This study examines individuals with high-functioning autism and those without in terms of how they adjust their perceptual expectation while discriminating speech sounds in different phonological contexts. Listeners were asked to discriminate pairs of sibilant-vowel monosyllables. Typically, discriminability of sibilants increases when the sibilants are embedded in perceptually enhancing contexts (if the appropriate context-specific perceptual adjustment were performed) and decreases in perceptually diminishing contexts. This study found a reduction in the differences in perceptual response across enhancing and diminishing contexts among high-functioning autistic individuals relative to the neurotypical controls. The reduction in perceptual expectation adjustment is consistent with an increase in autonomy in low-level perceptual processing in autism and a reduction in the influence of top-down information from surrounding information.

Full text
Abstract:
Sibilant harmony in Nkore-Kiga is an interesting problem case for agreement-based theories of harmony, particularly Agreement by Correspondence. Previous work reports that anteriority agreement is controlled by the rightmost sibilant in the stem, and also that the quality of a sibilant is allophonically determined by the following vowel. In such a system, it is impossible for surface-oriented agreement constraints to derive strictly right-to-left harmony. However, we show that Nkore-Kiga does not work in quite this way: sibilants are conditioned not allophonically, but by morphology. This allows the facts of this case to be explained within existing Agreement by Correspondence proposals.

Abstract:
The present study investigates the articulatory and acoustic properties of the unique apical segments in Mandarin Chinese that occur after dental and retroflex sibilants instead of the high front vowel [i]. An ultrasound study showed that the segments are homorganic with the preceding dental and retroflex sibilants. However, an acoustic study showed that they have a periodic waveform and clear formant structures with no inherent frication noise, indicating that they are not ‘voiced fricatives’. The results also suggest that the observed F2 pattern can only be explained with an acoustic model of a sonorant consonant, wherein F2 is attributed to the cavity behind the apical constriction. Based on this, it is argued that the segments can be best seen as ‘dental approximant []’ and ‘retroflex approximant [ɻ]’. A phonological implication of the pattern is also discussed: the co-occurrence restriction with the high front vowel eliminates a potential chance of palatalization of the dental and retroflex sibilants that may lead to neutralization of the place contrast. The tongue front gesture in the following approximants seems to provide an additional cue to the place of the preceding consonants; the low F3 of [ɻ], for example, enhances cues to the place of the preceding retroflex sibilant.

Abstract:
In an attempt to find a satisfactory and comprehensive explanation for the history of the sibilants in Peninsular Spanish, I explore the causal factors that were instrumental in motivating, promoting and diffusing the merger of voiced and voiceless sibilants. An investigation of these factors includes a discussion of language typology and universals, the acoustic qualities of the sibilant fricatives, issues surrounding phonemic mergers and dialect contact and mixing. In addition, I investigate the history of the sibilants, compare and contrast opposing views regarding that history and set forth those issues that have yet to receive a satisfactory explanation. Furthermore, I attempt to determine the geographical and chronological origins and the diffusion of this sound change by an orthographical investigation of several medieval documents and texts. In the final chapter, I tie together theory and data with the aim of giving a satisfactory and comprehensive exposition of the history of the sibilants in Peninsular Spanish. I conclude that the Spanish sibilants behave in keeping with the ideal observations set forth by the language universals examined in this thesis. The language-internal motivations include the ease in the articulation of voiceless sibilants in comparison to the voiced sibilants and the conditions that made the Old Spanish sibilants ripe for merger. Dialect mixing and contact and the weak ties within the social structure of medieval Spain are the language-external motivations that encouraged and promoted the sound merger and diffusion. With regard to the geographical and chronological history of the Spanish sibilants, I conclude that by the mid-thirteenth century, there is evidence of confusion of the /z/ and /s/ and by the end of the thirteenth century, neutralization of voice in the sibilants is widespread in all parts of Iberian Peninsula. There is possible evidence of seseo in Toledo as early as 1330 and in Soria in 1355. Evidence of the merger of [+voice] sibilants and [-voice] sibilants continues to mount throughout the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. In Central Spain, there is strong evidence of seseo in Madrid (1403-06), Peñafiel (1465) and Toledo (1438). and I, therefore, contend that early seseo is not exclusively Andalusian. By the mid-fifteenth century, there is possible evidence of merger of /z/ and /s/ in Southern Spain and by the sixteenth century, there is possible evidence of the merger Of /z/ and /s/ in Northern and Central Spain and possible evidence of zezeo and çeçeo in Southern Spain.

Abstract:
In binyan hitpa'el, the reflexive and reciprocal verbal conjugation in Modern Hebrew, the /t/ of the /hit-/ prefix categorically metathesizes with a following sibilant (/s/, /z/, /∫/, or /t⁀s/), giving forms like [histakel] instead of expected forms like *[hitsakel]. It has been theorized that this metathesis may be perceptual, serving to place the /-t-/ in prevocalic position where it can be better perceived by listeners, the direction of metathesis being the more common sibilant + stop sequence in Modern Hebrew (Hume 2004), or that it may be auditory, based on a tendency for the sibilant noise to decouple from the rest of the speech stream, resulting in listener confusion about the place of the sibilant within the word (Blevins & Garrett 2004). Based on data from a speech perception experiment using English speakers, who listened to masked stimuli similar to hitpa'el verbs, I argue that Blevins & Garrett (2004)'s account is correct, with English speaking listeners evincing a tendency to misperceive stop + sibilant sequences as sibilant + stop sequences, despite the higher frequency of stop + sibilant sequences in English.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis examines phonetic variation of /s/ in bilingual French and German gay and straight men. Previous studies have shown sibilant variation, specifically the voiceless sibilant /s/, to correlate with constructions of gay identity and 'gay sounding voices' in both production and perception. While most of this work concerns English, researchers have also explored /s/ variation and sexual orientation or non-normative masculinity in Afrikaans, Danish, Hungarian, and Spanish. Importantly, with the exception of only a small number of studies, this body of work has largely left the realm of /s/ variation and sexual orientation in bilingual speakers unexplored, and furthermore there is very little work which examines these voices in the context of French and German. The analyses show that some gay French and German men produce /s/ with a higher centre of gravity (CoG) and more negative skew than the straight speakers of the study, a result which dovetails with previous studies in languages such as English. Unlike English however, French and German listeners do not appear to associate /s/ variation with sexual orientation or (non)normative masculinities. I argue that the gay speakers who produce /s/ with a higher CoG than the other speakers of the study are doing so as a way to distance themselves from hegemonic masculinity. This thesis is structured into three stand-alone journal articles bookended with introductory and conclusion chapters which tie them together in the broader picture of /s/ variation and French/German speakers and listeners. The first of the three articles expands upon the previously established linguistic framework of indexing gayness by exploring /s/ variation in native and non-native speech, examining how the linguistic construction of gay identity interacts between their English production and the constraints of their native language. The data draws on read speech of 19 gay and straight French and German men across their L1 and L2 English to explore the social meaning of /s/. Results show that some gay speakers produce /s/ with a higher centre of gravity (CoG) and more negative skew than the straight speakers. These results are consistent with previous findings, which show sibilant variation to index sexual orientation in monolingual gay men's speech, and provide evidence of this feature correlating with sexual orientation in French and German. Furthermore, the results presented here call for a greater level of inquiry into how the gay speakers who employ this feature construct their gay identities beyond a purely gay/straight dichotomy. The second study reports the results of a cross-linguistic matched guise test examining the role of /s/ variation and pitch in judgements of sexual orientation and non-normative masculinity in English, French, and German listeners. Listeners responded to manipulations of /s/ and pitch in their native language and all other stimuli languages (English, French, German, and Estonian). All listener groups rate higher pitch stimuli as more gay and more effeminate sounding than lower pitch guises. However, only the English listeners hear [s+] guises as sounding more gay and more effeminate than the [s] or [s-] guises. This effect is seen not only in their native language, but across all stimuli languages. French and German listeners, despite previous evidence showing /s/ to vary according to sexual orientation in men's speech, do not hear [s+] guises as more gay or more effeminate in any of the stimuli languages including their native French or German. The final of the three articles takes the findings of the first two papers and attempts to reconcile the production/perception mismatch seen when comparing the results of the first two papers. The first article in this thesis revealed two groups of speakers which form the basis for analysis for this paper. The first group is a heterogeneous group of gay and straight speakers whose average /s/ productions are below 7,000 Hz ([s] speakers) and the second is a homogeneous group of gay speakers producing average /s/ CoG above 7,000 Hz ([s+] speakers). The analysis shows style shifting across task type with both groups of speakers producing higher /s/ CoG productions in L1 read speech contexts than any of the L2 speech contexts. Style shifting across conversation topic reveals that the [s+] speakers are producing higher /s/ CoG when discussing their coming out stories and topics of LGBT involvement. I argue that these [s+] speakers are employing these higher frequency /s/ variants to construct a very specific and identifiable gay persona, that of a counter-hegemonic effeminate gay man. This thesis is among the first to examine phonetic qualities of gay bilingual speakers and the ways in which they may index their sexual orientation. The inclusion of bilingual French and German speakers adds to our growing knowledge of ways in which these individuals navigate and construct their identities within both their L1 and, specifically, within an L2. In this regard, this thesis contributes to the growing body of knowledge concerning socioindexicality in L2 production more generally. This work thus speaks to these gaps within the sociolinguistic literature and provides strong evidence that /s/ variation is a valuable resource for some French and German men in the construction of a certain type of gay identity.

L'objectif de cette thèse est de décrire de manière analytique le spectre du bruit de friction en mettant en évidence l'affiliation des pics spectraux aux cavités du conduit vocal, par le biais de la modélisation acoustique et avec l'aide des données IRM de 7 langues [30 locuteurs]. Les résultats sont les suivants : 1. La dispersion des sibilantes dans l'espace articulatoire dépend du système phonologique [contrastes [+/- antérieur], [+/- distribué], ou les deux]. En français [+/- antérieur], 7 locuteurs], la variation inter-individuelle est importante. 2. Cette variation est due à deux variantes articulatoires du /ʃ/ : (a) plutôt apical, comportant une cavité sublinguale, accompagné de protrusion labiale, et semblable au /ʂ/ polonais ; et [b] palatalisé, mettant en œuvre le bombement du dos de la langue, comparable au /ɕ/ polonais. L'équivalence acoustique des deux variantes est démontrée par une simulation acoustique systématique. 3. En polonais, où la différence articulatoire est phonémique, /ʂ/ est caractérisé par un pic ultra-bas [1,5-1,8 kHz], affilié à la cavité antérieure, d'après la simulation acoustique à l'aide de fonction d'aire réelles de deux locuteurs. 4. Les données articulatoires présentent systématiquement une constriction dentale étroite. D'après la modélisation acoustique, la protrusion labiale aurait comme effet d'abaisser la fréquence d'un formant affilié spécifiquement à la cavité labiale. En somme, la présence de deux constrictions étroites linguale et dentale rend possible le contrôle quasi indépendant d'au moins deux résonances. Cette spécificité garantit aux sibilantes un bruit distinctif qui permet d'expliquer la richesse de leurs inventaires

Este estudo tem como objetivo fazer o mapeamento das consoantes fricativas sibilantes nas Cantigas de Santa Maria (CSM). Foram focalizados os grafemas fricativos: , , , , <ç>, e . A análise das consoantes fricativas sibilantes nas CSM partiu da consideração das possibilidades de representação e de variação gráfica para essas consoantes, através da comparação entre os manuscritos originais das cantigas do corpus. Em primeiro lugar, foi feito um mapeamento das ocorrências das consoantes fricativas sibilantes do corpus, levando-se em consideração sua posição na sílaba (se no onset ou na rima), tendo, como objetivo, apresentar o sistema das consoantes fricativas empregado pelos trovadores que compuseram as cantigas religiosas em galego-português. A análise do sistema consonantal do Português Arcaico (PA), especificamente no que concerne às fricativas sibilantes, foi embasada, principalmente, nas teorias fonológicas não lineares, especialmente os modelos de Geometria de Traços (CLEMENTS; HUME, 1995) e, para o Português Brasileiro (PB), Cagliari (1998a). A abordagem inicial dos dados, para estabelecer se há ou não oposição entre os sons representados pelos grafemas focalizados, foi tomada a partir do modelo estruturalista de Pike (1947), segundo a leitura que dele faz Cagliari (2002). O corpus de base, para o PA, foi constituído pelas CSM, que são a maior coleção de poemas religiosos em louvor de Santa Maria compostos em galego-português, mandada compilar por Afonso X (1121-1284), rei de Castela. A justificativa para a escolha de textos poéticos como corpus desta pesquisa deve-se ao fato de que, por meio da análise das rimas encontradas nas CSM, é possível obter pistas satisfatórias sobre a realização fônica de consoantes em momentos passados da língua, dos quais não se têm registros orais.

The analysis of the sibilant fricative consonants in the CSM started from the consideration of the representation and graphic variation possibilities for these consonants, by means of comparison among the original manuscripts of the cantigas contained in the corpus. First, the occurrence of sibilant fricative consonants on the corpus were mapped according to their position in the syllable (whether onset or on the rhyme), with the purpose of presenting the fricative consonant system employed by the troubadours who composed the religious cantigas in Galician-Portuguese. The analysis of the Archaic Portuguese (AP) consonantal system, specifically on what concerns the sibilant fricative consonants, was mainly based on non-linear phonological theories, specially the Feature Geometry models (CLEMENTS; HUME, 1995), and, for Brazilian Portuguese (BP), Cagliari (1998). In order to establish the existence or non-existence of opposition between the sounds represented by the focused graphemes, the initial data approach was employed based on Pike´s (1947) structuralist model, following Cagliari’s (2002) understanding. The base corpus for AP was comprised of the CSM, which are the largest collection of religious poems in praise of Saint Mary, composed in Galician-Portuguese, whose compilation was requested by Afonso X (1121-1284), king of Castile. The reason behind the selection of poetic texts as the corpus of this research lies in the fact that, through the analysis of the rhymes found in the CSM, it is possible to obtain satisfactory clues about the phonetic realization of consonants in past moments of the language, of which no oral records are available. For this research, we chose to work with religious cantigas because ...

Abstract:
A presente dissertação trata da edição semidiplomática de documentos da segunda metade do século XVIII, conservados no Arquivo Histórico Nacional - Rio de Janeiro, à qual se segue um estudo lingüístico sobre o tratamento das sibilantes nesse corpus. O trabalho apresenta dois objetivos gerais: o primeiro, ligado ao objetivo da disciplina Filologia, é a publicação de uma edição fidedigna e confiável de nove documentos que podem constituir fontes tanto para o estudo da história do Brasil quanto para estudos de história da língua, já que a edição realizada preserva os traços lingüísticos dos documentos; o segundo objetivo é verificar o tratamento dado às sibilantes em documentos setecentistas. Na primeira parte do trabalho, apresenta-se o estudo filológico, que contempla a análise codicológica e a análise paleográfica dos manuscritos. A análise codicológica descreve para cada documento: o suporte material utilizado, com a informação da marca, linhas d\'água e filigranas; sua composição, com a quantidade e dimensões dos fólios, bem como a forma de estruturação dos cadernos; a organização da página, com as dimensões das manchas, número de linhas, forma de numeração e localização de reclames; a informação de data, lugar de origem, particularidades e conteúdo. A análise paleográfica estuda a variação grafemática encontrada nos documentos e define os critérios para o estabelecimento dos grafemas utilizados para representar as sibilantes. Ao final da primeira parte, apresenta-se a edição semidiplomática dos manuscritos, acompanhada do fac-símile. A segunda parte do trabalho apresenta a metodologia de levantamento das sibilantes no corpus; um estudo sobre a história dos fonemas sibilantes desde o início da língua portuguesa até o surgimento da primeira norma oficial, em 1911; a norma preconizada pelos ortógrafos de Setecentos; a discussão sobre a existência ou não de uma norma gráfica em Portugal no século XVIII e a análise dos dados encontrados no corpus. Verifica-se que os grafemas ç e z são preferidos pelos autores dos documentos para representar, respectivamente, a sibilante surda e a sibilante sonora. Tal dado parece se relacionar à redução do quadro de quatro sibilantes a apenas duas no português padrão, já que tais grafemas eram utilizados justamente para representar as consoantes sibilantes pré-dorsais, que permaneceram na língua padrão. Comprova-se que a dificuldade dos ortógrafos em elaborar norma para o uso de s e z está de acordo com a confusão entre esses grafemas observada nos manuscritos. Duas importantes conclusões referem-se à primeira parte do trabalho. A primeira é que não se pode elaborar uma edição fidedigna e confiável prescindindo de um estudo filológico, que contemple as análises codicológica e paleográfica. A segunda, ligada à paleografia, demonstra que a determinação de um grafema não depende somente da morfologia da letra, que, comparada a outras ocorrências dentro do mesmo punho, revelará a melhor leitura, mas depende também do estudo das ocorrências em contextos específicos de posicionamento silábico.
The present dissertation treats of the semidiplomatic edition of documents dated from the second half of the 18th century and conserved at the Arquivo Histórico Nacional - Rio de Janeiro and it proposes a study of the sibilant treatment in this corpus. The paper has two general objectives: the first, related to the purpose of Philology as a discipline, which is the publishing of a faithful and reliable edition of the set of nine documents that constitute a source for the study of Brazilian history as well as for the study of the history of the language, once the presented edition preservs the linguistic traces of the documents. The second objective is to study the treatment given to the sibilant in 18th century documents. In the first part, it is presented a philological study which comprehends a codicological and a paleographical analysis of the manuscripts. The codicological analysis describes for each set of documents: the employed support, with information about the brand, waterlines and filigrees; its composition with the quantity and dimensions of the folio, as well as its structure; the page organization, with the number of lines, ways of numbering and localization of the catchwords; date, place of origin, particularities and contents. The paleographical analysis refers to the study of the graphematic variation found in the documents and the criteria for the establishment of the graphema used to represent the sibilants. At the end of the first part, it is presented the semidiplomatic edition of the manuscripts, followed by the fac-simile. In the second part of this work it is presented the methodology for the sibilant surveying in the corpus, a study of the sibilant phonemes since the origin of the Portuguese Language until the first official norm which came out in 1911; the norm proclaimed by the orthographers of that century; the discussion about the existence of an official ortographical rule in Portugal in the 18th century and the corpus data analysis. It is noticed that the graphemes ç e z are preferred by the authors to represent, respectively the voiceless sibilant and the voiced sibilant. Such fact seems to be related to the reduction of the four sibilants into only two in the standard Portuguese, since such graphemes were used to represent the predorsals sibilant consonants, which remained in the standard language. It is proved that the difficulty of the orthographers elaborating a rule for the use of s and z is in accordance to the confusion between these graphemes observed in the manuscripts.Two important conclusions can be related to the first part of this dissertation. The first one is that it\'s not possible to elaborate a faithful and reliable edition leaving aside a philological study which fullfill both codicological and paleographical analyses. The second, related to the paleography, demonstrates that the determination of a grapheme doesn\'t depend only on the morphology of the letter, which compared to other occurrences inside the same handwriting, will reveal the best reading, but it also depends on the study of the occurrences in specific contexts of silabic position.

Resumo: Este estudo tem como objetivo fazer o mapeamento das consoantes fricativas sibilantes nas Cantigas de Santa Maria (CSM). Foram focalizados os grafemas fricativos: , , , , <ç>, e . A análise das consoantes fricativas sibilantes nas CSM partiu da consideração das possibilidades de representação e de variação gráfica para essas consoantes, através da comparação entre os manuscritos originais das cantigas do corpus. Em primeiro lugar, foi feito um mapeamento das ocorrências das consoantes fricativas sibilantes do corpus, levando-se em consideração sua posição na sílaba (se no onset ou na rima), tendo, como objetivo, apresentar o sistema das consoantes fricativas empregado pelos trovadores que compuseram as cantigas religiosas em galego-português. A análise do sistema consonantal do Português Arcaico (PA), especificamente no que concerne às fricativas sibilantes, foi embasada, principalmente, nas teorias fonológicas não lineares, especialmente os modelos de Geometria de Traços (CLEMENTS; HUME, 1995) e, para o Português Brasileiro (PB), Cagliari (1998a). A abordagem inicial dos dados, para estabelecer se há ou não oposição entre os sons representados pelos grafemas focalizados, foi tomada a partir do modelo estruturalista de Pike (1947), segundo a leitura que dele faz Cagliari (2002). O corpus de base, para o PA, foi constituído pelas CSM, que são a maior coleção de poemas religiosos em louvor de Santa Maria compostos em galego-português, mandada compilar por Afonso X (1121-1284), rei de Castela. A justificativa para a escolha de textos poéticos como corpus desta pesquisa deve-se ao fato de que, por meio da análise das rimas encontradas nas CSM, é possível obter pistas satisfatórias sobre a realização fônica de consoantes em momentos passados da língua, dos quais não se têm registros orais. Nesta pesquisa, optou-se por trabalhar com as cantigas religiosas porque estudos revelam que as ...
