Abstract:

Trisyllabic shortening or TSS is one of the most controversial processes in the history of English. Time after time, claims have been made about quantity variations, attributing them either to trisyllabic shortening, closed syllable shortening, or other mechanisms. Our examination of the nature of TSS in the history of English leads us to conclude that it differs from closed syllable shortening, which is syllable based, and that the preference for a maximal foot has remained the underlying incentive for maintaining vowel quantity variations throughout the centuries. However, the prosodic system has undergone dramatic changes and many features of TSS in the older and modern stages are not the same. Older TSS affected mostly inflected native words, while in Modern English, TSS causes alternations in derivationally related words with Romance suffixes. Interacting with open syllable lengthening, older TSS led to quantity alternations in inflectional paradigms which were later levelled out. Romance loans, both suffixed and nonsuffixed forms, were borrowed in their entirety and constrained by the prosodic structure of the language. Only later, when these words came to be derivationally related, were quantity alternations observable with TSS operating as a constraint dictated by the prosodic structure of the modern language. Thus, throughout the history of English, TSS has served the same purpose: it led to the preferred prosodic structure of the word.

Abstract:

Tianjin (Chinese) exhibits complex interactions among its disyllabic tone sandhi rules, leading to both left-to-right and right-to-left rule applications in trisyllabic sequences (cf. Chen 1986, X. Wang 2003). Which directionality to adopt for each particular trisyllabic sequence is arbitrary and cannot be accounted for by any known principles. Based on data from a recent acoustic study, our phonological analysis demonstrates that the seemingly ungoverned directionality is only apparent and that Tianjin tone sandhi rules apply only from left to right when both metrical and tonal complexity conditions are satisfied, thereby providing a unified account.

Abstract:

SUMMARY Although it is generally assumed that shortening of stressed vowels in Old English occurred in two environments (viz. preceding two consonants in trisyllabic words, e.g., samcucu and preceding three consonants in disyllabic words, e.g., broemblas, godspell ), it is argued in this paper that the weight of the two environments cannot be considered equal in terms of a syllabic phonology since the postulation of syllable structures is required which cannot be justified for pre-Old English; e.g., Vmb$lV and Vds$pV. It turns out that a re-examination of exemplary cases leaves the claim that shortening occurred in disyllabics preceding three consonants unsupported for two reasons. Firstly, a variety of evidence indicates the appropriateness of a trisyllabic reconstruction for sequences of the type VmblV (i.e., as Vm$bl$(1)V), thus allowing their inclusion with the other trisyllabic structures. Secondly, shortening in godspell can be viewed as a special case resulting from lexical contamination of original god with god. The phonological shortening of the trisyllablcs is seen as the first round in a series where shortening generalized from heavier to lighter environments. RÉSUMÉ Même s'il est généralement accepté que l'abrègement des voyelles toniques en ancien anglais se produit dans deux environnements différents (avant deux consonnes dans les trisyllabes, par exemple samcucu, et avant trois consonnes dans les disyllabes, par exemple broemblas, godspell), le présent exposé démontre que le poids de ces deux environnements ne peut être considéré égal en termes de phonologie syllabique puisqu'il présuppose la présence d'une structure syllabique qui ne peut être justifiée en ancien anglais (par exemple, Vmb$lV et Vds$pV). Une re-examination de ces cas démontre que l'abrègement des voyelles tonales dans les dissyllabes lorsqu'elles précèdent trois consonnes est une hypothèse sans fondement. Un nombre de phénomènes suggèrent que la reconstruction trisyllabique pour les séquences du genre VmblV (i.e., Vm$bl $(1)V) est appropriée et nous permet de les inclure parmis les autres structures trissyllabiques, alors que l'abrègement de godspell peut être perçu comme un cas spécial résultant de la contamination lexicale entre god et god. L'abrègement dans les formes trisyllabiques est donc perçu comme étant la première étape d'une série de développements, où les abrègements se sont généralisés à partir des environnements syllabiques 'lourds', jusqu'aux environnements syllabiques 'légers'. ZUSAMMENFASSUNG Es wird gewöhnlich angenommen, daß die Verkürzung der betonten Vokale im Altenglischen in zwei Umgebungen stattfand; nämlich in drei-silbigen Wôrtern vor zwei Konsonanten (z.B. samcucu) und in zweisilbigen Wörtern vor drei Konsonanten (z.B. broemblas, godspell ). In diesem Aufsatz wird gezeigt, daB das Gewicht dieser zwei Umgebungen in einer Silbenphonologie nicht gleichgestellt werden können, da Silbenstrukturen (z.B. Vmb$lV und Vds$pV) erforderlich wären, die für das Altenglische nicht gerechtfertigt werden können. Tatsächlich liefert eine Nachprüfung der Muster-beispiele keine Unterstützung für die Annahme einer frühen Verkürzung der Vokallänge in zweisilbigen Wörtern vor drei Konsonanten. Im Fall einer Folge VmblV hingegen rechtfertigt eine Reihe von Tatsachen eine dreisilbige Rekonstruktion, d.h. Vm$bl $(1)V; folglich können diese Strukturen den anderen dreisilbigen zugeordnet werden. AuBerdem muß die Verkürzung in godspell als eine Art lexikalische Kontamination von god mit god betrachtet werden. Die Verkürzung dieser dreisilbigen Wôrter wird als Anfang eines Ent-wicklungsgangs betrachtet, wobei die Verkürzung zuerst schwere Umgebungen und dann immer leichtere Umgebungen betrifft.

Abstract:

In the Tianjin dialect, casual utterance of familiar trisyllabic sequences often induces deletion of phonological segments so that for a trisyllabic string, the non-final syllables would merge into a single syllable. This elide-and-merge process interacts with the rich Tianjin tone sandhi system to produce rather complicated patterns. In this paper, casual speech elision is shown to fall out straightforwardly from a model that recognizes morae as associated with segments and also as tone-bearing units. Thus, elision of morae also removes tonal features. While this understanding provides a clear description of the patterns, it also reveals an ordering paradox: sandhi applies before elision in some cases, but after elision in others. The paradox is resolved by favoring the order that produces a contour tone for the merged syllable. An explanation for this can be found if one recognizes that Tianjin is prosodically iambic.

Abstract:

AbstractWe investigated production of lexical stress in children with and without autism spectrum disorders (ASD), all monolingual Italian speakers. The mean age of the 16 autistic children was 5.73 years and the mean age of the 16 typically developing children was 4.65 years. Picture-naming targets were five trisyllabic words that began with a weak–strong pattern of lexical stress across the initial two syllables (WS: matita) and five trisyllabic words beginning with a strong–weak pattern (SW: gomito). Acoustic measures of the duration, fundamental frequency, and intensity of the first two vowels for correct word productions were used to calculate a normalised Pairwise Variability Index (PVI) for WS and SW words. Results of acoustic analyses indicated no statistically significant group differences in PVIs. Results should be interpreted in line with the exploratory nature of this study. We hope this study will encourage additional cross-linguistic studies of prosody in children's speech production.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to use previously recorded Spanish trisyllabic words tested on adults in the measurement of the speech recognition threshold of Spanish-speaking children in order to (a) determine the words' appropriateness when testing children and (b) compare psychometric functions between adults and children. A selection of 28 frequently used trisyllabic words was chosen from previously recorded samples of male and female adult native speakers of Spanish. These words were then presented to 20 native Spanish-speaking children with normal hearing between the ages of 4 and 8 years. The words were presented starting at -5 dB HL and ascended in 5 dB increments until the presentation level reached 15 dB HL. Using logistic regression, psychometric functions were calculated for each word. Resulting pediatric thresholds were found to be 8.7 dB higher for male talkers and 11.0 dB higher for female talkers than previously reported adult thresholds. These results indicate a clinically significant threshold difference between pediatric and adult populations. Future research should be conducted to measure the speech recognition threshold (SRT) in children of varying ages to determine the age at which the SRT approximates with adult performance.

Abstract:

Languages differ in how vowel length is applied, which can affect the acquisition of a second language. In Czech, the length is phonological. There are practically no restrictions on its occurrence. It is also completely independent of word stress. In Russian, the length of vocals does not have a phonological status but can be an accompanying characteristic in the implementation of a word stress. The subject of the experiment is the perceptual analysis of vocal quantity in Czech as L2 in Russian speakers (8 subjects). The material consists of recordings of a set of trisyllabic words (48 lexemes, 256 items), in which the structure of quantity (8 different patterns) is checked.
