A third asymmetry between regres- sive and progressive spreading of velarization, documented by Zawaydeh (1999) for Ammani Jordanian Arabic, is that regressive spreading is categorical, whereas progressive spreading is gradient. For example, the word /tasalla!/ ‘he overruled’ is pronounced with the first two syllables just as velarized as the third syllable, whereas in the word /%a!al%tak/ ‘your muscles’, the third syllable shows less velarization than the second, and the fourth syllable shows even less velarization than the third. The asymmetries manifested between regressive and progressive assimilation reflect that regressive velarization is stronger than progressive velarization, and this may have a basis in articulation, as sug- gested by Watson (1999). A largely unexplored topic with respect to velarization is its sociolinguistics, namely to what extent, if any, does velarization in a single dialect vary with respect to gender, style, social class, etc. An investigation undertaken by Royal (1985) documented acoustically stronger velar- ization patterns for males than for females. vvelarization_1-2.inddelarization_1-2.indd 2 77/18/2008/18/2008 8:57:038:57:03 PMPM.

  • The Grammar of Coarticulation Edward Flemming Department of Linguistics & Philosophy, MIT
    The Grammar of Coarticulation Edward Flemming Department of Linguistics & Philosophy, MIT 1. Introduction It is well established that coarticulatory patterns are language-specific and therefore must be specified in the grammars of languages (e.g. Beddor, Harnsberger & Lindemann, 2002, Clumeck, 1976, Huffman, 1988, Keating & Cohn, 1988, Magen, 1984, Manuel, 1990, Manuel & Krakow, 1984, Oh, 2002), but there is less consensus on the nature of the grammar of coarticulation. Here we use evidence from the typology of coarticulatory patterns to argue for a model based on weighted constraints. Through two case studies we see that coarticulation shows typological variation that is parallel in many respects to phonological typology: there are common or universal cross-linguistic patterns, such as F0 transitions between adjacent tones, that point to universal constraints, such as physiological limitations on rates of F0 change, but language- specific variation in the details of coarticulation, e.g. variation in the timing of F0 transitions, shows that languages differ in their responses to these constraints. I propose that this is due to interaction between conflicting constraints: constraints on rate of change interact with perceptually motivated constraints requiring the realization of phonetic targets. These constraints can conflict, with conflicts being resolved by constraint prioritization. The relative priority of constraints can differ from language to language resulting in language-specific patterns of coarticulation. This is essentially the same approach to the analysis of typology that has been successful in Optimality Theoretic analyses of phonology (Prince & Smolensky, 2004). This account of coarticulation has implications for analyses that attempt to explain phonological generalizations in terms of phonologization of coarticulation.

  • Nasal Assimilation in Quranic Recitation Table of Contents

Introduction This paper is concerned with the analysis of certain rules governing nasality and nasal assimilation during recitation of the holy Quran. I These rules are a subset of tajwi:d, a set of rules governing the correct prescribed recitation and pronunciation of the Islamic scriptures. The first part of the paper will describe the historical and cultural importance of the Quran and tajwi:d, with the proposition that a tension or conflict between the necessity for clarity and enunciation and the desire for beautification of the divine words of God is the driving force behind tajwi:d's importance. Though the rules are functional rather than "natural," these prescriptive rules can be integrated into a study lexical phonology and feature geometry, as discussed in the second section, since prescriptive rules must work within those rules set by the language's grammar. Muslims consider the Quran a divine and holy text, untampered with and unchangeable by humankind. Western scholars have attempted to identify it as the writings of the Prophet Muhammad, a humanly written text like any other. Viewing the holy Quran in this way ignores the religious, social and linguistic implications of its perceived unchangeability, and does disservice to the beliefs of many Muslims.

  • Lecture 5 Sound Change
    An articulatory theory of sound change An articulatory theory of sound change Hypothesis: Most common initial motivation for sound change is the automation of production. Tokens reduced online, are perceived as reduced and represented in the exemplar cluster as reduced. Therefore we expect sound changes to reflect a decrease in gestural magnitude and an increase in gestural overlap. What are some ways to test the articulatory model? The theory makes predictions about what is a possible sound change. These predictions could be tested on a cross-linguistic database. Sound changes that take place in the languages of the world are very similar (Blevins 2004, Bateman 2000, Hajek 1997, Greenberg et al. 1978). We should consider both common and rare changes and try to explain both. Common and rare changes might have different characteristics. Among the properties we could look for are types of phonetic motivation, types of lexical diffusion, gradualness, conditioning environment and resulting segments. Common vs. rare sound change? We need a database that allows us to test hypotheses concerning what types of changes are common and what types are not. A database of sound changes? Most sound changes have occurred in undocumented periods so that we have no record of them. Even in cases with written records, the phonetic interpretation may be unclear. Only a small number of languages have historic records. So any sample of known sound changes would be biased towards those languages. A database of sound changes? Sound changes are known only for some languages of the world: Languages with written histories. Sound changes can be reconstructed by comparing related languages.

  • Assimilation, Reduction and Elision Reflected in the Selected Song Lyrics of Avenged Sevenfold
    Dwi Nita Febriyanti Assimilation, Reduction and Elision Reflected in the Selected Song Lyrics of Avenged Sevenfold Dwi Nita Febriyanti [email protected] English Language Studies, Sanata Dharma University Abstract This paper discusses the phenomena of phonological rules, especially assimilation, reduction and elision processes. In this paper, the writer conducted phonological study which attempts to find the phenomena of those processes in song lyrics. In taking the data, the writer transcribed the lyrics of the songs, along with checking them to the internet source, then observed the lyrics to find the phenomena of assimilation, reduction, and elision. After that, she classified the observed phenomena in the lyrics based on the phonological processes. From the data analysis, the results showed that there were three processes found both in the first and second songs: assimilation, reduction and elision. The difference is that in the first song, it has four kinds of assimilation, while from the second song only has three kinds of assimilation.

  • Is Phonological Consonant Epenthesis Possible? a Series of Artificial Grammar Learning Experiments
    Is Phonological Consonant Epenthesis Possible? A Series of Artificial Grammar Learning Experiments Rebecca L. Morley Abstract Consonant epenthesis is typically assumed to be part of the basic repertoire of phonological gram- mars. This implies that there exists some set of linguistic data that entails epenthesis as the best analy- sis. However, a series of artificial grammar learning experiments found no evidence that learners ever selected an epenthesis analysis. Instead, phonetic and morphological biases were revealed, along with individual variation in how learners generalized and regularized their input. These results, in combi- nation with previous work, suggest that synchronic consonant epenthesis may only emerge very rarely, from a gradual accumulation of changes over time. It is argued that the theoretical status of epenthesis must be reconsidered in light of these results, and that investigation of the sufficient learning conditions, and the diachronic developments necessary to produce those conditions, are of central importance to synchronic theory generally. 1 Introduction Epenthesis is defined as insertion of a segment that has no correspondent in the relevant lexical, or un- derlying, form. There are various types of epenthesis that can be defined in terms of either the insertion environment, the features of the epenthesized segment, or both. The focus of this paper is on consonant epenthesis and, more specifically, default consonant epenthesis that results in markedness reduction (e.g. Prince and Smolensky (1993/2004)). Consonant

  • Part 1: Introduction to The
    PREVIEW OF THE IPA HANDBOOK Handbook of the International Phonetic Association: A guide to the use of the International Phonetic Alphabet PARTI Introduction to the IPA 1. What is the International Phonetic Alphabet? The aim of the International Phonetic Association is to promote the scientific study of phonetics and the various practical applications of that science. For both these it is necessary to have a consistent way of representing the sounds of language in written form. From its foundation in 1886 the Association has been concerned to develop a system of notation which would be convenient to use, but comprehensive enough to cope with the wide variety of sounds found in the languages of the world; and to encourage the use of thjs notation as widely as possible among those concerned with language. The system is generally known as the International Phonetic Alphabet. Both the Association and its Alphabet are widely referred to by the abbreviation IPA, but here 'IPA' will be used only for the Alphabet. The IPA is based on the Roman alphabet, which has the advantage of being widely familiar, but also includes letters and additional symbols from a variety of other sources. These additions are necessary because the variety of sounds in languages is much greater than the number of letters in the Roman alphabet. The use of sequences of phonetic symbols to represent speech is known as transcription. The IPA can be used for many different purposes. For instance, it can be used as a way to show pronunciation in a dictionary, to record a language in linguistic fieldwork, to form the basis of a writing system for a language, or to annotate acoustic and other displays in the analysis of speech.

  • An Examination of Oral Articulation of Vowel Nasality in the Light of the Independent Effects of Nasalization on Vowel Quality
    DOI: 10.17469/O2104AISV000002 CHRISTOPHER CARIGNAN An examination of oral articulation of vowel nasality in the light of the independent effects of nasalization on vowel quality In this paper, a summary is given of an experimental technique to address a known issue in research on the independent effects of nasalization on vowel acoustics: given that the separate transfer functions associated with the oral and nasal cavities are merged in the acoustic signal, the task of teasing apart the respective effects of the two cavities seems to be an intractable problem. The results obtained from the method reveal that the independent effects of nasal- ization on the acoustic vowel space are: F1-raising for high vowels, F1-lowering for non-high vowels, and F2-lowering for non-front vowels. The results from previous articulatory research performed by the author on the production of vowel nasality in French, Hindi, and English are discussed in the light of these independent effects of nasalization on vowel quality. Keywords: vowel nasality, vowel quality, articulation, acoustics, sound change. 1. Introduction A traditional characterization of vowel nasality adopts a seemingly binary classification of vowel sounds based on the relative height of the velum: nasal vowels are produced with a low velum position (and, thus, air radiation from both the oral and nasal cavities), where- as oral vowels are produced with a high velum position (and, thus, air radiation from the oral cavity alone). While it is unquestionably true that nasal vowels are produced with a lowered velum, this traditional characterization carries an implicit assumption about the state of the oral cavity for the production of a nasal vowel, i.e., that the nasal vowel maintains the same articulatory characteristics as its non-nasal counterpart in all aspects except for the height of the velum.

    International Journal of Education and Research Vol. 1 No. 9 September 2013 The Morphophonemics of Vowel Compensatory Lengthening in Ekegusii Samwel Komenda a, Geoffrey M. Maroko b*, Ruth W. Ndung’u c Kenyatta University, P.O Box 43844 – 00100, Nairobi, Kenya Corresponding author Email: [email protected] Tel: 0 712 660 638 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract Literature shows that not much is known about the prosodic systems in Ekegusii, a Bantu language spoken by about 2.2 million people in south western Kenya. This paper presents an analysis of vowel compensatory lengthening in Ekegusii. Synchronic evidence for hiatus resolution strategies is provided in order to describe the vowels that are lengthened compensatorily and determine the morphological processes that trigger compensatory lengthening in Ekegusii. Guided by native speaker intuition and triangulation by other native speakers, data in the form of nominals and verbals were elicited from four Ekegusii texts and qualitatively analysed for emerging patterns. Findings revealed that all the seven basic Ekegusii vowels undergo compensatory lengthening when their phonetic environments are altered. Vowel compensatory lengthening is brought out as a surface realisation of the interaction of morphemes through the morphological process of prefixation. The lengthening is further seen as a conspiracy to eliminate ill-formed sequences created by prefixation. The height of the first vowel and whether it is followed
