    The Utterance, and OtherBasic Units for Second Language Discourse Analysis GRAHAM CROOKES University of Hawaii-Manoa Theselection ofa base unitisan importantdecision in theprocess ofdiscourse analysis. A number of different units form the bases of discourse analysis systems designed for dealing with structural characteristics ofsecondlanguage discourse. Thispaperreviews the moreprominentofsuch unitsand provides arguments infavourofthe selection ofone inparticular-the utterance. INTRODUCTION Discourse analysis has been an accepted part of the methodology of second language (SL) research for some time (see, for example, Chaudron 1988: 40-5; Hatch 1978; Hatch and Long 1980; Larsen-Freeman 1980), and its procedures are becoming increasingly familiar and even to some extent standardized. As is well-known, an important preliminary stage in the discourse analysis of speech is the identification of units relevant to the investigation within the body of text to be analysed, or the complete separation of the corpus into those basic units. In carrying out this stage of the analysis, the varying needs of second language discourse analysis have caused investigators to make use ofall of the traditional grammatical units of analysis (morpheme, word, clause, etc.), as well as other structural or interactional features of the discourse (for example, turns), in addition to a variety of other units defined in terms of their functions (for example, moves). These units have formed the bases of a number of different analytic systems, which canmainly beclassified as either structural orfunctional (Chaudron 1988), developed to address differing research objectives. In carrying out structural discourse analyses of oral text, researchers have been confronted with the fact that most grammars are based on a unit that is not defined for speech, but is based on the written mode of language-that is, the sentence.

  • Phonetics and Experimental Phonology, Circa 1960-2000*
    Phonetics and Experimental Phonology, circa 1960-2000* John Coleman 1. Experimentation, documentation, instrumentation, computation Phonetics draws on two traditions: the experimental paths of speech physiology, acoustics, and psychology, and the anthropological-linguistic paths of detailed description and documentation of the sounds of specific languages, including the quest for previously undocumented possible sounds. Especially since 1960, the former has accelerated and yielded a proliferation of discoveries that will form the bulk of this chapter. But before taking that up, let us not overlook the ongoing progress in documenting the phonetics of specific languages. Phonetic “specimens” of languages had appeared in the journals and brochures of the International Phonetic Association since the beginning of the century. The 1960s' shift in focus from particular languages towards universal or general properties of language is exemplified without parallel in the phonetic surveys of West African and (subsequently) a global spectrum of languages by Peter Ladefoged, his students and colleagues at the UCLA Phonetics Laboratory (Ladefoged 1964, Ladefoged and Maddieson 1996). This work deployed keen observation and some instrumental investigations to discover numerous previously undocumented or neglected possibilities of human speech. In a parallel phonologically-oriented survey, Maddieson (1984) assembled the UCLA Phonological Segment Inventory (UPSID), drawing upon and extending data from the Stanford Phonology Archive (Greenberg et al. 1978), and mined it for new insights into phonological systems and typology. The mother lode for phonetic discoveries, however, has been instrumental and experimental phonetics, and their symbiotic relationship with the abundant proposals of phonological theory. These, in turn, rested upon significant developments in instrumentation in speech physiology, acoustics, and perception.

  • Methodological Issues for the Study of Phonetic Variation in the Italo-Romance Dialects
    Methodological issues for the study of phonetic variation in the Italo-Romance dialects Giovanni ABETE Università degli Studi di Napoli "Federico II", Dipartimento di Filologia Moderna In questo articolo si discutono alcune tecniche di elicitazione e se ne valuta l’adeguatezza per lo studio della variazione fonetica nei dialetti italiani. Le riflessioni teoriche sono ancorate all’analisi di uno specifico fenomeno linguistico: l’alternanza sincronica tra dittonghi e monottonghi nel dialetto di Pozzuoli (in provincia di Napoli). In rapporto a questo fenomeno di variazione, vengono messi a confronto dati raccolti con l’intervista libera e risposte a un questionario di traduzione. L’analisi mette in luce l’opportunità del ricorso a materiale parlato spontaneo elicitato in situazioni il meno artificiose possibili. Nello stesso tempo, si argomenta in favore di un metodo di analisi che parta dai dati dell’uso per risalire induttivamente ai patterns di variazione, limitando così il ricorso ad assunzioni fonologiche a priori. 1. Introduction1 A central role in Italian dialectology is played by phonetic/phonological descriptions of dialectal varieties. Regrettably, phonetic research on dialects has generally lacked an experimental base. In fact, while most of experimental phonetics is directed towards the regional varieties of Italian, experimental techniques are only sporadically applied to the Romance dialects of Italy2. This paper investigates the reasons for such a gap, considering some problems of elicitation methods of dialectal speech. The theoretical reflections are anchored to the study of an actual phenomenon of phonetic variability: the synchronic alternation between diphthongs and monophthongs in the dialect of Pozzuoli. 1 This is a revised and extended version of a paper presented at the 11th congress of the Società Internazionale di Linguistica e Filologia Italiana, Naples 5-7 October 2010.

Investigating an Acoustic Measure of Perceived Isochrony in Conversation: Preliminary Notes on the Role of Rhythm in Turn Transitions Abstract In a preliminary investigation of isochrony, the rhythmic integration of talk, we evaluated rhythmic phenomena previously theorized to coordinate turn-transitions for correlates in the acoustic signal. Rhythmic sequencing is one of many elaborate contextualization cues regarded as facilitating a successful turn-transition. Previous studies of rhythm in conversation have attended only to its perceptual and interactional facets. In addressing this gap, our study finds quantitative justification for such claims of rhythmic turn-taking. We selected for acoustic analysis the twelve non-task-based, dyadic conversations of the Santa Barbara Corpus of Spoken American English (SBCSAE). Following Marcus’s (1981) assertion that the onset of the vowel is the closest acoustically-measurable location to the perceptual center of the syllable where the rhythmic downbeat occurs, duration was measured between vowel onsets to create prosodic syllables.

  • Mixed-Effects Design Analysis for Experimental Phonetics
    Mixed-effects design analysis for experimental phonetics James Kirby School of Philosophy, Psychology and Language Sciences, The University of Edinburgh, Dugald Stewart Building, 3 Charles Street, Edinburgh, EH8 9AD, Scotland (U.K.) Morgan Sonderegger Department of Linguistics, McGill University, 1085 Dr Penfield Avenue, Montreal, Quebec, H3A 1A7, Canada Abstract It is common practice in the statistical analysis of phonetic data to draw conclu- sions on the basis of statistical significance. While p-values reflect the probability of incorrectly concluding a null effect is real, they do not provide information about other types of error that are also important for interpreting statistical results. In this paper, we focus on three measures related to these errors. The first, power, reflects the likelihood of detecting an effect that in fact exists. The second and third, Type M and Type S errors, measure the extent to which estimates of the magnitude and direction of an effect are inaccurate. We then provide an exam- ple of design analysis (Gelman & Carlin, 2014), using data from an experimental study on German incomplete neutralization, to illustrate how power, magnitude, and sign errors vary with sample and effect size.

Those two are especially practiced by the nobles (Nb) and the common people (CP) in Tanjungpura District which is administratively located in Langkat Regency, North Sumatra Province (Indonesia). It involves six main informants for obtaining key speeches and 40 respondents for perception tests. This study uses acoustic phonetics theory and Praat program. For the emotional speech of anger the expression is pedeh hati ambe ngeleh kelakuannya tang orang tua which are used by both the Nb and the CP and can be phonetically pronounced as [pədeh ha:tɪ ʌmbə ŋəleh kəlʌkʊanɲʌ tʌŋ ɔːrʌŋ tʊa]; while for the emotional speech of happiness the expression is senang bena amba mendengar kabarnya yo which is pronounced as [sənʌŋ bena: ʌmbə məndəŋa:r kʌbʌrɲʌ jo] and this last expression is only spoken by the Nb. The study is conducted with several steps. The initial step refers to the process of digitization and the next was to measure the acoustic characteristics of frequency and duration of speeches, and extracting the measurement results.
