  • Chapter One Phonetic Change
    CHAPTERONE PHONETICCHANGE The investigation of the nature and the types of changes that affect the sounds of a language is the most highly developed area of the study of language change. The term sound change is used to refer, in the broadest sense, to alterations in the phonetic shape of segments and suprasegmental features that result from the operation of phonological process es. The pho- netic makeup of given morphemes or words or sets of morphemes or words also may undergo change as a by-product of alterations in the grammatical patterns of a language. Sound change is used generally to refer only to those phonetic changes that affect all occurrences of a given sound or class of sounds (like the class of voiceless stops) under specifiable phonetic conditions . It is important to distinguish between the use of the term sound change as it refers tophonetic process es in a historical context , on the one hand, and as it refers to phonetic corre- spondences on the other. By phonetic process es we refer to the replacement of a sound or a sequenceof sounds presenting some articulatory difficulty by another sound or sequence lacking that difficulty . A phonetic correspondence can be said to exist between a sound at one point in the history of a language and the sound that is its direct descendent at any subsequent point in the history of that language. A phonetic correspondence often reflects the results of several phonetic process es that have affected a segment serially . Although phonetic process es are synchronic phenomena, they often have diachronic consequences.

It publishes studies in descriptive, comparative, historical, and areal linguistics. Although its primary interest is in linguistic theory, it also publishes papers on the application of theory to language teaching, sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, anthropological principles, etc. Such papers should, however, be chiefly concerned with the principles which underlie specific techniques rather than with the mechanical aspects of such techniques. Articles are published in English, although papers written in Filipino, an official language of the Philippines, will occasionally appear. Since the Linguistic Society of the Philippines is composed of members whose paramount interests are the Philippine languages, papers on these and related languages are given priority in publication. This does not mean, however, that the journal will limit its scope to the Austronesian language family. Studies on any aspect of language structure are welcome. The Special Monograph Series publishes longer studies in the same areas of interest as the PJL, or collections of articles on a single theme. Manuscripts for publication, exchange journals, and books for review or listing should be sent to the Editor, Ma. Lourdes S. Bautista, De La Salle University, 2401 Taft Avenue, Manila, Philippines.

  • Preceding Phonological Context Effects on Palatalization in Brazilian Portuguese/English Interphonology
    Preceding Phonological Context... 63 PRECEDING PHONOLOGICAL CONTEXT EFFECTS ON PALATALIZATION IN BRAZILIAN PORTUGUESE/ENGLISH INTERPHONOLOGY Melissa Bettoni-Techio Rosana Denise Koerich Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina Abstract This article reports a study investigating the effects of the preceding context on palatalization of word-final alveolar stops by Brazilian learners of English. Thirty learners with 150 hours of formal instruction in English read a sentence list in the FL including 240 tokens of final alveolar stops in different preceding and following context combinations. The hypothesis investigated was that high vowels and rising diphthongs in the preceding context would cause more palatalization than mid and low vowels due to carryover effects from vowels to the target sound. The hypothesis was supported. A hierarchy of difficulty concerning preceding phonological contexts was established from the results. The combination of preceding and following phonological contexts was also investigated. Keywordsds: palatalization, interphonology, phonological context. Ilha do Desterro Florianópolis nº 55 p. 063-081 jul./dez. 2008 64 Melissa Bettoni-Techio & Rosana Denise Koerich 1. Introduction In general, phonologists and phoneticians agree that a universal principle of sound systems is that sound units are influenced by their adjacent elements, assuming different phonetic values, according to processes such as assimilation, elision, liaison, and epenthesis (Jackson, 1980; Laver, 1994; Wolfram & Johnson, 1982). Bearing in mind the claim that interlanguages undergo the same phonological processes of natural languages (Eckman, 1991), the above statement can be considered to be true for interlanguages as well. In Brazil, research has investigated the change of features of word- final consonants in Brazilian Portuguese (BP)/English interphonology concerning phonological context (e.g., Kluge, 2004).

  • Contrastive Analysis: a Comparison of English and Tagalog Phonetics & Phonology
    SAMPLE: Contrastive Analysis: A Comparison of English and Tagalog Phonetics & Phonology Contrastive Analysis: A Comparison of the English and Tagalog Phonetics & Phonology Trisha Alcisto University of Massachusetts Boston CONTRASTIVE ANALYSIS: A COMPARISON OF THE ENGLISH AND TAGALOG SOUND SYSTEMS 2 Introduction to a Contrastive Analysis This essay will explore and describe some similarities and differences between the sound systems of Tagalog, commonly referred to as Filipino, and English. For the purposes of this paper, I have obtained a linguistic description of the Tagalog language, provided by Paul Schachter (2008) in a chapter from Comrie’s The World’s Major Languages, as well as information collected from interviews with two native speakers of Tagalog. Both interviewees live in Manila, Philippines and are advanced users of English as an L2. From here forward, I will refer to them as Perry and Cha respectively. Perry is a male employed by an outsourcing company as an “English accent coach” for Filipino employees who speak on the phone with native English speakers daily. This demonstrates that he is considered to have explicit knowledge of English pronunciation as compared to that of Tagalog. Cha, like Perry and the rest of the Filipinos of their generation, was educated in English from primary school and forward, but does not believe that she has any explicit knowledge of English nor Tagalog. Her profession does also require, however, the daily use of both languages with colleagues and clients. A Comparison of Two Languages English and Tagalog belong to different language families: English from the West- Germanic branch of the Indo-European language family (Meyer, 2009) and Tagalog from the Western-Malayo-Polynesian branch of the Austronesian language family tree (Schachter, 2008).

  • Between Natural and Unnatural Phonology: the Case of Cluster-Splitting Epenthesis Juliette Blevins the Graduate Center, CUNY
    Chapter 1 Between natural and unnatural phonology: The case of cluster-splitting epenthesis Juliette Blevins The Graduate Center, CUNY A widely recognized feature of loan-word phonology is the resolution of clusters by vowel epenthesis. When a language lacking word-initial clusters borrows words from a language with initial #TRV sequences, T an oral stop and R a liquid, it is common to find vowel epenthesis, most typically vowel-copy, as in, for example: Basque <gurutze> ‘cross’ from Latin <cruce(m)>; Q’eqchi’ <kurus> ‘cross’ from Spanish <cruz> ‘cross’, or Fijian <kolosi> ‘cross’ from English <cross>. The phonological rule or sound change responsible for this pat- tern is sometimes called “cluster-splitting epenthesis”: #TRVi > #TV(i)RVi. The most widely accepted explanation for this pattern is that vowel epenthesis between the oral stop andthe following sonorant is due to the vowel-like nature of the TR transition, since #TRVi is per- ceptually similar to #TV(i)RVi. A fact not often appreciated, however, is that cluster-splitting epenthesis is extremely rare as a language-internal development. The central premise of this chapter is that #TRVi in a non-native language is heard or perceived as #TV(i)RVi when phonotactics of the native language demand TV transitions. Without this cognitive compo- nent, cluster-splitting epenthesis is rare and, as argued here, decidedly unnatural. 1 Introduction Diachronic explanations have been offered for both natural and unnatural sound pat- terns in human spoken languages. Building on the Neogrammarian tradition, as well as the experimental research program of Ohala (e.g. 1971; 1974; 1993), it is argued that natural sound patterns, like final obstruent devoicing, nasal place assimilation, vowel harmony, consonant lenition, and many others, arise from regular sound changes with clear phonetic bases (Blevins 2004, 2006, 2008, 2015; Anderson 2016).

  • The Tune Drives the Text - Competing Information Channels of Speech Shape Phonological Systems
    The tune drives the text - Competing information channels of speech shape phonological systems Cite as: Roettger, Timo B. & Grice, Martine (2019). The tune drives the text - Competing information channels of speech shape phonological systems. Language Dynamics and Change, 9(2), 265–298. DOI: 10.1163/22105832-00902006 Abstract In recent years there has been increasing recognition of the vital role of intonation in speech communication. While contemporary models represent intonation – the tune – and the text that bears it on separate autonomous tiers, this paper distils previously unconnected findings across diverse languages that point to important interactions between these two tiers. These interactions often involve vowels, which, given their rich harmonic structure, lend themselves particularly well to the transmission of pitch. Existing vowels can be lengthened, new vowels can be inserted and loss of their voicing can be blocked. The negotiation between tune and text ensures that pragmatic information is accurately transmitted and possibly plays a role in the typology of phonological systems. Keywords: Intonation, epenthesis, devoicing, lengthening, phonological typology Acknowledgment Funding from the German Research Foundation (SFB 1252 Prominence in Language) is gratefully acknowledged.
