  • 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.

Type: Expert contribution Source: Peter Constable, SIL International Action: For consideration by WG2 References: WG2 N2307, N2195 Distribution: WG2 members Introduction Concern was expressed in section 3.3 of WG2 N2195 that the existing tone letter characters in the UCS (U+02E5..U+02E9) are not adequate to represent contour tones, such as high-rising, that occur in languages such as Cantonese. N2307 explains that the existing tone letter characters are, in fact, adequate for representing contour tones by the use of tone letter sequences. For example, a high- rising tone (a 45 contour) can be represented using a sequence of characters 02E6+02E5. The concern expressed in N2195 appears to be motivated not by the need for an encoded representation of contour tones, but by the problem of appropriate presentation of an encoded representation using glyphs with contour shapes. This is a prototypical case of the distinction between characters and glyphs, as asserted by ISO/IEC TR 15285, and of the need for information systems to provide complex character sequence-to-glyph mappings as specified in TR 15285. I wish to support the opinion expressed in N2307, that the existing tone letter characters 02E5..02E9 are adequate for representing tone contours, by describing an existing implementation that is capable of presenting contour tone glyphs that are mapped from UCS tone letter sequences.

  • Iambic and Trochaic Rhythm in Jieyang (Southern Min) *
    Iambic and Trochaic Rhythm in Jieyang (Southern Min) * Suki Yiu University of Hong Kong, University of Arizona 1 Introduction According to the Iambic/Trochaic Law, there is a perceptual universal where intensity leads to initial prominence while duration leads to final prominence based on extralinguistic evidence (e.g. Bolton 1894, Woodrow 1909, 1951). These two types of durationally asymmetric rhythmic groupings later form the extralinguistic basis of Hayes’ (1985, 1995) proposal of an asymmetric foot inventory to explain the rhythmic structure in linguistics, referred to as Metrical Stress Theory. However, its application to languages typically considered as tonal is mostly unknown. Crowhurst and Teodocio Olivares’ (2014) work on Betaza Zapotec (Oxaca, Mexico) provided a concise review of linguistic rhythmic grouping, and pointed out that earlier studies all tested native speakers of a few languages, among which speech-like stimuli were only used for western European languages (Hay and Diehl 2007, Bhatara et al. 2013, Morgan, Edwards, and Wheeldon 2014). Considering tonal languages spoken in Asia, the more diverse tonal contrast may also interact with tone sandhi and other phenomena described as stress-sensitive (Chen 2000: 285). In particular, the distinction between left and right tonal prominence displayed in bidirectional tone sandhi resembles that of a metrical distinction between iambic and trochaic rhythm. Given the bidirectional tone sandhi in Teochew (Southern Min), this paper adopts Jieyang (Bao 1990, 1996, Cai 1991, Lin and Chen 1996), known as the standard variety of Teochew, for acoustic measurements and statistical analyses in a minimal prosodic domain of two syllables (Yiu 2018a, 2018b, 2018c, forthcoming).

  • Sumi Tone: a Phonological and Phonetic Description of a Tibeto-Burman Language of Nagaland
    Sumi tone: a phonological and phonetic description of a Tibeto-Burman language of Nagaland Amos Benjamin Teo Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Masters by Research (by Thesis Only) December 2009 School of Languages and Linguistics The University of Melbourne Abstract Previous research on Sumi, a Tibeto-Burman language spoken in the extreme northeast of India, has found it to have three lexical tones. However, the few phonological studies of Sumi have focused mainly on its segmental phonology and have failed to provide any substantial account of the tone system. This thesis addresses the issue by providing the first comprehensive description of tone in this language. In addition to confirming three contrastive tones, this study also presents the first acoustic phonetic analysis of Sumi, looking at the phonetic realisation of these tones and the effects of segmental perturbations on tone realisation. The first autosegmental representation of Sumi tone is offered, allowing us to account for tonal phenomena such as the assignment of surface tones to prefixes that appear to be lexically unspecified for tone. Finally, this investigation presents the first account of morphologically conditioned tone variation in Sumi, finding regular paradigmatic shifts in the tone on verb roots that undergo nominalisation. The thesis also offers a cross-linguistic comparison of the tone system of Sumi with that of other closely related Kuki-Chin-Naga languages and some preliminary observations of the historical origin and development of tone in these languages are made. This is accompanied by a typological comparison of these languages with other Tibeto-Burman languages, which shows that although these languages are spoken in what has been termed the ‘Indosphere’, their tone systems are similar to those of languages spoken further to the east in the ‘Sinosphere’.

Keyworth A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of St. Cloud State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in English: TESL March, 2014 Thesis Committee: Ettien Koffi, Chairperson Michael Schwartz Monica Devers 2 Abstract Although laboratory phonology techniques have been widely employed to discover the interplay between the acoustic correlates of English Lexical Stress (ELS)–fundamental frequency, duration, and intensity - studies on ELS in polysyllabic words are rare, and cross- linguistic acoustic studies in this area are even rarer. Consequently, the effects of language experience on L2 lexical stress acquisition are not clear. This investigation of adult Arabic (Saudi Arabian) and Mandarin (Mainland Chinese) speakers analyzes their ELS production in tokens with seven different stress-shifting suffixes; i.e., Level 1 [+cyclic] derivations to phonologists.
