Phonetic Universals in Vowel Systems
From an evolutionary point of view, it does not appear unnatural to assume that language form is forged by the sociobiological conditions of its use. Thus spoken language tends to evolve sound systems and grammars that can be explained, at least in part, with reference to the fact that it is spoken. It uses the vocal-auditory channel and ought therefore to exhibit adaptations to the development...
متن کاملA phonetic analysis of back vowel raising in Dublin English
1. ABSTRACT This study uses acoustic phonetic techniques to verify reports of back vowel raising in Dublin English and re-interpret those changes. Hickey [9] describes the raising of a series of back vowels as characteristic of a new variety of Dublin English. He interprets this raising as a shift away from the open realisations of vernacular forms of Dublin English. This study confirms the pre...
متن کاملPhonetic reduction, vowel duration, and prosodic structure
Word frequency, phonological neighborhood density, semantic predictability in context, and discourse mention have all been previously found to cause reduction of vowels. Other researchers have suggested that reduction based on these factors is reflective of a unified process in which “redundant” or “predictable” elements are reduced, and that this reduction is largely mediated by prosody. Using...
متن کاملPhonetic imitation of Japanese vowel devoicing
Recent studies have shown that talkers implicitly imitate/accommodate the phonetic properties of recently heard speech [1, 2]. However, it has also been shown that this phonetic imitation effect is not an automatic process [3, 4]: in [3], the artificially lengthened VOT on /p/ was imitated in a non-shadowing task, while shortened VOT (which could jeopardize phonemic contrast) was not imitated, ...
متن کاملPhonetic and Linguistic Aspects of Vowel Reduction
Suppose you are having dinner and you want the salt. There are various ways of asking your dish companions for the salt, but the shortest one is calling for "Salt!". Apparently, such a request, that will normally be expressed in several words, can also be said in one single word (if we disregard the aspect of decency). Other examples of condensed messages are telegrams, the speech of young chil...
