!e coarticulatory basis of diachronic high back vowel fronting*
!e study is concerned with the contribution of synchronic consonant-on-vowel coarticulation to the diachronic fronting of high back vowels. !e "rst part of the paper makes use of an empirical analysis of German vowels to explain why high back vowels are more likely to front diachronically than high front vowels are to retract. !is study is then linked to the changing coarticulatory relationship...
متن کاملAn ultrasound analysis of low back vowel fronting in the Northern Cities Vowel Shift
While the acoustic characteristics of the Northern Cities Vowel Shift (NCVS) are well documented, research on the articulatory components of this shift is comparatively limited. This study combines acoustic, video, and ultrasound analysis to examine the productions of seven Metro Detroit speakers and determine the relative contributions of lip configuration and tongue position to the production...
متن کاملDirectional asymmetry during combined saccade-vergence movements.
We investigated relationships between saccadic and vergence components of gaze shifts as 10 human subjects switched visual fixation between targets aligned in the midsagittal plane that lay in different vertical directions and at different distances. When fixation was shifted between a higher distant target and a lower near target, peak convergence velocity followed peak vertical saccadic veloc...
متن کاملDirectional variation of spatial and temporal characteristics of limb movements made by monkeys in a two-dimensional work space.
1. The directional variation of kinematic and electromyographic (EMG) characteristics of two-joint arm movements made to targets in a two-dimensional work space was studied in monkeys trained to make targeted arm movements under different behavioral conditions. 2. In each animal, kinematic measures of movement (movement amplitude, movement time, peak velocity, and trajectory curvature) and endp...
متن کاملUsing angle calculations to demonstrate vowel shifts: A diachronic investigation of FOOT-fronting in 20th-century RP (UK)
a) Develop a new ‘centre of gravity’-based normalisation procedure which better enables visual comparisons of vowel formant plots from different sources, and avoids some of the disadvantages of more well-known procedures (Watt and Fabricius 2003). b) Define geometrical measures of the configurational relations between average vowel positions on formant plots to aid the replicable interpretation...
