Perceptual asymmetry between greater and lesser vowel nasality and VOT
This study explores whether there is an asymmetry with respect to the perceptual salience of an increase vs. a decrease of phonologically relevant features. A forced-choice discrimination experiment was conducted on stimulus pairs that included one member with unchanged phonetic features and the other with either increased or decreased degree of features (i.e., vowel nasality or VOT). The resul...
متن کاملProsodic strengthening on consonantal nasality and its asymmetric coarticulatory influence on vowel nasalization in CVN# and #NVC in English
This study explores the relationship between prosodic strengthening and linguistic contrasts in English by examining temporal realization of nasals in CVN# and #NVC, and their coarticulatory influence on vowels. Results show that different sources of prosodic strengthening bring about different types of linguistic contrasts. Prominence increased N-duration ([nasality]) but the vowel’s [orality]...
متن کاملPerception and Acoustics of Vowel Nasality in Brazilian Portuguese
This study explores the relationship between identification, degree of nasality and vowel quality in oral, nasal and nasalized vowels in Brazilian Portuguese. Despite common belief that the language possesses contrastive nasal vowels, literature examination shows that nasal vowels may be followed by a nasal resonance, while nasalized vowels must be followed by a nasal consonant. It is argued th...
متن کاملThe aerodynamics of vowel nasality and nasalization in Brazilian Portuguese
Brazilian Portuguese (BP) is thought to possess contrastive nasal vowels that are different from contextually nasalized vowels in its phonological system. Aerodynamic data (nasal and oral airflow) of 11 native speakers show that interspeaker variability is important in this language with regard to the nasal airflow ratio of tautosyllabic nasal vowels (TNVs; campo [kɐ̃ pʊ] ‘field’) and heterosyll...
متن کاملPerceptual Distance of Contrast: Vowel Height and Nasality
Acknowledgments: Many thanks to audiences at UC Irvine, and at a UCSC phonology lunch meeting, for much helpful commentary. Thanks especially to Ryan Bush, Junko Itô, Armin Mester, Nathan Sanders, Rachel Walker, and Moira Yip. 1 On the following see Saussure's Cours de linguistique générale, and for interpretation Wells (1957) and Anderson (1985). The usual caveats when one attributes views to ...
