Syllables without vowels: phonetic and phonological evidence from Tashlhiyt Berber
It has been proposed that Tashlhiyt is a language which allows any segment, including obstruents, to be a syllable nucleus. The most striking and controversial examples taken as arguments in favour of this analysis involve series of words claimed to contain only obstruents. This claim is disputed in some recent work, where it is argued that these consonant sequences contain schwas that can be s...
متن کاملGestural coordination of Brazilian Portugese nasal vowels in CV syllables: A real-time MRI study
The coordination of velum and lingual gestures for Brazilian Portuguese nasal vowels in CV syllables is studied with real-time magnetic resonance imaging (rt-MRI). Four syllable structures were compared: stop-oral vowel, stop-nasal vowel, nasal-oral vowel, nasal-nasal vowel. Results show near-synchrony timing (in-phase) for the consonant onset and nasal vowel’s lingual onset, and for the conson...
متن کاملVowels, syllables, and letter names: differences between young children's spelling in English and Portuguese.
Young Portuguese-speaking children have been reported to produce more vowel- and syllable-oriented spellings than have English speakers. To investigate the extent and source of such differences, we analyzed children's vocabulary and found that Portuguese words have more vowel letter names and a higher vowel-consonant ratio than do English words. In a spelling experiment, we found that Portugues...
متن کاملEvaluation of synthetic and natural Mandarin visual speech: Initial consonants, single vowels, and syllables
Although the auditory aspects of Mandarin speech are relatively more heavily-researched and well-known in the field, this study addresses its visual aspects by examining the perception of both Mandarin natural and synthetic visual speech. In perceptual experiments, the synthetic visual speech of a computer-animated Mandarin talking head was evaluated and subsequently improved. Also, the basic (...
متن کاملComparing Identification of Artificial and Natural Vowels
In this study, we investigate how listeners classify non-native vowels, comparing classification of synthetically produced stimuli to that of natural stimuli. A forced choice identification task reveals that synthetic vowels are labeled differently from natural vowels and take more processing time. Participants are also less concordant in labeling synthetic tokens as compared to natural tokens....
