Near-merger of vowels in Estonian dialects
The present article presents a study of the raising of overlong mid vowels in Estonian dialects. Long mid vowels of South Estonian dialects (Mulgi, Tartu and Võru) have split into full-long mid vowels (Q2) and into overlong raised mid vowels (Q3). Raising of mid vowels also characterises West Estonian dialects. The formant values of raised mid vowels of Võru and Mulgi show that they are much hi...
متن کاملVariation of verbal constructions in Estonian dialects
Traditional Estonian dialect classifications are based on the phonology, morphology, and lexis, and there are very few studies about syntax available. The present paper is the first quantitative syntactic study of Estonian dialects. We concentrate on constructions consisting of finite and non-finite verbs, and we apply contemporary statistical methods to explore the syntactic variation. Our res...
متن کاملSignificant Features in Estonian Word Prosody
The article discusses the main paradigm of Estonian word prosody – triple opposition of phonetic quantity in disyllabic foot – as manifested in fluent speech. Statistical methods are used to find out which of the characteristics of quantity degrees are essential and on what conditions they occur. The word structure under investigation is CV(::)CV. As revealed by statistical analysis, the durati...
متن کاملAnalyzing phonetic variation in the traditional English dialects: Simultaneously clustering dialects and phonetic features
This study explores the linguistic application of bipartite spectral graph partitioning, a graphtheoretic technique that simultaneously identifies clusters of similar localities as well as clusters of features characteristic of those localities. We compare the results using this approach to previously published results on the same dataset using cluster and principal component analysis (Shacklet...
متن کاملRole of Morpho-Syntactic Features in Estonian Proficiency Classification
We developed an approach to predict the proficiency level of Estonian language learners based on the CEFR guidelines. We performed learner classification by studying morphosyntactic variation and lexical richness in texts produced by learners of Estonian as a second language. We show that our features which exploit the rich morphology of Estonian by focusing on the nominal case and verbal mood ...
