Vowel Height Allophony and Dorsal Place Contrasts in Cochabamba Quechua
This paper reports on the results of two studies investigating the role of allophony in cueing phonemic contrasts. In Cochabamba Quechua, the uvularvelar place distinction is often cued by additional differences in the height of the surrounding vowels. An acoustic study documents the lowering effect of a preceding tautomorphemic or a following heteromorphemic uvular on the high vowels /i u/. A ...
متن کاملVowel Shifts and Phonology Phonetics Interface
1. I will be arguing from data on vowel shifts in progress, and from principles of language change, that language specific phonetic implementation rules must be part of speaker knowledge, and thus part of language acquisition. Then, I will sketch an abstract model of what phonetic implementation could be like. Having argued these points, I will address how this approach interacts with phonologi...
متن کاملPhonology and Phonetics of English Stress and Vowel Reduction
The reduced energy level of unstressed syllables compromises perceptibility of vowel distinctions, leading to the ‘neutralization’ of some of the distinctions. The difference between the collapse of most vowels into [M] in English, and more restricted effects in other languages is shown to be managed by constraint ranking within OT. The same factors that compromise perceptibility of Vquality ar...
متن کاملThe phonetics and phonology of the Polish vocative chant
The Polish vocative chant is a melody used, as in other languages, to call someone for a routine reason. Three repetitions of 12 Polish names (1-4 syllables long, 3 names per syllable count) were elicited from 16 speakers using a Discourse Completion Task. The results, based on data from 11 speakers (6 female), showed that the contour ends in a small rise (not a plateau as in other languages), ...

A Discourse Completion Task was used to elicit the two melodies from Polish speakers using twelve names from one to four syllables long; there were three names per syllable count, and speakers produced three t...
