Effect of Prosody on Vowel-to-vowel Coarticulation in English
It has been claimed that segments are 'strongly' articulated in two prosodic positions: pitch-accented syllables [4, 5] and domaininitial positions [3, 6, 7, 9]. The current study examines the effect of these two prosodic conditions on resistance to vowel-to-vowel coarticulation, based on acoustic data. This study first shows that vowels are strongly articulated at the edges of prosodic domains...
متن کاملInvestigating the relationship between accentuation, vowel tensity and compensatory shortening
The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between compensatory shortening and coarticulation in German tense and lax vowels and to determine whether this relationship was influenced by prosodic accentuation. While previous studies focussed on temporal vowel reduction due to compensatory shortening, and often found conflicting results, our study extends previous results by includ...
متن کاملVowel devoicing/deletion in English and German*
This paper presents and discusses data on vowel devoicing in English from Ph.D. research being carried out under Sarah Hawkins at Cambridge, and more recently with Klaus Kohler at the Institut für Phonetik und digitale Sprachverarbeitung in Kiel; and data on vowel deletion in German from the Kiel Corpus of Spontaneous Speech (IPDS 1995, 1996) reported most recently by Pétur Helgason and Klaus K...
متن کاملVowel Duration in Scottish English Speaking Children
In most English accents vowel length is approximately 50% greater before a voiced consonant than before its voiceless cognate (the ‘Voicing Effect’). In Scottish English it is conditioned by the ‘Scottish Vowel Length Rule’. The lengthening environments of this rule overlap with those of the Voicing Effect. The phonetic details of the Scottish Vowel Length Rule and its relationship with the Voi...
متن کاملLexical Effects on English Vowel Laryngealization
It is known that lexical statistics can influence coarticulation. For example, more confusable words (i.e. those with a low frequency relative to their phonological neighbors) have been shown to exhibit more nasal and vowel-to-vowel coarticulation than less confusable words in English and French. In this paper, we give evidence that another type of coarticulation, laryngealized phonation on vow...
