Relation Between Tone and Vowel Quality in Twi
This study is part of a programmatic research on Twi undertaken at the laboratory of general and experimental phonetics at the Institut de Phonétique de Strasbourg. Twi is a register tone language spoken in Ghana, West Africa. It has a two tone system (high/low) and the downstep phenomena. The aim of this paper is two-fold. First, some phonological aspects of Twi tones are described. Second, pr...
متن کاملPhonation Contrast in Two Register Contrast Languages and Its Influence on Vowel Quality and Tone
This study aims to provide a better understanding of the phonetic realization of phonation contrast in register contrast languages and its interaction with vowels and tones by comparing the production of two Yi languages: Southern Yi and Bo. Results show that 1) Electroglottographic contact quotient is the essential mechanism of the phonation contrast in both languages; 2) Phonation mainly infl...
متن کاملTone-Vowel Interaction in Standard Chinese
The effect of tone production on the position of the articulators (tongue, jaw, lower lip) was examined by means of threedimensional electromagnetic articulography. Most differences found involved Tone 3 relative to the other tones. While /u, a/ showed retraction and lowering this pattern did not extend to all vowels. Head position during vowel production was also analyzed. Even more consistent...
متن کاملDoes vowel intrinsic f0 affect lexical tone?
Diachronic change has often been linked with synchronic instability and the realignment of phonological categories according to fine phonetic detail. For example, the development of tones in some languages is widely believed to have been the result of coarticulatory influences of onset obstruent voicing contrasts on the fundamental frequency (f0) of the following vowel. This is just one example...
متن کاملTonal Effect on Vowel Articulation in a Tone Language
This study investigates the tonal effect on vowel articulation in the Ningbo Chinese, a tone language. Tongue, jaw, and lip articulators were monitored during the production of different types of high and low tones using EMA. Preliminary results suggest that there are articulatory differences between high and low short tones and high and low rising tones, namely a retraction of tongue is detect...
