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 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 کاملTone sequences with conflicting fundamental pitch and timbre changes are heard differently by musicians and nonmusicians.
An Auditory Ambiguity Test (AAT) was taken twice by nonmusicians, musical amateurs, and professional musicians. The AAT comprised different tone pairs, presented in both within-pair orders, in which overtone spectra rising in pitch were associated with missing fundamental frequencies (F0) falling in pitch, and vice versa. The F0 interval ranged from 2 to 9 semitones. The participants were instr...
متن کاملVowel-to-vowel coarticulation in Catalan VCV sequences.
Electropalatographic and acoustical data on vowel-to-vowel (V-to-V) coarticulatory effects were obtained for Catalan VCV sequences, with the consonants representing different degrees of tongue-dorsum contact (dorsopalatal approximant [j], alveolo-palatal nasal [eta], alveolo-palatal lateral [lambda], and alveolar nasal [n]). Results show that the degree of V-to-V coarticulation in linguopalatal...
