compensatory lengthening in persian: a perception experiment
نویسندگان
چکیده
this article addresses the perceptual correlates of compensatory lengthening in persian. in a perception experiment, duration, spectral tilt measurements h1-h2 and h1-f1 and f0 were varied in several steps based on the results from a production experiment (sadeghi, 2007). subjects were asked to identify the tokens involving vowel length. results revealed that duration is the most reliable perceptual correlate of vowel length, and that intensity level manipulations provide stronger vowel length cues than f0 differences.

Compensatory lengthening in Persian: the timing of non-modal phonation
Persian has CVGC (or CVCG) sequences (G, a glottal consonant; /h/ or /?/) which become reduced in certain occurrences, with the perceptual effect of the loss of the glottal consonant. The purpose of this study is to provide an acoustic description of the sequences in reduced forms. A production study examined three acoustic measurements of phonation types: H1-H2, H1-F1, and f0. The measurements...
متن کاملCompensatory lengthening
1 A challenge for OT 1.1 Compensatory lengthening as weight conservation Compensatory lengthening occurs when the featural content of a nucleus or moraic coda is deleted, or becomes reaffiliated with a nonmoraic position — typically an onset — and the vacated mora, instead of being lost, is retained with new content (Hayes 1989). Compensatory lengthening is most often triggered by the deletion ...
متن کاملFarsi vowel compensatory lengthening: an experimental approach
This paper addresses a question concerning phonological operations involved standard Farsi vowel Compensatory Lengthening (CL) due to glottal consonant deletion in syllabic coda. Specifically, I question two current views related to CL process. One view suggests that glottal allophonic weakening is compensated by vowel lengthening. Another view suggests that glottal consonant is deleted, but va...
متن کاملPerception of gesturally distinct consonants in Persian
This study explores the sensitivity of the individuals to the residual gestures remaining after the simplification of consonant clusters. Three sets of target stimuli having full, reduced, and zero alveolar gestures along with the control stimuli were used in a perceptual identification task. The results of the experiment showed that subjects reliably distinguished the three target sets with va...
متن کاملThe Perception of Prosodic Focus in Persian
In a previous production experiment, post-focus compression (PFC) of F0 and intensity were found to be present in Persian. It was also shown that F0 and duration were the main correlates of prosodic focus in Persian. However, the perceptual relevance of PFC in Persian was not yet clear. The present paper reports the findings of an experiment on focus perception in Persian. Native speakers of Pe...
متن کاملCompensatory Lengthening and Cluster Reduction in First Language Acquisition: A Comparison of Different Analyses
In this paper we will discuss phonological structure in the light of first language acquisition data obtained in a case study. These data exhibit cluster reduction (henceforth: CR) and compensatory lengthening (henceforth: CL). The main problem here is that for the description and explanation of these different phonological processes, different models seem to be more adequate than others. Worki...
