From Phonetics to Phonology and back again

چکیده
ions based ... on the perceptual equipment of the transcriber, classical phoneme theory took them as categories of phonetic description, identifiable in a language-independent way.” (Hb p. 352) Inverting this statement leads to the conclusion that L. takes the non-phone-related instrumental VOT measure as the raw data and a faithful representation of what the speaker really produces. He obviously does not realise that VOT duration is also a considerable, albeit different, abstraction from the time courses of articulatory parameters. For a start, it is phone-like segmental par excellence, lumping the dynamics from stop release to onset of voice phonation together in a building block with a specified duration, which in IPA terminology is “no, weak or strong aspiration”, , or , the only difference being the absence of a time measure. And, strictly speaking, the concept only applies to pre-sonorant position; utterance-finally, e.g. in the English citation form “top” , there is no voice onset following the plosive release. But from the point of view of speech production, this building block is dynamically structured as a sequence of release burst, local friction and cavity friction, with different temporal extensions and acoustic energies of the three parts at labial, dental, alveolar, palatal, velar,

Modelling, Formality and the Phonetics–Phonology Interface
Arguing for an increased cooperation between the fields of formal modelling and phonology, we illustrate the potential of several models from the computational sciences in phonology. We propose the skeleton of a multi-layer formal model from phonology through production and perception back to phonology.
متن کاملPhonetics and Phonology of Transparent Vowels in Hungarian
1. Introduction Vowel harmony is a requirement by which vowels in a certain domain agree in one or more phonetic features. 1 In Hungarian, the feature subject to harmony is the horizontal position of the tongue ([±back]). In many Hungarian roots, vowels in a word are either all front or all back, as in öröm 'joy', város 'city' (umlaut denotes front round vowels, and acute accent denotes length)...
متن کاملOn the Relationship between Phonology and Phonetics (or Why Phonetics Is Not Phonology)
In this presentation, I argue that unifying phonetics and phonology in the grammar has undesirable consequences. Evidence for this position is provided from various sources, but focuses on intonation, an area of linguistic structure that has often been viewed as not requiring an abstract phonological representation.
متن کاملPhonetics and Phonology then , and then , and now 1
Phonetics attempts to describe and understand how speech is produced and perceived; phonology attempts to understand the patterning—in general, the behavior—of speech sounds in particular languages and in all languages. Is phonetics part of phonology? This straightforward question has received various answers at different points in the history of linguistics. In this paper I attempt to document...
متن کاملThe Phonetics-Phonology Interface
To bridge the gap between the dissimilar mechanisms and entities of the phonological grammar and those of the phonetic mechanisms for producing and perceiving speech, the ‘phonetics-phonology interface’ (PPI) has been invoked. In this brief presentation, an introduction to the ICPhS 2003 Symposium on The Phonetics-Phonology Interface, I present an exegesis and taxonomy of the PPI and some citat...
