Aerodynamic Techniques for Phonetic Fieldwork
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper discusses the contribution of aerodynamic techniques to record phonetic data in the field. New tools allow using automatic calibrations procedures as well as quantifying data in a reliable way. This permits addressing research questions such as patterns of variations of phenomena. Analytic methods show how to interpret data from physical principles and integrate those in adequate models.

متن کاملAerodynamic constraints on the production of palatalized trills: the case of the Slavic trilled [r]
Production of a trill depends on several articulatory and aerodynamic constraints. These constraints can be held responsible for various sound changes in Slavic languages which all involve depalatalization or frication of ProtoSlavic palatalized trilled r. As soon as a trill is affected by palatalization, the aerodynamic conditions are changed and the possibility of trill production lowers. Sma...

The language is the key instrument by which we assimilate the culture of our country. As culture is influenced by various factors related to history, traditions, etc. language is also affected by these phenomena. Their influence may differ from one region to another; this can produce specific regional language known as dialects. The dialect encloses lexical, syntactic or phonetic particularitie...
