Slippin’ and Slidin’ on the Sonority Scale
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we will consider a widely attested process: LIQUID-GLIDE ALTERNATION, a phenomenon that can be observed in many areas of phonological research, such as studies of disordered language, historical sound changes and nonpathological speech errors and also in child language. You can see examples of this process in first language acquisition data from different languages in (1). Liquids, such as /l/ and /r/, can be realized as glides [w] and [j].

A Phonetic Basis for the Sonority of [X]
Sonority is a property of segments that relates to phonotactics and syllable shape but whose nature remains in dispute. Clements (1990) uses this property to define the order that segments may occur in a syllable in what he calls the sonority sequencing principle (SSP), which says that “between any member of a syllable and the syllable peak, only sounds of higher sonority rank are permitted.” H...

In this study the distribution of sonority in syllable structure of Persian language is investigated. According to Sonority Sequencing Principle (SSP) sonority is minimum at the Onset, increases to maximum at the nucleus and decreases to last consonant of Coda. The results show that with some exceptions Persian language generally obeys SSP. The results also show that sonorant consonants are occ...
متن کاملSonority profile and temporal organization of clusters: evidence from Russian
It is well-known that consonant clusters obeying the sonority sequencing principle are universally preferred over clusters violating it; what is less clear is the status of sonority violating clusters in languages that have them. These clusters could betray their typological " markedness " by differing from sonority-obeying clusters in the same language. However, it may actually be the case tha...
متن کاملSonority Contours in Speech Recognition
for their invaluable input into this paper. All errors are my own. The sonority scale that ranks phonemes according to relative " loudness " has long played a significant role in the fields of Phonology and Historical Linguistics, yet it is conspicuously absent from the speech recognition literature. In this preliminary study using the Hoosier Mental Lexicon, it was found that approximately hal...
متن کاملSonority variation in Stochastic Optimality Theory: Implications for markedness hierarchies
Constraints based on the sonority scale and other markedness hierarchies have been formalized in two different ways: as scale-partition constraint families, with a universally fixed ranking, and as stringency constraint families, where the constraints stand in subset relations and their ranking is not universal. We identify a new empirical domain where these two approaches make different predic...
