The Partially Denasalized Bilabial Plosive in Southern Min: Comparison to [mb] in Amdo Tibetan
نویسنده
چکیده
This pilot study focuses on the biphasic plosive [ m b] in Southern Min. Acoustic analysis suggests that its nasal portion tends to be weak in nasality (nasal flow) but tighter in integrity (not readily separable from the plosive portion) in comparison with prenasalized plosives described in the literature. On the other hand, the [mb] in Amdo Tibetan is similar to known prenasalized plosives in other languages, which allows a preliminary comparison of [ m b] in Southern Min with the prenasalized plosive [mb] in Amdo.

Influence de l'expansion des joues lors de la production d'une plosive bilabiale (Influence of the cheeks expansion during bilabial plosive production) [in French]
Influence of the cheeks expansion during bilabial plosive production This experimental study highlights the influence of expansion of the cheeks during the production of bilabial plosives. The closure of the lips, before the plosive, causes an increase in intra-oral pressure. The assumption suggested in this paper is that the increase of oral cavity volume, as a result of the intra-oral pressur...
متن کاملPhysical modeling of vowel-bilabial plosive sound production
Downstream of the vocal folds, it is often assumed that all the kinetic energy of the glottal jet is dissipated by turbulence. Although this assumption is reasonable for normal voicing, there are many configurations for which a constriction or even an occlusion of the vocal tract occurs and leads to a significant pressure recovery. Such a phenomenon occurs during the production of vowel-bilabia...
متن کاملPrestopped bilabial trills in Sangtam
This paper discusses the phonetic and phonological features of a typologically rare prestopped bilabial trill and some associated evolving sound changes in the phonology of Sangtam, a Tibeto-Burman language of central Nagaland, north-east India. Prestopped bilabial trills were encountered in two dozen words of a 500-item corpus and found to be in phonemic contrast with all other members of the ...
متن کاملInteraction between Lexical Tone and Labial Movement in Cantonese Bilabial Plosive Production
The present study investigates the possible acoustic-articulatory interaction during production of Cantonese plosives at different lexical tones. Using electromagnetic articulography (EMA), movement of the jaw, and upper and lower lips was measured during production of word-initial bilabial plosives at six lexical tones. Preliminary data reveals a strong relationship between aspiration and lip ...

The International Standard ISO 24610 defines a schema of how to encode feature structures and their declarations in XML. The main goal of this standard is to provide a format for the exchange of feature structures and feature system declarations between applications. This paper gives an overview of the elements of the standard and sketches its development and some of the design decisions involv...
