چکیده

Indigenous Australian languages are said to show remarkable stability in C1C2 sequences with no evidence of assimilation of place of articulation. An EPG corpus of Warlpiri was examined to test the extent of spatio-temporal modification in a series of nasal and lateral/oral stop clusters that differed in place of articulation. There was evidence of limited anticipatory coarticulation in nasal clusters. Laminal palatal sonorants also exerted the strongest carryover coarticulatory effects on the following consonant although place contrasts were maintained showing that the extent of coarticulation (both spatially and temporally) is somewhat constrained by the phonological structures of the language.

An electro-palatographic study of consonant sequences in Iwaidja

An EPG (electro-palatographic) corpus of Iwaidja consonant sequences was examined to investigate global consonant timing patterns and the extent of coarticulation and coproduction in nasal+stop and lateral+stop clusters. As observed in other Australian languages (e.g. Warlpiri), there was limited anticipatory coarticulation in certain heterorganic sequences and evidence of coarticulatory resist...

Cross-dialectal differences in nasal coarticulation in American English

We use acoustic measurements from spontaneous corpora data to compare the social conditioning of nasal coarticulation across two American English dialects: Mid-Atlantic (Philadelphia Neighborhood Corpus) and Midlands (Buckeye Corpus). Each dialect is represented by 40 speakers stratified by age and sex. An acoustic measure of nasal coarticulation is calculated using the within-speaker by-vowel ...

Lateral Nasal Wall Respiratory Epithelial Adenomatoid Hamartoma (REAH): A Diagnostic Conundrum

Introduction: This study aims to report a rare case of a respiratory epithelial adenomatoid hamartoma (REAH) of the lateral nasal wall that had initially presented as a fungating mass, similar to that of a sinonasal malignancy, and its complete removal from the lateral nasal wall.   Case Report: We report the case of a 58-year-old woman who presented to us with a chief complaint of recurrent ri...

Vowel-to-vowel coarticulation in Catalan VCV sequences.

Electropalatographic and acoustical data on vowel-to-vowel (V-to-V) coarticulatory effects were obtained for Catalan VCV sequences, with the consonants representing different degrees of tongue-dorsum contact (dorsopalatal approximant [j], alveolo-palatal nasal [eta], alveolo-palatal lateral [lambda], and alveolar nasal [n]). Results show that the degree of V-to-V coarticulation in linguopalatal...

Comparison of the Effects of Spreader Graft and Overlapping Lateral Crural Technique on Rhinoplasty by Rhinomanometry

BACKGROUND Nasal valve collapse and especially internal nasal valve insufficiency is a common cause of nasal airway obstruction. This study compares the effects of spreader graft and overlapping lateral crural technique on rhinoplasty by rhinomanometry. METHODS Fifty patients were randomly assigned into two groups and underwent spreader graft or overlapping lateral crural technique. Objectiv...
