Tonal Coarticulation in Northern Vietnamese
This experiment shows that in Northern Vietnamese (NV) progressive tone coarticulation is stronger than anticipatory coarticulation.

متن کاملThe social life of phonetics and phonology
In this article we define and illustrate sociophonetic variation within speech, highlighting both its pervasiveness and also the relatively minor role it has played in the development of phonetic and phonological theory.

متن کاملGradience in contextual tonal realization processes: An instrumental study of Nanjing Chinese
This acoustic study has investigated contextual tonal variations in 125 disyllabic words produced by six native speakers of Nanjing Chinese, with five phonemic tones. Three types of tonal variation were observed in the data: neutralizing sandhi, nonneutralizing sandhi and tonal coarticulation. Comparison between the three types of tonal variation suggests that tone sandhi may be rooted in phone...
