چکیده
This paper examines the cross-linguistic phonetic interactions in the production of diphthongs by French-English bilingual children. The study aims to investigate (1) bye) and French tautosyllabic vowel-glide combinations (e.g. /aj/ as in baille onetic implementations, and if so, (2) whether bilingual children maintain two separate categories. Using SSANOVA to compare formant contours, the results showed distinct phonetic patterns for each category. The results also indicated that bilingual children with a reduced amount of input in French show overlapping acoustic properties.

An acoustic phonetic analysis of dip
This paper describes the acoustic phonetic properties of diphthongs in Ningbo Chinese. Data from 20 speakers indicate that (1) falling diphthongs have both onset and offset steady states while rising diphthongs only have steady states on the offset element; (2) both falling and rising diphthongs begin from an onset frequency area close to their target vowels, but only the normal-length rising d...
متن کاملVowels and Diphthongs in the Taiyuan Jin Chinese Dialect
On the basis of an acoustic phonetic analysis of monophthongs and diphthongs, this paper describes vowel phonology in the Taiyuan Jin dialect. The results show that Taiyuan has a comparable but different vowel inventory for C(G)V versus C(G)VN syllables. And the vowel contrast is dramatically reduced in checked syllables. The asymmetry between falling and rising diphthongs suggests a dynamic ac...
متن کاملAn articulatory study of posterior nasal diphthongs in Brazilian Portuguese
Nasal diphthongs are quite rare in the world’s languages. This paper analyzes how speakers control articulatory movements for nasal diphthongs in Brazilian Portuguese (BP). Our aim is to characterize the oral-nasal coupling in posterior nasal diphthongs from the Paulistano dialect spoken in the city of Sao Paulo. We show that oral and nasal diphthongs have different tongue contours, besides vel...
متن کاملDiphthongized vowels in the yi county hui Chinese dialect
This paper is an acoustic phonetic description of the vowels and diphthongs in the Yi county dialect and compares the diphthongized vowels with monophthongs and diphthongs in terms of their temporal structures and spectral characteristics. Results show that rising diphthongs have two targets while falling diphthongs only have one dynamic target. Diphthongized vowels occur as an intermediate cat...
متن کاملSession 2aSC: Linking Perception and Production (Poster Session) 2aSC23. Developmental aspects of American English diphthong trajectories in the formant space
Formant trajectories of five American English diphthongs embedded in the target words BAIT (/ei/), BITE (/ai/), POUT (/au/), BOAT (/Ou/), BOYS (/oi/) are investigated in the F1-F2 space as a function of age and gender. Age range considered is from 5 to 18 years. In this report, the focus is given to the differences in position between the start/end points of diphthongs and nine monophthons. Ave...
