Contextual Neutralization of Vowel Length: Evidence from Dutch
Based on recent experimental studies of word-final devoicing in languages like German and Catalan which show production differences between the neutralized and nonneutralized consonants., i t has been claimed that phonological neutralization is' incomplete'. It seems, however, that this claim is quite premature given that most studies have considered only the neutralizing phenomenon of word-fin...
متن کاملThe Robustness of Incomplete Neutralization in German
“Incomplete neutralization” (IN) refers to the finding that subphonemic differences distinguish segments in a neutralizing context. Previous findings on IN have often been called into question because of methodological problems. We conducted a production and a perception study to address these previous concerns and to investigate the robustness of IN in German final stop devoicing. Underlying v...
متن کاملTwo sources of voicing neutralization in Lithuanian
This study compares two processes that result in voicing neutralization in Lithuanian: regressive voicing assimilation in obstruent clusters and final devoicing of obstruents. Acoustic data is analyzed to assess the behaviour of three acoustic cues to obstruent voicing (i.e. closure and preceding vowel duration and voicing during closure) in both neutralizing environments. The results show that...
متن کاملIncomplete neutralization via paradigm uniformity and weighted constraints
Incomplete neutralization occurs when two underlying segments become phonologically neutralized, but do not surface as phonetically identical. This phenomenon presents a challenge for traditional modular feed-forward grammatical architectures (Chomsky & Halle 1968, Bermúdez-Otero 2007) in which only the phonological output—not the phonological input—can influence phonetic realization. If two so...
متن کاملTitle : The implications for speech perception of incomplete neutralization of final devoicing in
We investigated the perceptibility of stop voicing in a domain-final neutralizing context in German that according to various phonological models is completely neutralized in favour of the voiceless category but that according to various empirical studies is distinguishable phonetically. A primary aim was to determine whether acoustic cues that were available for the stop voicing distinction we...
