The influence of prominence on the production of plosives in Italian
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study explores prosodic strengthening in the production of fortis plosives in Italian as a function of four structural levels of prominence, reflecting differing focal conditions (in order of increasing prominence: postfocal, broad focus, narrow focus and contrastive narrow focus). The overall analysis indicated that for lingual consonants closure duration was the most important acoustic parameter, differing not only when comparing the most diverging levels, contrastive and postfocal, but also when comparing the broad focus and postfocal conditions. For the labial plosive, /p/, the parameter that was affected most by the level of prominence was burst energy. Unsurprisingly, given the lack of aspiration in the language, there was no consistent effect on VOT.

Low calorie salad dressings are oil-in-water emulsion products, in which the oil content has been substantially decreased. This decrease, however, is accompanied by reduction in the viscosity hence, an undesirable texture. To overcome this, oil replacers are generally used. In this research, maltodextrin and xanthan gum were used to replace part of the oil in the production of two kinds of sala...
