Reversibility in vowel systems: When prosody succeeds and when it fails
نویسندگان
چکیده
Résumé: Les langues ont des exemplaires extrêmes [i a u], intercalant d'autres voyelles sur la périphérie [i e a o u], pas au centre, conformément à notre théorie, la TDF. La variation des trois extrêmes [i a u] a pour effe t, soit de remplir la périphérie par un nouveau prototype (le [e] en arabe dialectal); soit de retrouver un extrême disparu (le [i] du kayardild, une des langues d'Australie défectives en voyelles hautes [i u]). Ce sont deux changements —réversible vs. irréversible— qui contribuent pour finir au maintien des voyelles extrêmes.

The development and evolution of any system–person, organization–nation depends on how the system succeeds to bridge the gap between what the system knows and what the system does (with the knowledge). We call this the gap between knowing and doing or the knowing-doing gap. If the system does not do what it knows, it will lose out in competition with other systems, its relative performance in...
متن کاملAssimilation of Final Low Back Vowel in Eghlidian Dialect
In this article, the low back vowel /A/ in word-final positions in Eghlidian dialect, one of Persian dialects, is studied. This vowel is represented phonetically as [A], [o] and [@] in different phonetic environments. Therefore many words were collected via interviewing ten native speakers so that these different alternant forms can be accounted for appropriately. Since one of the authors of th...
متن کاملEffect of Prosody on Vowel-to-vowel Coarticulation in English
It has been claimed that segments are 'strongly' articulated in two prosodic positions: pitch-accented syllables [4, 5] and domaininitial positions [3, 6, 7, 9]. The current study examines the effect of these two prosodic conditions on resistance to vowel-to-vowel coarticulation, based on acoustic data. This study first shows that vowels are strongly articulated at the edges of prosodic domains...

متن کاملReversibility of Interacting Fleming-Viot Processes with Mutation, Selection, and Recombination
Reversibility of the Fleming-Viot process with mutation, selection, and recombination is well understood. In this paper, we study the reversibility of a system of Fleming-Viot processes that live on a countable number of colonies interacting with each other through migrations between the colonies. It is shown that reversibility fails when both migration and mutation are non-trivial.
