Changes in vowel velocity profile with vowel-consonant overlap
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report the effect of a coronal consonant constriction on the movement of a preceding but temporally overlapping /a/. The dependent measure is the shape of the /a/ velocity profile and the independent variable is the temporal overlap of /a/ with the subsequent coronal constriction. We show that the /a/ velocity profile develops a shallower peak and a fatter right tail as the temporal overlap of /a/ with the subsequent coronal increases. These results challenge the idea that anticipatory consonant-to-vowel coarticulation is tightly localized in time and space by showing that anticipatory consonant-to-vowel coarticulation has a longer temporal window and greater spatial extent than originally thought.

Assimilation 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 کاملThe Effect of Stress and Speech Rate on Vowel Coarticulation in Catalan Vowel-Consonant-Vowel Sequences.
PURPOSE The goal of this study was to ascertain the effect of changes in stress and speech rate on vowel coarticulation in vowel-consonant-vowel sequences. METHOD Data on second formant coarticulatory effects as a function of changing /i/ versus /a/ were collected for five Catalan speakers' productions of vowel-consonant-vowel sequences with the fixed vowels /i/ and /a/ and consonants: the ap...
متن کاملOnset-vowel timing as a function of coarticulation resistance: Evidence from articulatory data
We recorded articulatory data to investigate the influence of consonantal coarticulation resistance on consonant-vowel timing in Polish onset clusters. While recent studies found different onset-vowel timing patterns depending on the position of the sibilant within the cluster, it is widely unknown how onset-vowel timing interacts with different degrees of coarticulation resistance of the vowel...
متن کاملArticulatory mechanisms underlying incremental compensatory vowel shortening in German
The main aim of this study was to investigate the articulatory mechanisms underlying incremental vowel shortening in German. Five speakers were recorded reading sentences with target words that contained either simplex (one consonant) or complex (two consonants) onsets and codas, respectively. Acoustic measurements showed that both onset and coda clusters induce vowel shortening. Two potential ...
متن کاملTemporal, Spectral Evidence of Devoiced Vowels in Korean
Vowel devoicing is a phenomenon that is reported to occur in many languages such as Japanese, Parisian and Montreal French, Turkish and English. This paper investigates vowel devoicing in Korean. A devoiced vowel does not exhibit characteristic vocal tract resonances, and instead is realized as a long interval of aspiration or frication following consonant release, resulting in non-distinct seg...
