On the correlation of acoustic vowel and coda duration in modern Welsh C(C)VC monosyllables
نویسندگان
چکیده
This project investigates the relationship of vowel duration and coda duration in modern Welsh monosyllabic words ending in a simplex consonant. Acoustic data from 16 native speakers from the two major dialectal varieties of Welsh were analysed. We found vowel duration highly predictive by coda duration, taking into account possible influences of phrase prosody, speaker and variety specific deviations. Also, prosodic prominence primarily appears to effect coda duration in Welsh.

The Relationship Between Acoustic Characteristics and Personality Dimensions in Patients With Dysphonia
Objectives: Voice is influenced by personality. However, it is still questionable which acoustic features are influenced by personality traits. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between acoustic characteristics and personality dimensions. Methods: Thirty-three participants with dysphonia and 33 participants without dysphonia were recruited to take part in this cross-sectional st...
متن کاملSyllable-onset acoustic properties associated with syllable-coda voicing
This study investigates durational and spectral variation in syllable-onset /l/s dependent on voicing in the coda. 1560 pairs of (C)lVC monosyllables differing in the voicing of the final stop were read by 4 British English speakers. Onset /l/ was longer before voiced than voiceless codas, and darker (for 3 speakers) as measured by F2 frequency and spectral centre of gravity. Differences due to...

متن کاملVocalic lengthening and medial coda omission in phonological disorders.
BACKGROUND phonological disorders. AIM to verify the occurrence of vocalic lengthening, through acoustic analysis, in a group of 16 children (8 boys and 8 girls) with evolutive phonological disorders (EPD), who did not present in their speech /R/ and /S/ medial codas; to verify the occurrence percentage of lengthening and omission strategies in the two types of coda. METHOD recordings of 16...
متن کاملThe role of contrast maintenance in the temporal structure of the rhyme
We explore the relationship between temporal elements of the VC rhyme as a function of inherent vowel length and coda voicing in Australian English. Our findings for single monosyllabic words suggest that temporal organisation of the rhyme may be modulated by the strength of the durational contrast associated with long/short vowel pairs. Vowels such as /ɐː/ vs /ɐ/ which contrast by duration alo...
