This study investigates the glottalization of Taiwan Min checked tones with CV[p, t, k, ʔ] syllable structures. The results of Electroglottography (EGG) and acoustic measures showed that above 80% of [ʔ] and below 15% of [p, t, k] were deleted. Codas were most often realized as energy damping during the vowel final portion. Full stop closures were observed significantly more often among Tone 3 ...

The purpose of this article is to determine the phonemic status of [h] and [ʔ] in the Sistani dialect of Miyankangi. Auditory tests applied to the relevant data show that [ʔ] occurs mainly in word-initial position, where it stands in free variation with Ø. The only place where [h] is heard is in Arabic and Persian loanwords, and only in the pronunciation of some speakers who are educated and/or...

An investigation of phonological phenomena involving glottal stops and vowels shows that the presence of glottal stops influences the quality of the surrounding vowels: the vowels are lowered (Rose, 1996). For example, in Klallam (a Coast Salish language), non-low vowels /i u ə/ are lowered to [ε o a], respectively, when followed by [ʔ]: /p’íх w ŋ/ is pronounced as [p’εʔх w ŋ] ‘overflow’/‘overf...

The phonotactic system is one of the interesting phonological systems to explain because it that regulates existence, abilities, and inability phoneme combinations a language. To end, this article describes Kaur language which includes (1) cluster (2) consonant series system. data in study were sourced from six key informants who domiciled Regency (Bengkulu Province) with criteria being between...

The English phoneme /t/ is realized as [th] wordinitially ([th]ip), but in many dialects it exhibits free variation word-finally (ba[t] ~ ba[ʔt̚] ~ ba[ʔ]). We examined whether listeners construct false memories at different rates for these two different types of words. We presented listeners with lists of spoken phonological neighbors, such as lip, tin, type... (neighbors of tip) and fat, ban, b...

This acoustical and Electroglottography (EGG) study investigates the effect of coda deletion and co-articulatory phasing on vowels and final coda stops, [p t k ʔ], in Taiwan Min checked tones 3 and 5 syllables. Vowel duration, f0, spectral tilt (H1*-A3*), cepstral peak prominence (CPP) and glottal contact quotient (CQ_H) were analyzed. Compensatory lengthening, f0 lowering and increasing period...

En el marco de los debates abiertos sobre la distribución oclusiva glotal, su estatus fonológico y realización en superficie, así como glotalización lenguas amerindias, este trabajo hace foco familia mataguaya hablada Gran Chaco, Sudamérica. Desde una perspectiva filogenética, se defiende hipótesis serie eyectiva protomataguayo, postulan argumentos para reconstrucción /*ʔ/ protofonema, entre cu...

In this paper, I describe and analyze reduplication in A’ingae (ISO 639-3: con), an understudied endangered Amazonian isolate. The reduplicant is a suffix -ʔσ, where ʔ fixed segment σ syllable copied from the right edge of word. Only disyllabic roots can be reduplicated, root parsed as trochaic foot surface form. If second diphthong, it undergoes monophthongization base. model these properties ...

This article presents a sociolinguistic investigation of a rapidly expanding innovation in the UK, glottal replacement, in a variety spoken in northeast Scotland. Quantitative analysis of the form shows a dramatic change in apparent time: from a minority variant in the older generation to a full 90 per cent use in the younger generation. Further analysis of the constraints on use provide a deta...
