The Acoustic Correlates of Tongue Root Vowel Harmony in Even (Tungusic)
In this production study on the endangered Tungusic language Even, we investigate the acoustic correlates of the tongue root contrast that participates in Even vowel harmony. We investigate F1, F2, F3, A1-A2 and durational differences between “advanced” and “retracted” vowels. We found that F1 was consistently increased for “retracted” vowels, and F2 and A1A2 were consistently decreased. For th...
متن کاملAssimilation, Markedness and Inventory Structure in Tongue Root Harmony Systems
This paper is concerned with the related topics of assimilatory dominance and markedness relations in tongue root harmony systems. While a range of views has existed on these topics, much work in recent years adopts the view that either [+ATR] or [-ATR] can function as the dominant value in a language, and that markedness relations are determined in conjunction with tongue body height. That is,...
متن کاملLearning Vowel Harmony
It is possible to construct an unsupervised learning system for vowel harmony, which makes accessible general-isations. Furthermore, such a learning system can be constructed with little built-in knowledge, and, consequently, be applicable to data from a wide range of domains. This paper presents a learning system which fulllls these criteria, and examines the results of applying an implementat...
متن کاملVerifying Vowel Harmony Typologies
This paper applies finite state technologies to verify the typological validity of Turbid Spreading, a theory of vowel harmony in Optimality Theory (OT) (Prince & Smolensky, 1993/2004). Previous analyses of vowel harmony in OT have been prone to typological inconsistencies, predicting grammars that do not occur in natural language (Wilson, 2003). However, attempts to eliminate typological patho...
متن کاملHungarian Vowel Harmony
A system of phonological rules and representations has at least two aims: one is to describe the way in which words (and larger stretches of utterances) are realized in speech, and to state which logically possible streams of speech sounds are legitimate in the language under description – this is part of observational adequacy. The other aim is to capture the pattern of sounds characteristic o...
