Vowel duration and consonant lengthening in Djambarrpuyŋu
This paper presents an analysis of acoustic duration of vowels in Djambarrpuyŋu, a Yolŋu Matha language spoken in Arnhem Land, in northern Australia. Djambarrpuyŋu has been described as having phonologically long and short vowels, and there have also been suggestions that consonants following short vowels undergo compensatory lengthening. The aims of this study are to investigate the phonetic n...
متن کاملTone in Connected Discourse
Connected discourse has a number of substantial impacts on tone. First, the ideal form of tone is routinely compromised due to articulatory sluggishness. Second, the underlying tonal target itself is sometimes changed. Third, the surface tonal form is further distorted by other linguistic functions that also change pitch either deliberately or inadvertently. This article discusses how the surfa...
متن کاملIncomplete Vowel Lengthening in Japanese: A First Study
Many phonetic studies have investigated cases of incomplete neutralization, where contrasts that are seemingly neutralized phonologically nevertheless leave some phonetic distinctions. The majority of this previous work, however, focuses on the case of final devoicing in different languages. Building on this body of the literature (see Braver 2013 for an overview), this paper offers a new case ...
متن کاملFarsi vowel compensatory lengthening: an experimental approach
This paper addresses a question concerning phonological operations involved standard Farsi vowel Compensatory Lengthening (CL) due to glottal consonant deletion in syllabic coda. Specifically, I question two current views related to CL process. One view suggests that glottal allophonic weakening is compensated by vowel lengthening. Another view suggests that glottal consonant is deleted, but va...
متن کاملSemantic Representations of Syntactically Marked Discourse Status in Crosslinguistic Perspective
This paper presents suggested semantic representations for different types of referring expressions in the format of Minimal Recursion Semantics and sketches syntactic analyses which can create them compositionally. We explore cross-linguistic harmonization of these representations, to promote interoperability and reusability of linguistic analyses.
