Session 4pSW: Speech Workshop 4pSW3. Voicing Profile of Polish and German Sonorants in Obstruent Clusters
نویسنده
چکیده
Our study aims at defining and analyzing voicing profiles of Polish and German sonorants in particular at tendencies of Polish [r] and German [R] in obstruent clusters. Thanks to the use of digital phonetic tools (IMS German Festival synthesis system) which extracted voicing profiles as a frame-by-frame basis in continuous speech, we were able to study all phonotactically possible contexts of sonorants available in our speech corpuses. Our investigations conducted on Polish and German have shown that in both cases left-phoneme context is crucial in determining voicing probability of following sonorant.

متن کاملVoicing profile of Polish sonorants: [r] in obstruent clusters
This study aims at defining and analyzing voicing profile of Polish sonorant [r] showing the variability of its realizations depending on segmental and prosodic position. Voicing profile is defined as the frame-by-frame voicing status of a speech sound in continuous speech. Word-final devoicing of sonorants is shortly reviewed and analyzed in terms of the conducted corpus-based investigation. W...
متن کاملCUNY Conference on the Segment in Phonology The Phonology and Phonetics of Ambiguity: A Case Study
The behaviour of /v/ which, in languages as diverse as Hebrew, Hungarian and Russian, patterns with both sonorants and obstruents, is a puzzle for phonological theory (Jakobson, 1978; Barkai and Horvath, 1978; Hayes, 1984; Kiparsky, 1985; Padgett, 2002; Kiss and Bárkányi, 2006). In this paper I situate such cases in the broader typology of /v/’s patterning and distribution. A database of over 5...
متن کاملCorpus-Based Investigations on the Phonetics of Consonant Voicing*
Within and across languages the realization of consonant voicing is highly variable. This study aims to identify, and quantify, the segmental, prosodic and positional factors that have an influence on consonant voicing. A widely used acoustic measure of voicing, viz. voice onset time, is known to have disadvantages both in a cross-linguistic framework, where it fails to provide sufficient Infor...
