A study on nasal coda los in continuous speech
نویسنده
چکیده
In this study, statistical analysis is used to investigate nasal coda loss in spoken Standard Chinese. In order to find out the factors that influence nasal coda loss, we take into account the segmental and supra-segmental features and their interactions. We find out that articulation manner, post nasal coda boundary and tone influenced the nasal coda loss significantly, the interaction between tone and stress, tone and post boundary, articulation manner and tone are significant too.

Use of complex phonological patterns in speech processing: evidence from Korean
Korean has a very complex phonology, with many interacting alternations. In a coronal-/i/ sequence, depending on the type of phonological boundary present, alternations such as palatalization, nasal insertion, nasal assimilation, coda neutralization, and intervocalic voicing can apply. This paper investigates how the phonological patterns of Korean affect processing of morphemes and words. Past...
متن کاملProduction and Perception of Nasal Coda Mergence in Hohhot Dialect: From a Prosodic Point of View
The present paper conducts two experiments on the nasal coda performance in Hohhot dialect from a prosodic point of view. In the production experiment, acoustic characteristics of nasal codas in Hohhot dialect are shown in comparison with that in Mandarin Chinese in the dimensions of duration, fundamental frequency and intensity, which reveal that Hohhot dialect speakers cannot produce the nasa...
متن کاملThe emergence of nasal velar codas in Brazilian Portuguese: an rt-MRI study
Real-time MRI has become an increasingly useful tool in articulatory studies, especially in examining posterior regions of the vocal tract. Previous work on Brazilian Portugese has shown the emergence of coda consonants following word-final nasal vowels, though this has been limited to the discussion of front vowels and coda emergence in anterior regions of the vocal tract. We present rt-MRI ev...
متن کاملAn Acoustic and Perceptual Study of Vowel Nasality in Taiwanese
The contrast between nasal vowels and oral vowels is phonemic in Taiwanese, however, their distributions are not entirely contrastive. For example, nasal nuclei do not occur when the coda is a nasal. It is analyzed that historically the nasal feature of the nasal coda spreads leftward to the nucleus, when the vocalic nasalization is rephonologized, the nasal coda is lost. Therefore, it has been...
متن کاملThe Efficacy of a Protocolized Nursing Care on Nasal Skin Breakdown in Preterm Neonates Receiving Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure
Background: Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) is an effective method of ventilation in newborns with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). Using an appropriate nasal skin care protocol is identical to prevention or reduction of nasal skin breakdown in those who receive NCPAP. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of an evidence-based clinical care protocol on nasal sk...
