Prosodic structure has been assumed to serve as a frame for articulation, so that phonetic shaping of abstract phonological representations is fine-tuned as a function of the prosodic system of the language. The intricate relationship between phonetics and prosodic structure has been explored in the literature under the rubric of the phonetics-prosody interface. This paper reviews various aspec...

A plea is made for a new paradigm of 'phonologycoming-out-of-the-lab', built on function, time, and the listener as fundamental pillars of speech communication.

Articulatory phonetics is a linguistic study that focuses on the aspects of sound produced through human speech organs. Without organ, language sounds cannot be produced. Physiological Aspects/Physiological known as articulatory and auditory explain how organs body function or play role in producing are received by sensory apparatus. The method used this research descriptive qualitative with li...

Clear differences found in alignment enable separation of Moroccan Arabic from the two other dialects: a) values of the F0 valley differed significantly, with Moroccan Arabic showing a later synchronisation than Kuwaiti Arabic a...
