Geminates and Long Consonants in Jordanian Arabic

International Journal of Linguistics, 2011
This paper aims at considering the phonological status of word final geminates in Jordanian Arabic (JA) within Optimality Theory (OT). A ban on trimoraic syllables in the language triggers a process of degemination. A crucial distinction is made between geminates and long consonants based on moraicity. Geminates are moraic while long consonants are not.

Consonant gemination in West Greenlandic

2019
This thesis proposes an analysis in Harmonic Serialism of a cross-morpheme consonant gemination process in West Greenlandic. Central considerations to the analysis are surface restrictions on geminate consonants as well as general consonant behavior at morpheme boundaries. The gemination process at hand involves regressive consonant assimilation when a

The Phonetics and Phonology of Geminate Consonants

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2017
Geminate consonants, also known as long consonants, appear in many languages in the world, and how they contrast with their short counterparts, or singletons (e.g. /tt/ vs. /t/), is an important topic that features in most linguistics and phonology textbooks.

Consonant gemination is not usually considered to be an important feature of varieties of langue d’oïl spoken in northern France. Vouvantais, spoken in the Poitou region of France, is unusual in presenting a wide series of processes that have led to the development of secondary gemination. We outline the development and status of each process.

Shoshoni geminate consonants: description and analysis

This thesis is an analysis of geminate consonant segments in Shoshoni, a member of the Numic family of Uto-Aztecan languages. Shoshoni dialects exhibit a series of consonant segments described as geminate or geminating segments contrastively characterized as a) being twice as long as initial stops, b) "not phonetically geminate, but rather very tense ...

Phonetic Perspectives on West Germanic Consonant Gemination

American Journal of Germanic Linguistics and Literatures, 1998
The distribution of geminates resulting from North and West Germanic consonant gemination suggests that velar obstruents were the segments most favored by the change, whilerwas least favored and blocked the operation altogether. In an attempt to account for this behavior, the phonetic characteristics of these sounds are examined in the context of the ...

Production of geminate consonants in Russian

2017
Typology of geminate consonants demonstrates a number of contextual and manner restrictions the origin of which is not well understood. The present study examines the hypothesis that geminates are restricted to certain contexts, such as intervocalic, and certain manners of articulation, such as obstruents, because the durational differences between ...
