Experimental Phonetics and Phonology in Indo-Aryan & European Languages

Journal of Language and Cultural Education, 2018
Phonetics and phonology are very interesting areas of Linguistics, and are interrelated. They are based on the human speech system, speech perception, native speakers’ intuition, and vocalic and consonantal systems of languages spoken in this world ...

Phonetics in Phonology and Phonology in Phonetics

, 2012
In this paper, I explore the relationships between phonology and phonetics and argue that there are two distinct ways that they interact. A distinction needs to be drawn between the way phonetics affects phonology–phonetics in phonology, and the way phonology affects or drives phonetics–phonology in phonetics.

Assimilation of Voicing in Czech Speakers of English: The Effect of the Degree of Accentedness [PDF]

, 2014
Czech and English are languages which differ with respect to the implementation of voicing. Unlike in English, there is a considerable agreement between phonological (systemic) and phonetic (actual) voicing in Czech, and, more importantly, the two ...

Effective When Distinctive: The Role of Phonetic Similarity in Nested Dependency Learning Across Preschool Years

Language Learning, EarlyView.
Abstract Parallel tracking of distant relations between speech elements, so‐called nonadjacent dependencies (NADs), is crucial in language development but computationally demanding and acquired only in late preschool years. As processing of single NADs is facilitated when dependent elements are perceptually similar, we investigated how phonetic ...

What’s wrong with being a rhotic?

Glossa, 2019
The class of rhotics is subject to extensive variation, and a reliable phonetic correlate has not been found. This variation is also why identifying a segment as a rhotic in an unknown language is not a trivial matter.

Postalveolar fricatives in Slavic languages as retroflexes [PDF]

, 2002
The present study poses the question on what phonetic and phonological grounds postalveolar fricatives in Polish can be analyzed as retroflex and whether postalveolar fricatives in other Slavic languages are retroflex as well.

Non-native contrasts in Tongan loans [PDF]

, 2019
We present three case studies of marginal contrasts in Tongan loans from English, working with data from three speakers. Although Tongan lacks contrasts in stress or in CC vs.

Seeing the Speaker's Face Enhances Second Language Shadowing: Neural and Behavioral Evidence

Language Learning, EarlyView.
Abstract This functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study investigated how facial cues influence second language (L2) shadowing among 42 Japanese learners of English. Participants completed four conditions that varied by task type (listening vs. shadowing) and visual input (face vs. mosaic).

Laryngeal stop systems in contact: connecting present-day acquisition findings and historical contact hypotheses [PDF]

, 2011
This article examines the linguistic forces at work in present-day second language and bilingual acquisition of laryngeal contrasts, and to what extent these can give us insight into the origin of laryngeal systems of Germanic voicing languages like ...
