Rhoticity in Cajun French

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2017

Transcribing rhotics in normal and disordered speech

Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics, 2017
The IPA's comparative lack of dedicated symbols for sonorant consonants as compared to obstruents presents some difficulties for clinical phoneticians.
