An acoustic and articulatory study of rhotic and rhotic-nasal vowels of Kalasha
Journal of Phonetics, 2021Abstract Kalasha, an endangered Dardic language (Indo-Aryan), is described as having series of retroflex and retroflex-nasal vowels, each with five contrasting vowel qualities. This study provides the first articulatory description of these vowels using lingual ultrasound imaging, showing that the vowels described as retroflex are produced not with ...

Rhotics in Standard Scottish English
English World-wide, 2021Abstract The present study investigates rhotics in Standard Scottish English (SSE). Drawing on an auditory analysis of formal speeches given in the Scottish parliament by 49 speakers (members of parliament and the general public), it examines whether an underlying rhotic standard exists for SSE speakers from all over ...

Transcribing rhotics in normal and disordered speech
Clinical Linguistics and Phonetics, 2017The IPA's comparative lack of dedicated symbols for sonorant consonants as compared to obstruents presents some difficulties for clinical phoneticians. Among these are the ways of transcribing apical versus bunched approximant-/r/, the bilabial approximant realisation of target approximant-/r/, and fricative rhotic realisations of approximant-/r/ in ...

We might expect Brunei English to be non-rhotic, as the Englishes of both Singapore and Malaysia are non-rhotic and Brunei has strong ethnic, historical, economic and cultural ties with those two countries. The current study compares the R-colouring of read data from female undergraduates in Brunei and Singapore, and it finds that the Brunei data is ...

Previous studies of Cajun French (CF) report a shift in pre-rhotic vowel quality (Conwell & Juilland 1963, Blainey 2015, Dubois & Noetzel 2005, Salmon 2007, Lyche, Meisenburg & Gess 2012). This is unsurprising, in that such behavior is reported for numerous Francophone varieties, but prior work on rhotics in CF has been largely ...

AbstractRhoticity is highly variable across English varieties. Traditionally, descriptions of English have distinguished between “rhotic” and “non-rhotic” varieties. However,Harris’s (2013)recent description of three core rhotic systems (R1, R2 and R3) demonstrates that this dichotomy is overly simplistic.

Rhotic representation: problems and proposals
Journal of the International Phonetic Association, 2003Starting with an r that was already ambiguous, the IPA added new symbols and diacritics without arriving at a comprehensive treatment of rhotics. The results have been ad hoc solutions and potential confusion for languages such as Spanish, in which these need to be distinguished. A few modifications of the IPA diacritic system would suffice in order to
