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 ...

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 ...

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.

Systemic contrast and Catalan rhotics
The Linguistic Review, 2009It is argued here that an appealing approach to the distribution and behavior of rhotics in Catalan can be had by appealing to the maintenance, and the perceptual goodness, of contrast. Since the Catalan facts are very similar to those of Spanish, the relevance of these ideas to Spanish is also discussed.

How Rhoticity Became /r/-sandhi
Language, 2005It is well known that nearly all nonrhotic dialects of English exhibit linking and/or intrusive /r/. What is not known are the details about how linking and intrusive /r/ emerge. This article provides the first empirical data on the diachronic relationship between the decline of rhoticity and the emergence of /r/-sandhi in a dialect of English.
