English World-Wide. A Journal of Varieties of English, 2017
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.

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.

Perception of Canadian French rhotic vowels
Proceedings of Meetings on Acoustics, 2013Some speakers of Canadian French produce words such as pneu, un, and coeur with rhotic-sounding vowels similar to English /ɹ/ (Dumas 1972). Articulatory imaging [Mielke (2011)] shows that they are produced with bunched and retroflex tongue postures and low F3, much like English /ɹ/.

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

Abstract Rhotic metathesis is a characteristic feature of the northwest Middle Indo-Aryan dialect called Gandhari. At the early stage, in the Aśokan rock edicts, rC is eliminated by metathesis with either the preceding vowel or the following consonant, resulting in Cr if not simplified by r-loss.

These are: (a) Kalasha, a language with a rhotic vowel for each non-rhotic vowel; (b) Serrano, a language with half the number rhotic vowels as it has non-rhotic vowels; (c) Yurok, a language with a single rhotic vowel, in a different place to all the non-

Rhotics in Shipibo-Konibo Spanish
2020Abstract This chapter presents a phonetic study of the trill /r/ and the tap /ɾ/ in Shipibo-Konibo Spanish, examines their characteristics, and compares them to those found in monolingual Peruvian Amazonian Spanish. The study shows that L2 Shipibo-Konibo Spanish is not a uniform phenomenon, but rather is comprised of different varieties defined by ...
