Language Variation and Change, 2019
This paper investigates the California Vowel Shift, previously characterized as a chain shift, in communities across California's Central Valley. An incremental apparent time analysis of 72 Californians’ vowel spaces provides no clear evidence of a ...

AbstractIncluding brief notes on the theory and nature of sound-change and with attention to evidence of phonologization, this chapter surveys sound-changes attested in the history of indigenous languages of the Australian continent, restricting coverage to languages which are classed tentatively as belonging to the (pan)Australian phylogenetic group ...

Language and Speech, 2018
Both segmental and suprasegmental properties of the South Kyungsang dialect of Korean have changed under the influence of standard Seoul Korean. This study examines how such sound change affects acoustic cues to the three-way laryngeal contrast among ...

Mergers in Bardi: contextual probability and predictors of sound change
Linguistics Vanguard, 2018A crucial question for historical linguistics has been why some sound changes happen but not others. Recent work on the foundations of sound change has argued that subtle distributional facts about segments in a language, such as functional load, play a ...

Patterns of the Mainstream Sound Change in a Liminal Region: Low Back Merger in Washington DC
Journal of English Linguistics, 2018This study investigates the low back vowel merger (lot-thought merger) of African American and European American speakers in Washington DC. The study aims to follow up with the previous investigation by Labov et al.

Areal sound change and the distributional typology of affricate richness in Eurasia
Studies About Languages, 2018This paper makes a contribution to phonological typology by investigating the distribution of affricate-rich languages in Eurasia. It shows that affricate-rich and affricate-dense languages cluster areally within Eurasia and have area-specific histories.

A Multiple Leaks’ Localization Method in a Pipeline Based on Change in the Sound Velocity
IEEE Transactions on Instrumentation and Measurement, 2020This article considers a multiple leaks’ localization method in fluid pipelines based on the change in the sound velocity of an ultrasonic signal. First, the sound velocity of an ultrasonic signal is denoised by wavelet packet analysis (WPA). Second, the

The study of regular sound change reveals numerous types of exceptionality. The type studied here has the profile of regular sound change, but appears to be inhibited where homophony would result. The most widely cited cases of this phenomenon are reviewed and new cases presented.
