Limits on gestural reorganization following vowel deletion: The case of Tokyo Japanese
Laboratory Phonology, 2023 The coordination of gestures in consonant clusters differs across languages and hence must be a learned aspect of linguistic knowledge. Precisely pinning down the coordination relation used in a particular language, or for a particular consonant cluster ...

Consonant mutation in Seereer-Siin
Studies in African Linguistics, 1994 This study presents a description and analysis of stem-initial consonant mutation within the nominal system of Seereer-Siin, a West Atlantic language closely related to Fula. Two distinct mutation patterns are isolated.

Similarity Avoidance and Final Stop Deletion in Consonantal Clusters of Persian within Optimality Theory Framework [PDF]
̒Ilm-i Zabān, 2018 Similarity avoidance- as a perceptual factor- is the basis of the phonotactics of a variety of languages. Stop consonants are considered to be ideal candidates for deletion as they have intrinsically weak perceptual cues, especially in final position ...

The Development of Labial Clusters in the Aśokan Rock Edicts
Studia Orientalia Electronica, 2021 The original range of consonant clusters in Indo-Aryan reduced significantly over time, developing into geminates, homorganic nasal-stop clusters, and sonorant-h clusters in Middle Indo-Aryan.

Glottal Stop Consonant in the Continuum of Glottis State [PDF]
̒Ilm-i Zabān, 2015 The present study was an investigation of glottal stop phonetic variants in different positions of the words in Tehrani verbal variety of Persian. Acoustic evidences indicate that the articulation of different variants of the consonant including glottal ...

Phonotactic Constraints on Tri-Syllabic Loanwords Containing Three-Consonant Sequences: An Optimality Account [PDF]
نشریه پژوهشهای زبانشناسی, 2021 This paper examined the constraints on tri-syllabic loanwords in Persian, which contained three-consonant sequences in the underlying representation, within an optimality-theoretic account.

The Effect of Total Thyroidectomy on the Speech Production [PDF]
Clinical and Experimental Otorhinolaryngology, 2015 ObjectivesVoice and speech alternations that can occur after total thyroidectomy are usually due to recurrent or superior laryngeal nerve injury. These alterations may also be associated with other extralaryngeal factors, such as neck muscle dysfunction ...

Spectra of some Stop Consonants [PDF]
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1953 Although considerable data exist describing the spectra of vowel sounds, little information is available with regard to the consonants. Such information is obviously of great importance to all who are interested in the study of the acoustical properties of speech.

Closure duration analysis of incomplete stop consonants due to stop-stop interaction [PDF]
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2009 An incomplete stop consonant is characterized either by an indistinguishable closure or a missing burst. If an incomplete stop happens due to a stop following another stop [stop-stop interaction (SSI)], its acoustics typically resemble that of a complete stop—one closure followed by a single burst.
