Vowel Epenthesis in Arabic Loanwords in Hausa
International Journal of Linguistics, 2015<p>Vowel epenthesis is discussed in this paper as a phonological process utilized to avoid codas in Arabic loanwords in Hausa language in light of Optimality Theory (OT), as an analytical framework, even though this language permits codas in heavy syllables of the form CVC (Caron, 2011). This process results in having disyllabic, trisyllabic, or

Significance of vowel epenthesis in Telugu text-to-speech synthesis
2011 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing (ICASSP), 2011Unit selection synthesis inventories have coverage issues, which lead to missing syllable or diphone units. In the conventional back-off strategy of substituting the missing unit with approximate unit(s), the rules for approximate matching are hard to derive.

Individual differences in vowel epenthesis among Korean learners of English. [PDF]
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2010 It has been established that Korean learners of English insert epenthetic vowels within consonant clusters, likely because consonant clusters are not used in Korean. The present studies investigated whether individual differences in vowel epenthesis are more related to the perception and production of segments (vowels and consonants), prosody, or are ...

Persian speakers of English: Acoustics of vowel epenthesis
Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2015This study results from the need to develop further understanding into the process of vowel epenthesis which is often observed with second language learners. The purpose of this study was to examine the epenthetic vowels produced by Persian speakers of English to determine the acoustical characteristics and to ascertain if these vowels were ...

On vowel epenthesis in Alguer Catalan
1996A process of sandhi epenthesis occurring in the Catalan dialect of L’Alguer is described. This process, it is argued, although syllable driven, cannot be derived from general constraints on syllabification holding in the language. Rather, is better conceived of as a postlexical phonological rule, ordered before postlexical resyllabification.

Hittite vowel epenthesis and the sonority hierarchy
Diachronica, 2001Summary This study examines the distribution of non-etymological vowels in Hittite and shows that non-etymological a is used in contexts where syllabification problems are not expected, suggesting that a is purely orthographic and brought on only by the practices of the cuneiform writing system.

Vowel epenthesis in the Aleppine dialect
The Even YearbookThis study investigates the phonological process of vowel epenthesis in the Aleppine Dialect (AD) of Arabic, an urban variety spoken in northern Syria. While vowel insertion has been widely documented in many Arabic dialects, its behaviour in AD remains under-described.

Gradual Epenthesis: Echo Vowels in Austronesian Languages
Oceanic Linguistics, 2014Couched in Harmonic Serialism, this paper uses as examples echo vowel epenthesis in four Austronesian languages—Budai Rukai, Maga Rukai, Selayarese, and Rarotongan—to demonstrate that epenthesis, like many other phonological phenomena, involves gradual, harmonically improving derivations.

Chapter 14. Clitics and vowel epenthesis
2018Syncope and epenthesis have been treated as two closely related phenomena in traditional accounts: what syncope destroys, epenthesis restores. In this paper we present some cases of vowel epenthesis in the verbal domain in some Northern Emilian varieties where both syncope and epenthesis are rather restricted.
