Which epenthetic vowel? Phonetic categories versus acoustic detail in perceptual vowel epenthesis [PDF]

Vowel epenthesis, acoustics and phonology patterns in Moroccan Arabic [PDF]
Interspeech 2008, 2008 In Moroccan Arabic it is widely accepted that short vowels are mostly elided, resulting in consonant clusters and consonant geminates. In this paper we present evidence from our exploratory timing study that challenges this widely accepted principle. We work with minimal pairs of singleton consonants vs. geminates (e.g. /bka/ vs.
