Comparing voiced and voiceless geminates in Sienese Italian: what role does preaspiration play? [PDF]
, 2004 This paper compares the acoustic phonetic appearance of voiced & voiceless geminate stops in Sienese Italian. In our spontaneous speech data voiceless geminate stops are frequently preaspirated, which is an extremely rare phenomenon cross-linguistically.

Learning Biases for Vowel Height Harmony
Journal of Cognitive Science, 2012 We test the role of phonetic grounding and typological tendencies on learning biases for vowel height harmony, a phonological process in which vowels within a word are required to share phonological features for height. Several height harmony languages are constrained such that vowels ([i, e]) undergo harmony following both front and back vowels, while

Vowel alternation in disyllabic reduplicatives: an areal dimension
Eesti ja Soome-ugri Keeleteaduse Ajakiri, 2011 This paper analyzes a variety of languages with regard to vowel alternation patterns in their disyllabic sound symbolic reduplicatives (DSRs). The analysis reveals that (1) a number of different languages have their preferred patterns of vowel ...

Language Learning, EarlyView.Abstract Parallel tracking of distant relations between speech elements, so‐called nonadjacent dependencies (NADs), is crucial in language development but computationally demanding and acquired only in late preschool years. As processing of single NADs is facilitated when dependent elements are perceptually similar, we investigated how phonetic ...

Towards a model of phonological acquisition in government phonology [PDF]
, 1998 Child phonology shows some interesting and systematic differences from adult phonology. In child phonology, for example, vowel harmony and consonant harmony are common phonological effects (Ingram 1986).

How Awareness of Orthographic Transparency Benefits the Lexical Encoding of Second Language Vowels
Language Learning, EarlyView.Abstract We investigated the influence of orthographic transparency, and learners’ awareness of it, on the second language (L2) phonolexical encoding of Brazilian Portuguese (BP) mid‐vowel contrasts. In BP, accent marks indicate vowel quality (mid‐closed vs.

Accounting for L2 learners’ errors in word stress placement
Indonesian Journal of Applied Linguistics, 2016 Stress placement in English words is governed by highly complicated rules. Thus, assigning stress correctly in English words has been a challenging task for L2 learners, especially Indonesian learners since their L1 does not recognize such stress system.

Long‐term stability of sinus complication management
Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.Abstract Maxillary sinus augmentation shows a low incidence of complications and high clinical success due to favorable biological conditions and typically transient issues. Most complications are intraoperative, such as Schneiderian membrane perforation or hemorrhage, and are often resolved immediately.

Vowel height and register assignment in Katuic [PDF]
, 2015 As has been previously demonstrated in the literature on Katuic (Ferlus 1974a, Diffloth 1982, Sidwell 2005), there are languages in the Katuic language family, an Austroasiatic sub-branch, with register systems whose emergence cannot be comprehensively ...

Invariance and variability in the production of the height feature in French vowels [PDF]
Speech Communication, 2008 This paper investigates the organization of the vowel space in French speakers. Speakers aged from 4 years to adulthood were recorded in order to generate significant between-speaker variability. Each speaker produced repetitions of the ten French oral vowels /i y u e o o @e oe @? a/.
