Gender‐Specific Phonetic Variability in Sanzhi Dargwa

Journal of Sociolinguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Western sociophonetic research often overlooks minority languages. Our study targets this gap with a sociophonetic study of Sanzhi Dargwa, an endangered East Caucasian language spoken in Dagestan (Russian Federation) by a small community with clearly defined binary gender roles.

Head Gestures Do Not Serve as Precursors of Prosodic Focus Marking in the Second Language as They Do in the First Language

Language Learning, EarlyView.
Abstract Research shows that children use head gestures to mark discourse focus before developing the required prosodic cues in their first language (L1), and their gestures affect the prosodic parameters of their speech. We investigated whether head gestures also act as precursors and bootstrappers of prosodic focus marking in second language (L2 ...

Effective When Distinctive: The Role of Phonetic Similarity in Nested Dependency Learning Across Preschool Years

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 ...

Seeing the Speaker's Face Enhances Second Language Shadowing: Neural and Behavioral Evidence

Language Learning, EarlyView.
Abstract This functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study investigated how facial cues influence second language (L2) shadowing among 42 Japanese learners of English. Participants completed four conditions that varied by task type (listening vs. shadowing) and visual input (face vs. mosaic).

The Effect of Lexical Accent on Perceived Japanese Vowel Length: Evidence from Croatian

Acta Linguistica Asiatica
The present paper examines the effect of Japanese lexical accent on the perception of Japanese vowel length in Croatian listeners. Lexical accent patterns of the two languages, both having phonologically distinctive length and pitch, are contrasted.

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.

LENGTH, VOWEL, JUNCTURE

ling, 1963
The phonetic evidence usually cited for internal (open) juncture is better viewed as a manifestation of extra length conditioned by successive syllables containing full vowel nuclei. It does not answer to morpheme or word boundaries, but is a mechanical lengthening opposed to an equally mechanical borrowing of time on the part of syllables with reduced

Articulation of vowel length contrasts in Australian English

Journal of the International Phonetic Association, 2019
Acoustic studies have shown that in Australian English (AusE), vowel length contrasts are realised through temporal, spectral and dynamic characteristics. However, relatively little is known about the articulatory differences between long and short vowels in this variety.
