摘要:

A recent article in Phonetica has shown the effect of linguistic and paralinguistic factors on the frequency of elision of the French mute-e. The present study deals primarily with its spectral characteristics and identifiability. It also describes a new computer-assisted technique of acoustic analysis which advantageously replaces conventional spectrograms. The results of the study show that the entity in question has hardly half the phonetic individuality of other French vowels, and while it is closest in color to /ø/, it is only half as discrete

摘要:

The interaction of peak oral air pressure and peak airflow rate in the production of medial voiceless stop consonants in German is investigated and the claim that the two parameters are linearly related is considered. It was found that the two parameters behave in a similar fashion with respect to the consumption of aerodynamic energy prior to the plosive and to the degree of expiratory activity, but in a reverse fashion with respect to an increase in the rate of speech. The degree of opening of the glottis is thought to be responsible for the reverse behaviour of the parameters in this case.

摘要:

Our phonetic study of Bourouchaski shows that the homorganic plosives of this language cannot be distinguished by a specific difference in voice onset time (VOT). This finding leads us to the question whether this phonetic feature is of real interest not only for the phonological description of a language, but also in a more general sense for the theory of phonology.

摘要:

The loss of a phonological distinction in vowel length historically among certain Thai dialects (spoken in Thailand) may be seen to be principally conditioned by tone. Available auditory, acoustic and other experimental data on the interaction between tone and vowel (syllable or tone-bearing unit) duration evidenced in several geographically and typologically distinct tone languages point to universal phonetic tendencies having to do with the production of tone. These phonetic tendencies are believed to have caused the changes in vowel duration thus bringing about a change in the phonological status of vowel length – a restructuring of the synchronic phonological systems among dialects and languages of the Tai language family. It is further suggested that the use of indivisible unit-contour tone features leads to an economic, explanatory diachronic and synchronic description of these phenomen
