Phonetics, phonology

This book contrasts variations in Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese pronunciation, using as a reference for discussion the mainstream careful speech of news anchors at the national level or the equivalent type of speech: a well-educated style that nonetheless sounds natural.

This book conducts a thorough investigation of the variation in tone sandhi patterns of Shanghai and Wuxi Wu using quantitative rating experiments.

A revival of interest in morphology has taken place during recent years and the subject is seen now as a relatively autonomous subdiscipline of linguistics.

BACKGROUND This book focuses on two major issues - vowel glottalization and nasalization - in the phonology and phonetics of Coatzospan Mixtec (henceforth CM).

If Phonetics is a comparatively recent subject for European students of foreign languages and is eyed by them with some sus- picion as an invention that is meant to make their studies difficult, it is even more so with English Phonetics for African students.

Interest in morphology has revived in recent years and the Yearbook of Morphology has provided great support for this revival, with its articles on topics that are central to the current theoretical debates.

MARK ARONOFF The articles included in this section represent recent research on morpholog- ical classes which has been independently performed by a number of investi- gators.

In this book Archibald describes two studies conducted within a parametric framework in the area of second language acquisition.

This book is intended primarily as an original contribution to the investi- gation of the phonology of the two main languages spoken in Morocco.

Optimality Theory and Language Change: -discusses many optimization and linguistic issues in great detail; -treats the history of a variety of languages, including English, French, Germanic, Galician/Portuguese, Latin, Russian, and Spanish; -shows that the application of OT allows for innovative and improved analyses; -allows researchers that appeal to OT to see the connections of their (usually synchronic) work with diachronic studies; -contains a complete bibliography on Optimality Theory and language change.

This book is a revised version of my Ph.

The following is a passage from our application for NATO- sponsorship: "e;In the main, the participants in this workshop on the Psychophysics of Speech Perception come from two areas of research: - one area is that of speech perception researc,h, in which the perception of speech sounds is investigated; - the other area is that of psychoacoustics, or auditory psychophysics, in which the perception of simple non-speech sounds, such as pure tones or noise bursts, is investigated, in order to determine the properties of the hearing mechanism.

Speech sound production is one of the most complex human activities: it is also one of the least well understood.

One of the core challenges in linguistics is elucidating compounds-their formation as well as the reasons their structure varies between languages.

This volume explores the elusive subject of English prosody-the stress, rhythm and intonation of the language-, and its relevance for English language teaching.

Located at the intersection of phonology, psycholinguistics and phonetics, this volume offers the latest research findings in key areas of prosodic theory, including: *The relationship between intonation and pragmatics in speech production *Sentence modality prosody characterization *The role of pitch in quantity-based sound systems *Consonant-conditioned tone depression phonology across languages *The encoding of intonational contrasts in both intonational and tonal languages Featuring new data and ground-breaking results, the papers draw on empirical approaches that analyze production, perception and comprehension experiments such as the prepared speech paradigm and semantic scaling tasks.

This volume contains revised, expanded and updated versions of papers originally presented at the International Workshop on Phonological Structure held at the University of Durham in September 1994.

The author addresses a number of issues in German and general phonology, using a specific problem in German phonology (the ach/ich alternation) as a springboard.

This book contains fourteen articles that reflect current ideas on the phonology, morphology, and syntax of clitics.

The 23rd UWM Linguistics Symposium (1996) brought together linguists of opposing theoretical approaches - functionalists and formalists - in order to determine to what extent these approaches really differ from each other and to what extent the approaches complement each other.

This book provides an in-depth analysis of the inflectional middle category in Modern Greek.

This book investigates two elliptical coordinations in German, Right Node Raising and Gapping.

This monograph, which evolved from the first linguistic dissertation to be written on Chaha (an Ethiopian Semitic language), is also the first book to deal exclusively with the phonology and morphology of the language.

Any study of communication must take into account the nature and role of speech acts in a broad context.

Intonation, rhythm, and general “melody” of language are among the first aspects of speech that infants attend to and produce themselves.

The selected contributions in this volume bring together applications of pragmatics in speech and language pathology, as well as discussions of the applicability of different theoretical strands of the study of human linguistic interaction and its cognitive bases to the field of communication disorders.

The present volume represents a selection of papers presented at the International Symposium on Ideophones held in January 1999 in St.

The two volumes of the Phonological Spectrum aim at giving a comprehensive overview of current developments in phonological theory, by providing a number of papers in different areas of current theorizing which reflect on particular problems from different angles.

Twenty-one articles from the 31st LSRL investigate cutting-edge issues and interfaces across phonology, pragmatics, sociolinguistics, semantics, and syntax in multiple dialects of such Romance languages as Catalan, French, Creole French, and Spanish, both old and modern.
