Principles of Aerodynamic Phonology, Phonetic Environments
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Aerodynamic Phonology is Relevant to | 1)Voicing Constraints, 2) manner of Articulation 3) Epenthetic Stops |
What does Subglottal Pressure do: a) during aspiration? b) during Stops? | a)Drops b) builds up slightly |
For voicing to continue (Aerodynamic Voicing constraint), trans glottal pressure must: | Exceed 2 cm H2O |
Aerodynamic Voicing constraint has what effect on stops +vc? | Stops +vc tend to devoice (due to) |
What Consonants are more likely to be voiceless and why? | Dorsals (back), because their vocal tube is shorter and have less of a threshhold for voicing |
In which place of articulation does voicing last the longest? Why? | Bilabial, because the vocal tract is the longest |
In what phonological environment do stops have a tendency to Spirantize?(become approximants)? (Span /todo/) Why? | in V[stop]V position, because of the co articulationary effects that the preceding and following vowel place on the stop, which is SHORTENED, the burst strength is weakened,and the duration of V_ is legnthened in VCV position, |
Epenthetic Stops result from what?,in what environments? | from early closure, often between a bilabial nasal_ fricative ( sumpster,humpfry,hampster)) |
