Abstract
Abstract:Instrumental phonetic study of Salish languages (Pacific Northwest) has primarily been conducted in the Interior branch of the family. Here, the acoustic properties of vowels in Lushootseed, a language of the Coast Salish branch, are examined, with particular attention to the effects of uvular consonants. Generally in line with what has been found for other languages, Lushootseed vowels adjacent to uvular consonants, including open central a, show an increase in the first formant and a decrease in the second formant (corresponding to lowering and backing, respectively, in articulatory terms).
期刊介绍：
Anthropological Linguistics, a quarterly journal founded in 1959, provides a forum for the full range of scholarly study of the languages and cultures of the peoples of the world, especially the native peoples of the Americas. Embracing the field of language and culture broadly defined, the editors welcome articles and research reports addressing cultural, historical, and philological aspects of linguistic study, including analyses of texts and discourse; studies of semantic systems and cultural classifications; onomastic studies; ethnohistorical papers that draw significantly on linguistic data; studies of linguistic prehistory and genetic classification.
