Word-final consonants in Spanish are post-lexically resyllabified when followed by an onsetless syllable, e.g. venden aves (‘they sell birds’) is traditionally syllabified as ven.de.na.ves and is considered homophonous with vende naves (‘he sells ships’). This study analyzes such two-word minimal pairs inserted in prosodically equivalent sentences read from a list and provides measurements of the acoustic duration of resyllabified /s/, /n/, and /l/, and of their flanking vowels. A mixed-model analysis showed that, when resyllabified as derived onsets, all three consonants pattern together and show a shorter duration (venden aves) in comparison with canonical onsets (vende naves). This is consistent with the coda position that they occupy in the lexical representation, given the weak nature of codas. However, vowel duration varies according to consonant identity. These results are discussed in terms of the articulatory gestures making up the target consonants and allow to interpret that the resyllabified consonant actually becomes the onset of the following syllable. Therefore, we offer converging evidence of resyllabified consonants acting both as codas and onsets, and consequently we propose they can be analyzed as ambisyllabic.

Voiceless plosives are frequently produced with multiple bursts (MBs), a phenomenon that has substantial implications for voice onset time measurement (VOT) of these consonants. MBs have been noted in previous research, but have not been systematically quantified. The objective of this study was to analyze MBs in non-native English (with data from twelve first languages) and native English, and to discern the effect of MBs on VOT measurement. Further, the potential effects of place of articulation (PoA), gender, speech rate, and age on MBs were explored. Results showed that VOT measurement method in the presence of MBs had a significant effect on the VOT values obtained for the plosives. In addition, MBs were influenced to a large extent by PoA, but not by gender, speech rate, or age. Comparisons between non-native English and native English revealed some significant differences, but in both varieties the analyses of MBs showed overall similar tendencies.
无声浊辅音经常出现多爆破（MBs）现象，这种现象对这些辅音的语音起始时间测量（VOT）有很大的影响。以往的研究已经注意到了多爆破现象，但尚未对其进行系统的量化。本研究的目的是分析非母语英语（来自 12 种第一语言的数据）和母语英语中的 MBs，并找出 MBs 对 VOT 测量的影响。此外，还探讨了发音位置（PoA）、性别、语速和年龄对 MBs 的潜在影响。结果表明，存在 MBs 时的 VOT 测量方法对所获得的质音 VOT 值有显著影响。此外，MBs 在很大程度上受 PoA 的影响，而不受性别、语速或年龄的影响。非母语英语和母语英语之间的比较显示出一些显著差异，但在这两种英语中，对 MBs 的分析显示出总体相似的趋势。

In order to identify between-sentence and between-speaker variabilities, one of the methods used by phoneticians is studying durational rhythmic features. In the present research, to classify speech rhythm of Kalhori, a variety of Kurdish, and to find out about the most appropriate measures for between-sentence and between-speaker rhythmic variability in Kalhori, durational speech rhythmic measures were analyzed. To this end, two speaking styles (read and spontaneous) were explored. The analysis of the read corpus revealed that Kalhori Kurdish rhythm pattern is between stress-timed and syllable-timed. The results indicated that %V (proportion over which speech is vocalic) was the most significant measure for distinguishing between-sentence rhythmic variability in the read corpus, while %V and rateSyl (syllable rate) were the most efficient measures for identifying the between-speaker rhythmic variability in both the read and spontaneous corpus.

La estandarización suele ser un proceso vital en la normalización de las lenguas. La creación de una variante estándar, una variante unificada de la lengua, es una nueva herramienta, un nuevo recurso para los hablantes, a quienes dota de una variante formal, cuidada, de la lengua, para necesidades comunicativas ya existentes o que puedan surgir en el futuro. El estándar del euskera se conoce como Euskara Batua (Euskera Unificado). Este artículo tiene el objetivo de presentar la estandarización de la pronunciación del euskera, entendiendo la creación de la norma como una intervención externa que facilita a los hablantes desarrollar un registro de habla previamente no elaborado.
Analizaremos la variación y flexibilidad presentes en las normas para la pronunciación estándar de la lengua vasca, señalando las razones y los criterios (geográficos y sociológicos) en los que se fundamentó la Real Academia de la Lengua Vasca. Asimismo, basándonos en el modelo teórico de la Fonología Natural, argumentaremos la base fonológica de algunas normas. Se mostrará que las decisiones adoptadas en la configuración de algunas normas no coinciden con las argumentaciones fonológicas defendidas por la Fonología Natural en cuanto a la relación entre registros de habla y los tipos de procesos fonológicos.

In this work, we perform the acoustic analysis of the features of harmonicity, sonority, duration and intensity of each /g/ sound extracted from a sample of spontaneous speech from a corpus collected from recordings of local television programs in Andalusia, Madrid and the Basque Country. This corpus consists of 1292 utterances, in which the velar appears on 151 occasions in different contexts. These sounds are described and categorized thanks to the Praat spectrographic analysis program and a comparison of their features among the three dialectal communities that the corpus contains. The most relevant results allow us to conclude that undescribed realizations of [ɣ] occur in spontaneous speech; that the intensity curves of these approximant sounds yield significant figures for their characterization; and that the frequency of production of the approximant [ɣ] is greater in Andalusia than in Madrid or Euskadi.

In the generative literature, the pattern of coronal fricative lenition found in the traditional Chinato Spanish dialect is commonly cited as a phonological argument that the resyllabification of word-final prevocalic consonants is complete, in the sense that onsets derived by resyllabification are structurally identical to canonical (word-level) onsets. However, recent acoustic studies of Northern-Central Peninsular Spanish have problematized the completeness of resyllabification with experimental evidence that /s̺/ is shorter and more voiced as a derived onset than as a canonical onset. Using a split-gesture, competitive, coupled oscillator model of the syllable in Articulatory Phonology, which divides consonants into a separate constriction and release gesture, we propose a novel representation of ambisyllabicity that predicts the phonetic behavior of derived onset /s̺/ in Northern-Central Peninsular Spanish. We then show that ambisyllabic coupling permits a simpler phonological analysis of coronal fricative lenition in Chinato Spanish as compared to alternative accounts. Our analysis makes typological predictions that are confirmed by patterns from other contemporary Spanish varieties. Lastly, we examine the consequences of ambisyllabicity for the analysis of Spanish rhotic consonants, which have also been argued to support complete resyllabification. We offer an analysis of rhotics that is entirely compatible with an ambisyllabic representation of incomplete resyllabification.

Voice quality derived from long-term laryngeal settings stands out as a potentially individualizing trait of speakers. This places it in an advantageous situation with respect to other phonetic parameters used in forensic linguistics. However, anyone confronted with its analysis will immediately run into a methodological difficulty stemming from its inherently multidimensional nature. In this lies its main disadvantage and the fundamental reason why its analysis is not always considered in the traditional approach used in the comparison of speakers for identification purposes. Based on an experimental inquiry on voice disguised by means of falsetto, this study shows that it is possible to work with a reduced set of laryngeal features responsible for voice quality and facilitate its interpretation and explanation, which is a critical issue for forensic practice.

Around the turn of the 20th century (Childers, 1879; Müller, 1884; Whitney, 1889; Gray, 1899; Duroiselle, 1906), neogrammarians began studying the Pali language and its grammar. One area of particular interest was the phonological process of assimilation. Pali evidences both progressive and regressive assimilation and it is generally the case that a consonant geminate is formed (Krishnaswamy, et al., 2019). Recent studies (Junghare, 1979; Suzuki, 2002a,b; Gupta, 2003; Schmeiser, 2008; Dutta, 2017) have attempted to explain base-medial consonant gemination in phonological terms. Though these accounts have furthered our understanding of Pali base-medial consonant gemination, very few studies have considered morphological effects on Pali gemination. The current study, though exploratory in nature, suggests that a problem arises in phonological analyses of Pali geminates in that Pali words evidence different cluster realizations based on morphological factors. In short, the study analyzes the effects of affixes on Pali gemination and suggests that an explanation based solely on syllable structure or sonority is insufficient and calls for further research.
大约在20世纪之交(Childers, 1879;穆勒,1884;惠特尼,1889;灰色,1899;Duroiselle, 1906)，新语法学家开始研究巴利语及其语法。其中一个特别有趣的领域是同化的语音过程。巴利语既有渐进同化的证据，也有倒退同化的证据，通常情况下形成了辅音的双元音(Krishnaswamy等人，2019)。最近的研究(Junghare, 1979;铃木2002 a, b;古普塔,2003;Schmeiser, 2008;Dutta, 2017)试图从音韵学的角度解释基底-中间辅音双发。虽然这些叙述加深了我们对巴利语中基辅音组合的理解，但很少有研究考虑到形态对巴利语组合的影响。本研究虽然是探索性的，但在巴利语双音节的语音分析中出现了一个问题，即巴利语单词根据形态因素表现出不同的聚类实现。总之，本研究分析了词缀对巴利语词形的影响，认为单从音节结构或音韵来解释是不够的，需要进一步研究。

This study presents the phonological system exhibited by children (n=59) aged 3;0 to 6;0 and focuses on the role of input frequency. Using a spontaneous child speech corpus of Spanish (CHIEDE) as a data source, as well as computational processing techniques -including an automatic phonological transcriber-, data relating to the phonological level was retrieved. This resulted in a phonological inventory of Spanish-speaking children, ordered by frequency of use, which may serve as a model for research on typical and atypical child language development. Additionally, a study was carried out on the stability of the participants’ phonological systems by calculating the variability that the different age groups displayed, and outcomes were compared with other similar corpora. Results obtained from the comparison of the phonological inventory of children and adults show that there is a relationship between frequency of use in adult speech and the order of acquisition of phonemes.
