Abstract The paper reports the results of an analysis of acoustic correlates to phonological contrasts in vowel length, quality and pharyngeal width with data from five native speakers of the Khalkh dialect. The study replicates Svantesson’s (1985) discovery of a chain-shift rotation of the round vowels in their presumed evolution from Classical Mongolian. Analysis with VoiceSauce (Shue et al. in: Proceedings of the ICPhS XVII, 1846–1849, 2009) finds that in addition to the first formant, the harmonics-to-noise ratio is a reliable indicator of the ATR versus RTR contrast that has been hypothesized to be the basis of the language’s vowel harmony.
摘要:本文报道了对五位以Khalkh方言为母语的人的元音长度、音质和咽部宽度的声学相关分析结果。该研究重复了Svantesson(1985)的发现，即圆形元音在其假定的从古典蒙古语进化而来的链式旋转。使用VoiceSauce进行分析(Shue et al. in: Proceedings of the ICPhS XVII, 1846-1849, 2009)发现，除了第一个形成峰外，谐波噪声比是ATR与RTR对比的可靠指标，该对比被假设为语言元音和谐的基础。

Abstract Languages throughout the Malayo-Polynesian branch of Austronesian exhibit a range of sound changes which all appear to be triggered by the presence of a schwa in an open penultimate syllable. These changes are gemination of the final-syllable onset, deletion of penultimate schwa in three-or-more syllable words, and the shift of schwa to a full vowel in open penultimate syllables only. The changes are analyzed as a product of drift, whereby changes in daughter languages are motivated by some property of the proto-language. In this case, it is argued that schwa was a zero-mora vowel in Proto-Austronesian and Proto-Malayo-Polynesian, and that these changes worked to add a mora to a word which would otherwise contain a degenerate single-mora foot. The observed changes are then analyzed as a product of constraint promotion modeled in Diachronic Optimality Theory, whereby constraint movement over time may explain historical sound change. In the case of Malayo-Polynesian, it is shown that the promotion of the Binary Foot constraint ( Ft-Bin) can explain all three of the attested schwa-triggered sound changes.
