摘要
本文的目的是描述和比较爱沙尼亚腭化和非腭化辅音/l n s t/及其前元音的频谱和时间特性。本研究分析了43名爱沙尼亚本土受试者的声学记录,这些受试者产生了腭化区分意义的单词对。我们通过对共振峰轨迹的动态分析,为腭化的实现提供了一个新的视角,以便客观地量化腭化的范围在前元音中达到的程度。结果表明,与其他语言一样,爱沙尼亚腭化最持久的相关性是前元音F2的增加,从一开始,F2的值几乎总是更高。对于/l/,F2值较高,而对于/n/,则F2值较低。/s/的COG(重心)在开始时较低,但在在中间上升。/t/爆发的COG在发作时较低。正如预期的那样,辅音之前元音的持续时间更长,可能是因为腭化手势,但辅音的持续时间并没有显示出腭化的系统模式。
Spectral and temporal properties of Estonian palatalization
The aim of this paper is to describe and compare the spectral and temporal properties of Estonian palatalized and non-palatalized consonants /l n s t/ and the vowels that precede them. Acoustic recordings of 43 native Estonian subjects producing word pairs where palatalization differentiated meaning were analyzed in this study. We offer a new perspective on how palatalization is realized by employing a dynamic analysis of the formant trajectories in order to objectively quantify how far the scope of palatalization reaches in the preceding vowel. Results showed that, as in other languages, the most persisting correlate of Estonian palatalization is the rise in F2 in the preceding vowel, where the values are almost always higher already from the beginning. F2 values are higher for /l/ and lower for /n/. The COG (center of gravity) of /s/ is lower in the beginning but rises in the middle. The COG of the burst of /t/ is lower in the onset. As expected, the duration of the vowels preceding consonants is longer, presumably because of the palatalization gesture, but the duration of the consonants does not show a systematic pattern with palatalization.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the International Phonetic Association (JIPA) is a forum for work in the fields of phonetic theory and description. As well as including papers on laboratory phonetics/phonology and related topics, the journal encourages submissions on practical applications of phonetics to areas such as phonetics teaching and speech therapy, as well as the analysis of speech phenomena in relation to computer speech processing. It is especially concerned with the theory behind the International Phonetic Alphabet and discussions of the use of symbols for illustrating the phonetic structures of a wide variety of languages. JIPA now publishes online audio files to supplement written articles Published for the International Phonetic Association
