Examining The Extent Of Anticipatory Coronal Coarticulation: A Long-Term Average Spectrum Analysis, Alexei Kochetov, Christopher Neufeld

Phonetic studies of English liquids /r/ and /l/ have shown these consonants can exert strong coarticulatory effects on both adjacent and non-adjacent vowels. The current study investigated local and long-range effects of coronals /l/, /r/, and /d/ in Canadian English. Fourteen speakers were recorded reading the sentences 'We thought it might be a ram/lamb/dam/ham'. Formants F1-F3 and long-term average spectra (LTAS) of 5 vowels preceding the target consonants were calculated and compared to baseline values. The results revealed significant differences between the coronal consonants and the control (/h/) in up to 4 preceding syllables. Formant differences in non-adjacent syllables were …

Alveolar-To-Rhotic Coarticulation In North American English: A Preliminary Epg Study, Alexei Kochetov

This paper reports results of an electropalatographic (EPG) study of alveolar-torhotic coarticulation in North American English. Data with alveolars /d/ and /n/ occurring in various rhotic contexts were collected from a single female speaker. The results showed a continuum of backing of the primary constriction from alveolar to post-alveolar or retroflex as a function of the absence or presence of one or more rhotic segments in the word and their proximity to the alveolar. These findings are interpreted as coarticulation of alveolars to the more constrained rhotic approximant and rhotacized vowels, and to different degrees of overlap of alveolar and …
