Abstract: This study investigates the production of geminate retroflex stops in Kannada using a combination of ultrasound and articulography. Data obtained from 10 native speakers of the language show that the retroflex gesture is dynamically complex and asymmetrical, involving an anticipatory retraction of the tongue tip, followed by the raising of this articulator towards the hard palate, and subsequent rapid flapping-out movement during the closure and the release. The retroflex constriction and the forward movement appear to be facilitated by the simultaneous fronting of the posterior tongue body, flattening of the anterior tongue body, and lowering of the jaw.

Cross-Language Differences In Overlap And Assimilation Patterns In Korean And Russian, Alexei Kochetov, Marianne Pouplier, Minjung Son

This paper investigates cross-linguistic differences in gestural overlap in consonant clusters and discusses how different patterns of overlap may interact with language-specific place assimilation patterns. We examine Russian and Korean stopstop sequences within and across words, produced at two speaking rates. Significant differences in degrees of overlap emerge between the two languages for both prosodic conditions. We discuss to what extent language-specific differences in overlap can be linked to the language-specific propensity for articulatory place assimilation.
