An EPG and perceptual study of the postalveolar and palatal affriccate contrast in Standard Croatian

In Classical Standard Croatian affricates /ʧ/ and /ʤ/ are traditionally considered postalveolar, while /ʨ/ and /ʥ/ are described as palatal. However, researchers claim that a new sociophonetic norm…

Differences in Base of Articulation for Consonants among Catalan Dialects

Electropalatographic data for several front lingual consonants show differences in constriction anteriority among Catalan dialects varying in the progression Valencian > Eastern, with the Majorcan dialect occupying an intermediate position.

Serbian affricates contrasts in foreign language perception investigated by means of a neurophysiological experiment

This study addresses the question to which extent phonetic contrasts of a foreign language are perceived more easily by speakers of a native language that shares similar phonetic categories. The…

An articulatory study of sibilant fricatives in two Spanish varieties

In spite of the attention that Spanish sibilants have received in diachronic and synchronic variationist studies, very little is known about cross-dialectal differences in the articulation of these…

Coronal place contrasts in Argentine and Cuban Spanish: An electropalatographic study

Theoretical and descriptive work on Spanish phonetics and phonology has been largely based on Peninsular varieties. This study uses electropalatography (EPG) to investigate articulatory…

Phonetic contrasts in foreign language perception: a neuropsychological study on Serbian affricates

Simultaneous measures of electropalatography and intraoral pressure in selected voiceless lingual consonants and consonant sequences of German.

The data showed significant correlations between IOP and percentage of articulatory contact (PC) for all speakers, whereas duration and place of articulation (measured by the EPG center of gravity) contributed less to IOP changes.

An Articulatory and Acoustic Study of the Fricative Clusters /sʃ/ and /ʃs/ in Catalan

Elect ropalatographic and acoustic data for the fricative clusters and the single fricatives in Eastern Catalan reveal that, while /sʃ/ undergoes regressive assimilation, /ʃs/ blends into an intermediate ficative or exhibits a twotarget realization.

Differences in EPG contact dynamics between voiced and voiceless lingual fricatives

Achieving voicing during fricatives is complex because voicing and frication require opposite production strategies that must be managed effectively at the supralaryngeal level. Previous research has…

Lingual kinematics and coarticulation for alveolopalatal and velar consonants in Catalan.

The lingual gesture for alveolopalatals and, less so, that for velars may exert more prominent spatial and temporal effects on V2 than on V1 which is in agreement with the salience of the C-to-V carryover component associated with these consonants according to previous coarticulation studies.
