Effects of obstruent voicing on vowel F0: Implications for laryngeal realism

It is sometimes argued that languages with two-way laryngeal contrasts can be classified according to whether one series is realized canonically with voicing lead or the other with voicing lag. In…

Voicing and aspiration in Swedish stops

Fricative patterning in aspirating versus true voice languages1

Building on the empirical insights of Beckman, Jessen & Ringen (2013), we compare the fricatives within the laryngeal systems of Russian and Turkish on the premise that the former is a final…

Phonetic Variation and PhonologicalTheory: German Fricative Voicing

This paper reports on the result of an experiment that was designed to test the different predictions of two phonological analyses of German fricative voicing, one that actively bans voicing in coda…

Italian preconsonantal s-voicing is not regressive voice assimilation

Abstract In the literature of laryngeal phonology Romance languages are considered voice languages, exhibiting a binary distinction between a voiced lenis and a voiceless fortis set of obstruents.…

The prosody of Swedish underived nouns: No lexical tones required

This paper provides a detailed representational analysis of the morpho-prosodic system of underived nouns in a dialect of Swedish.  It shows that the morphology, stress and tonal patterns are not as…

238 Language and Speech 59 ( 2 ) 2 A comparison of voicing and voicing alternations in Dutch and German

The voicing contrast is neutralized syllable and word finally in Dutch and German, leading to alternations within the morphological paradigm (e.g., Dutch ‘bed(s)’, be[t]-be[d]en, German ‘dog(s)’,…

Rate effects on Swedish VOT: Evidence for phonological overspecification

Phonetics and Phonology of Regressive Voicing Assimilation in Russian Native and Non-native Speech

Two acoustic experiments in this dissertation analyze native and non-native subjects’ production of real and nonsense words containing obstruent clusters in which regressive voicing assimilation is required, demonstrating gradiency in devoicing and gradual acquisition of L2 phonological patterns.

Laryngeal Features Are Phonetically Abstract: Mismatch Negativity Evidence from Arabic, English, and Russian

This work investigates a series of two-way voicing contrasts in English, Arabic, and Russian, three languages that implement their voicing contrasts very differently at the articulatory-phonetic level.

Laryngeal features in German

It is well known that initially and when preceded by a word that ends with a voiceless sound, German so-called ‘voiced’ stops are usually voiceless, that intervocalically both voiced and voiceless…

Distinctive (voice) does not Imply Regressive Assimilation: Evidence from Swedish

This paper shows that Swedish employs the feature [voice] on the narrow interpretation, but does not have regressive voice assimilation, and presents an OT account of the Swedish data which involves both features [ voice] and [spread glottis].

/v/ and Voice Assimilation in Hungarian and Russian

The paper presents an Optimality Theoretic analysis of the behavior of the labiodental continuant /v/ in Hungarian and Russian voice assimilation. Phonetic properties of /v/ (Lulich 2002) account for…

Legacy Specification in the Laryngeal Phonology of Dutch

Dutch consonant cluster assimilations have come to play a central role in the debate over whether laryngeal features are restrictedly privative (single-valued) or must be encoded as binary (marking…

Towards a Quantitative Analysis of Fricative Voicing

Dutch shows evidence that the opposition of voiced vs. voiceless fricatives is really one of length, with voiceless fricatives being long; at the same time, voicing assimilation facts seem to argue…

The distribution of aspirated stops and /h/ in American English and Korean: an alignment approach with typological implications

Languages that have both aspirated stops and the phoneme /h/ often manifest a dose parallel in their distribution. Previous work in phonology either has failed to recognize this close parallel or…

Phonetics and Phonology of Tense and Lax Obstruents in German

This book claims that the Jakobsonian feature tense was rejected prematurely, and it is shown that tense and voice differ in their invariant properties and basic correlates, but that they share a number of other correlates, including F0 onset and closure duration.

Glottal spreading bias in Germanic

Much theoretical phonology in the 1990s has focused on the characterization of voicing assimilations, nearly always assuming presence of the feature [voice] versus its absence in order to distinguish…

Aspiration and laryngeal representation in Germanic

The phonetic gesture of stop consonant aspiration, which is predictable in a Germanic language such as English, has been described traditionally as ranging from a ‘puff of air’ upon release of…

The Typology of Voicing and Devoicing

This article provides empirical evidence against the claims that [voice] is a privative feature and that word-internal devoicing can occur in a language without word-final devoicing. The study of…
