“…Previous research on palatalization has focused on describing palatalization through the properties of the transition from the preceding vowel to the consonant, often measuring the quality from a single or a few timepoints (Lehiste 1965, Liiv 1965a, b, Vihman 1967, Derkach et al 1970, Purcell 1979, Howie 2001, Kochetov 2002, Ćavar 2004, Kim 2012, Ní Chiosáin & Padgett 2012, Teras & Pajusalu 2014, Põld 2016, Piits & Kalvik 2019. We wanted to get a more dynamic view of the movements of the formants and to objectively quantify the time point where the formant values in non-palatalized and palatalized consonants and the vowels preceding them were significantly different.…”

“…The duration of the vowels were, as hypothesized, longer with palatalization. This longer duration has been explained (Lehiste 1965, Liiv 1965a, Kochetov 2006, Ordin 2011, Teras & Pajusalu 2014, Stoll et al 2015, Piits & Kalvik 2019 by the tongue raising towards the hard palate, which brings about the [i]-like the transition from the vowel into the consonant that accompanies secondary palatalization.…”

“…kuidas ‘how’ [kut j ɑs]) gets reduced or assimilated, the consonant is still articulated with palatalization (Teras & Pajusalu 2014). Non-contrastive palatalization in Estonian is, in many cases, optional and gradually variable, as the degree of palatalization can vary regionally or idiomatically (Teras & Pajusalu 2014, Põld 2016, Piits & Kalvik 2019). For this reason, in this study, only phonologically contrastive palatalization will be analyzed.…”

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.
