“…It often involves slight opening of the velopharyngeal port, so that the resulting nasal venting lowers the intraoral pressure. Two studies in this special collection (Ünal-Logacev et al, 2018, and Ahn, 2018a) have carried out articulatory experiments to explore the relationship between voicing and such supralaryngeal articulatory manoeuvers, and one study has tested the relationship between voicing and nasal venting (Khalamov, 2018).…”

“…Among the 19 languages studied are two languages whose voicing contrast has been well-documented in the literature: English appearing in two of the contributions (Ahn, 2018a with 8 speakers; Kim, Kim & Cho, 2018 with 11 speakers), and German, with three varieties appearing across two contributions (Swiss German: Ladd & Schmid, 2018 with 20 speakers; Bavarian and Saxon varieties of German: Kleber 2018 with 21 and 20 speakers, respectively). Other languages whose voicing contrast has not been fully understood despite the substantial number of their speakers include Brazilian Portuguese (Ahn, 2018a with 8 speakers); Thai (Kirby, 2018 with 12 speakers); Turkish (U Ünal-Logacev, Fuchs & Lancia, 2018 with 6 speakers); and Russian (Kharlamov, 2018 with 60 speakers). Languages that have received even less attention but are covered in this special collection include Lebanese Arabic (Al-Tamimi & Khattab, 2018 with 20 speakers), Vietnamese and Khmer (Kirby, 2018 with 14 speakers each); Yerevan (Eastern) Armenian (Seyfarth & Garellek, 2018 with 8 speakers), and 10 languages (two Iranian, seven Indo-Aryan languages and one isolated one) spoken in India with 48 speakers in total (Hussain, 2018).…”

In this special collection entitled Marking 50 Years of Research on Voice Onset Time and the Voicing Contrast in the World’s Languages, we have compiled eleven studies investigating the voicing contrast in 19 languages. The collection provides extensive data obtained from 270 speakers across those languages, examining VOT and other acoustic, aerodynamic and articulatory measures. The languages studied may be divided into four groups: ‘aspirating’ languages with a two-way contrast (English, three varieties of German); ‘true voicing’ languages with a two-way contrast (Russian, Turkish, Brazilian Portuguese, two Iranian languages Pashto and Wakhi); languages with a three-way contrast (Thai, Vietnamese, Khmer, Yerevan Armenia, three Indo-Aryan languages, Dawoodi, Punjabi and Shina, and Burushaki spoken in India); and Indo-Aryan languages with a more than three-way contrast (Jangli and Urdu with a four-way contrast, and Sindhi and Siraiki with a five-way contrast). We discuss the cross-linguistic data, focusing on how much VOT alone tell s us above the voicing contrast in these languages, and what other phonetic dimensions (such as consonant-induced F0 and voice quality) are needed for a complete understanding of laryngeal contrast in these languages. Implications for various issues emerge: universal phonetic feature systems, effects of language contact on linguistic levelling, and the relation between laryngeal contrast and supralaryngeal articulation. The cross-linguistic VOT data also lead us to discuss how the distribution of VOT as measured acoustically may allow us to infer the underlying articulation and how it might be approached in gestural phonologies. The discussion on these multiple issues sparks new questions to be resolved, and provide indications of where the field may be best directed in exploring laryngeal contrast in voicing in the world’s languages.

“…Larynx lowering may occur during voiced consonants in Ikema speakers’ utterances. Nasal leakage during voiced obstruents has been reported in Spanish, English, and French (Solé, Sprouse & Ohala 2011, Solé 2018), and Russian (Kharlamov 2018). It was also observed in voiced plosives of non-words used by speakers of the Kansai dialect of Japanese (Hirata et al 2002).…”

The Ikema dialect of Miyako Island in Okinawa, Japan, has typologically rare word-initial and voiced geminate obstruents (e.g. /vva/ ‘you’, /ffa/ ‘child’, /tta/ ‘tongue’, /badda/ ‘side’). These sounds are marked in two ways: Voicing through geminate obstruents is hard to produce and initial voiceless plosives seem to be difficult to perceive. This study investigated real-time magnetic resonance imaging (rt-MRI) to examine the articulatory settings underlying contrasts between singleton and geminate obstruents. Our analyses of two male speakers’ utterances showed the following five characteristics: (i) geminate obstruents in Ikema have longer duration of articulatory constrictions regardless of position and consonant types; (ii) the voiced alveolar plosive geminate /dd/ is articulated with a larger linguopalatal contact than its singleton counterpart but such difference depends on the speaker for the voiceless plosive pair /tt/–/t/ and the fricative pairs /ss/–/s/ and /zz/–/z/; (iii) alveolar voiceless plosives /t/ and /tt/ have a greater degree of linguopalatal contact than their voiced counterparts /d/ and /dd/, respectively, but fricatives show inter-speaker variation; (iv) fricatives do not show any systematic difference in degree of (midsagittal) linguopalatal contact between geminates and singletons, or between voiceless and voiced consonants; and (v) voiced geminate obstruents are accompanied by pharyngeal expansion for both speakers and by lowering the larynx for one speaker, and never by lowering of the velum. We also observed that voiced fricatives tend to realize as affricates, which we interpret as part of the articulatory adjustments for (full) voicing of phonologically voiced geminate fricatives.

“…Essa expansão pode ser passiva, pois as superfícies do trato vocal têm elasticidade, mas também pode ser ativa, através do abaixamento da laringe ou da expansão das paredes da faringe, outros movimentos necessários à vibração das pregas vocais. Há línguas, inclusive, que tornam as oclusivas vozeadas pré-nasalizadas como recurso de apoio (venting) à vibração das pregas vocais (e, por conseguinte, do vozeamento) (KHARLAMOV, 2018;KONG et al, 2012). Essa outra forma de expansão é chamada de restrição de vozeamento aerodinâmico (AVC).…”

Detalhamento fonético-acústico das sílabas CCV na fala infantil típica e com desvio fonológico

Este estudo experimental objetivou a caracterização fonético-acústica de encontros consonantais em sílabas CCV. Participaram do estudo crianças entre 5 e 6 anos com fala típica e com desvio fonológico. Os resultados mostraram que os dois grupos estão em processo de refinamento articulatório dos gestos envolvidos na produção das sílabas CCV, apresentando os mesmos eventos acústicos que caracterizam tal refinamento, como desvozeamento, bloqueios orais e múltiplos bursts. No entanto, as crianças com desvio fonológico apresentaram esses eventos acústicos com maior ocorrência. Para esse grupo, foi constatado ainda que o rótico em sílabas CCV não foi produzido, no entanto, o VOT e as vogais núcleo apresentaram duração mais longa quando comparada à duração exibida nos dados do grupo de fala típica. Essas características parecem evidenciar que as crianças de fala atípica têm conhecimento fonológico quanto à presença de um segmento que ainda não é produzido por elas.
