“…The reason is that, this vowel bears more pharyngealization effect than /i:/ and /u:/. This prediction is in agreement with Ali and Daniloff (1974) which revealed that the presence of pharyngealization can be detected on the coarticulated vowel itself.…”

“…This latter finding regarding the perception of pharyngealization as cued by the pharyngealized vowel is also consistent with the findings of Alosh (1987). Evidence for bidirectional coarticulation associated with pharyngealization is also found in Ali and Daniloff (1974). While Jongman et.…”

“…The vast majority of research in Arabic pharyngeal and pharyngealized segments has focused on the acoustic features of pharyngeal consonants (Alwan, 1989;Jongman, Herd, Al-Masri, Sereno & Combest, 2011); their articulatory mechanisms (Esling, 1999;Laufer & Baer, 1988;Delattre, 1971;Al-Tamimi, Alzoubi & Tarawnah, 2009); perceptual and acoustic evidence of the coarticulation of pharyngealization (Ali & Daniloff, 1974); and cross-language perception of pharyngealized fricatives (Alosh, 1987;Zahid, 1996). This thesis forms a departure from these recurrent themes in the sense that it explores the production of both pharyngeal and pharyngealized segments in light of the theories of non-native speech learning.…”

Non-Native Production of Arabic Pharyngeal and Pharyngealized Consonants

Grounded on the theoretical constructs of cross-language speech learning, this research investigates English L1 speakers' production of Arabic pharyngeal and pharyngealized consonants (/ħ, ʕ/ and /tˤ, sˤ, dˤ, ðˤ/, respectively). Central to this study is how English speakers' proficiency in Arabic affects their ability to produce these sounds differently. In particular, it examines the effect of Arabic proficiency on the production of pharyngealized versus nonpharyngealized consonants; pharyngeals versus non-pharyngeals; pharyngeal versus pharyngealized sounds; intra-category differences among the target consonants; and pharyngeal and pharyngealized consonants which differ in the adjacent vowel. The study adopts the posttest-only control group design in which Arabic learners and non-learners constitute the research groups. This thesis exploits Best's (1995) perceptual assimilation model (PAM); Flege's (1995) speech learning model (SLM) and principles of gestural phonology in interpreting the split-plot ANOVA results. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed based on the study results.

“…4. The intelligibility of sung syllables generally increases (both consonant and vowel sound identities) with a consonant-vowel or vowel-consonant combination where both the vowel and the consonant are produced accurately and completely (Ali & Daniloff, 1974;Massaro, 1975;Schatz, 1954;Smith & Scott, 1980). 5.…”

This study is concerned with the design development implementation, and evaluation of a standardized method for teaching English diction for choral music performance. Review and analysis of various approaches to choral diction reveal that such methods gnerally are inconsistent and based primarily on tradition and personal preference. A review of research in the language, speech, hearing, and acoustical sciences facihtates a more systematic foundation for product planning and design. The product, the Articulatory Diction Development Method (ADDM), focuses on developing kinesthetic awareness and on control ling the speech articulators through various sung exercises. This type of approach is essential since the practices that transfer from speech into song generally are habitual and unconscious.After 12 weeks of preiminary and prototype testing and refining, the ADDM was implemented for 6 weeks in three high school choirs. retraining and posttraining recordings provided data for evaluating the method's effctiveness. Evaluation was based on choral tone preference responses and text intelligibility scores from a group of 47 judges. The method was significantly effective in improving choral tone and textual intelligibility in all three choral ensembles. Robert E. Fisher, West VirginiaUniversity, Morgantown The Design, Development, and Evaluation o f a Systematic Method f or English Diction i n Choral Performance Diction in choral music performance serves two primary functions. It assists in transmitting the textual message. It also brings to choral performance a large set of vowel colors and consonant articulations that affect the choir's overall tonal qualities. Appropriately, singers' approach to diction is generally considered important in the development of ensemble sound.Although many methods and quasi-methods are used in choral rehearsals, most have not been tested to assess their effectiveness in developing good tone quality or in maximizing text intelligibility in choral singing. By and large, these methods are inconsistent and based on tradition, opinion, and personal preference.The study's purpose was to develop, implement, and evaluate a standard systematic methodology for the teaching and practice of English diction in choral performance on the secondary school level and beyond. The Articulatory Diction Development Method (ADDM) is a product of this study. Downloaded from JRME 271 PRIMARY APPROACHES TO CHORAL DICTIONCurrent methods in the instruction and practice of English diction in vocal and choral music may be divided into three main categories: (1) "smear-slur" diction, (2) rhythmic diction, and (3) discrete phonetic diction. Uris (1971), who laid a foundation for smear-slur diction with a concept she identified as "scientific legato" (p. 55), suggests that smear-slur (the linkage of each speech sound to adjacent speech sounds without separate articulations) is the basis for both the singer's technique and the audience's response to the song. Linkage in speaking and singing, according to Uris, can be j...

This paper is an attempt to look at the sound system of Baghdadi Arabic in view of the Distinctive Feature Theory, in order to see how far such a theory would be applicable to the language variety being dealt with in this paper. The main purpose ,here, is to see how far is it possible to group the sounds of Baghdadi Arabic into classes according to their phonetic (distinctive) properties. Thus, on one hand, the paper is meant to deal with the sounds of Baghdadi Arabic in terms of Trubetzkoy's distinctive oppositions, using the method of contrasting the classes of sounds according to such oppositions.
