“…Variability in the duration of successive vowels has been shown to increase when a higher number of minimum syllables are included (Fuchs 2016). Therefore, following Deterding et al (2022), based on findings in (Fuchs 2016), only vowels produced in phrases with six or more syllables were included in the analysis. Non-vocalic sonorants were not labeled as vowels, and items with lateral codas were segmented into vowel/consonant segments where there was a visible change in quality or, in the case of no clear change, at the midpoint of the sequence.…”

“…Any vowels occurring in hesitations or false starts were excluded. Following Deterding et al (2022), items that were labeled as schwa and any vowels with a duration of less than 30 ms were excluded, as small differences in successive short vowels may exert undue influence on the nPVI measure. In the case of adjacent vowels (e.g., in words such as skiing /ski:IN/), these were treated as two separate vowels if there was a visible change in vowel quality (Torgersen and Szakay 2012).…”

Despite well-established Pasifika communities in Australia, there has been no examination of the English spoken by members of these communities in the sociolinguistic literature. Yet, research shows that Pasifika English may exhibit key differences from local ‘mainstream’ varieties. In this paper, we present a case study of members of a drill rap group with Pasifika heritage to examine whether Pasifika English features are evident in their speech. We first analyze their monophthong productions and compare these to those of mainstream Australian English speakers. We also analyze their dental fricative realizations to examine whether there is evidence of th-stopping and dh-stopping, commonly described as markers of Pasifika English. Finally, we investigate whether their speech is more syllable-timed than mainstream Australian English. The results show that these speakers produce monophthongs generally consistent with mainstream Australian English vowels, despite some small differences. We also show consistent th-fronting and dh-stopping in their speech, which serves as a marker of their Pasifika heritage. We find a tendency towards more syllable-timed speech; however, this occurs to a lesser extent than has been reported for other Pasifika varieties of English. The results suggest that these speakers index their Pasifika identities by employing indicators/markers of Pasifika English that diverge from mainstream Australian English.

“…Pembahasan alternasi bunyi perlu memperhatikan persebaran segmen dalam bahasa yang dilibatkan. Merujuk ke Tan & Ranaivo-Malançon (2009), Nik Safiah et al (2011), Fauzi (2018, dan Deterding, Gardiner, & Najib (2022), persebaran konsonan dalam bahasa Indonesia dan bahasa Melayu ditunjukkan oleh Tabel 1. Konsonan (selanjutnya disingkat dengan K) yang tertera di sebelah kiri dalam setiap kolom di atas bersifat fortis atau diproduksi dengan upaya otot alat ucap dan hembusan nafas yang relatif kuat, sedangkan K yang tertera di sebelah kanan bersifat lenis atau diproduksi dengan upaya otot alat ucap dan hembusan nafas yang relatif lemah (periksa Crystal, 2008).…”

Indonesian is derived from Standard Malay; while Ulu Kapuas is a dialect of Malay. Sameness between the two language codes is shown by their identical cognates. There are other cognates showing sound alternations. This article describes the sameness and the sound alternations undergone by the cognates. The alternations involve segments (consonants, vowels, diphthongs, and soundclusters) and show morphophonemic alternations involving replacement, addition, deletion, and syllabic position replacement of segments; the alternations also involve one of the suprasegmental features, i.e., length. The data corpora are in forms of the phonological forms of the cognates. The phonological forms of Ulu Kapuas cognates are obtained from and/or based on previous studies on phonological aspects of Ulu Kapuas lexical items conducted by Yusriadi (2007). Meanwhile, Indonesian cognates are Indonesian lexical items available in Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia becoming the equivalents for Ulu Kapuas lexical items afore-mentioned; and their phonological forms are determined by referring to the rules of graphemephoneme correspondences in Indonesian proposed by Fauzi (2015). Consonant weakening, consonant strengthening, lenition, fortition, vowel laxing, vowel tensing, diphthongization, monophthongization, tongueposition change in vowel production, metatheses, sound deletion, haplology, sound addition, assimilation, dissimilation, glottalization, nasalization, sound lengthening, word shortening, word lengthening, and dereduplication become findings. Phonotactics and the distributions of segments in the cognates shared by the two language codes also become findings.AbstrakBahasa Indonesia terderivasi dari bahasa Melayu Baku; dan Ulu Kapuas merupakan salah satu dialek bahasa Melayu. Kesamaan di antara dua kode bahasa itu ditunjukkan oleh kognat identik yang dimiliki bersama. Terdapat kognat lain yang menunjukkan alternasi bunyi. Artikel ini mendeskripsikan kesamaan dan alternasi bunyi yang dialami oleh kognat tersebut. Alternasi bunyi melibatkan segmen (konsonan, vokal, diftong, dan untaian bunyi) serta menunjukkan sejumlah alternasi morfofonemik yang melibatkan penggantian, penambahan, penghilangan, dan perubahan posisi silabis segmen; alternasi morfofonemik itu juga melibatkan perpanjangan bunyi sebagai salah satu aspek prosodi. Korpus data berupa bentuk fonologis kognat. Bentuk fonologis kognat Ulu Kapuas diperoleh dari dan/atau didasarkan pada kajian terdahulu atas aspek fonologis satuan leksikal Ulu Kapuas yang dilakukan oleh Yusriadi (2007). Sementara itu, kognat Indonesia merupakan satuan leksikal Indonesia yang ada dalam Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia (KBBI) dan merupakan padanan bagi satuan leksikal Ulu Kapuas tersebut di atas; dan bentuk fonologisnya ditentukan dengan merujuk ke kaidah grafem-fonem dalam bahasa Indonesia yang dianjurkan oleh Fauzi (2015). Pelemahan konsonan, penguatan konsonan, lenisi, fortisi, pengenduran vokal, penegangan vokal, diftongisasi, monoftongisasi, perubahan posisi-lidah dalam produksi vokal, penggabungan bunyi, metatesis, penghilangan bunyi, haplologi, penambahan bunyi, asimilasi, disimilasi, glotalisasi, nasalisasi, perpanjangan bunyi, pemendekan kata, pemanjangan kata, dan de-reduplikasi kata menjadi temuan. Kaidah fonotaktis serta persebaran segmen dalam kognat yang dimiliki oleh dua kode bahasa itu pun menjadi temuan.

Phonetics in the Brain

Spoken language is a rapidly unfolding signal: a complex code that the listener must crack to understand what is being said. From the structures of the inner ear through to higher-order areas of the brain, a hierarchy of interlinked processes transforms the acoustic signal into a linguistic message within fractions of a second. This Element outlines how speech is perceived and explores what the auditory system needs to achieve to make this possible. It traces a path through the system and discusses the mechanisms that enable us to perceive speech as a coherent sequence of words. This is combined with a brief history of research into language and the brain beginning in the nineteenth century, as well as an overview of the state-of-the-art neuroimaging and analysis techniques that are used to investigate phonetics in the brain today. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
