  • Two types of [NT]s in Panãra

    Open AccessMyriam LapierreARTICLEGlossa a journal of general…2023

    This paper discusses articulatory and perceptual phonetic data on Panãra (ISO code: kre), a Jê language of Central Brazil, supporting the existence of a previously undocumented phonological distinction between two types of [NT] segments. Panãra exhibits a distinction between partially nasalized consonants arising from two distinct phonological processes: post-oralization of nasal consonants (/m, n, ɲ, ŋ/ → [mp, nt, ns, ŋk]), and pre-nasalization …

  • The Phonology of Panãra

    Myriam LapierreARTICLEInternational Journal of American…2023Citada por: 2Referencias: 14

    This paper provides a detailed description and analysis of the phonology of Panãra (ISO code: kre), a Northern Jê language spoken in central Brazil. Panãra exhibits a particularly large phonemic inventory, which contrasts oral and nasal segments, as well as short and long segments, in both its consonant and vowel inventories. Specifically, the language exhibits seventeen contrastive consonants, twenty-eight contrastive vowels, and a very complex …

  • The Phonology of Panãra

    Myriam LapierreARTICLEInternational Journal of American…2023Citada por: 1Referencias: 10

    This paper provides a detailed description and analysis of the prosodic phonology of Panãra (ISO code: kre), a Northern Jê language spoken in Central Brazil. Panãra exhibits culminative stress, which always falls on the last lexical vowel of a root or stem. This property gives rise to two stress patterns, namely ultimate and penultimate stress, where the latter arises from a process of vowel epenthesis that resolves a ban on word-final obstruent …

  • The typologically rare approximant inventory of Kajkwakhrattxi

    Open AccessTeela Huff, Myriam LapierreARTICLEProceedings of the Linguistic…2021

    Kajkwakhrattxi, a Northern Jê language spoken by fewer than 30 elders in Mato Grosso, Brazil, exhibits a typologically rare sound inventory, especially with respect to its series of approximants: /w, w̃, ʍ, ɽ, ɽ̃, j/, realized as a total of 17 different surface allophones: [w, w̃͡w, w̃, ʍ, ɥ, ɥ̃͡ɥ, ɥ̃, ɥ̊, ɾ, ɾ̃, ɽ, ɽ̃, ɻ, ɻ̃, ɻ̊, j, j̃]. We propose a novel reconstruction of Proto-Northern-Jê that accounts for this unusually dense inventory of ap…

  • Modeling Vowel Quantity Scales in Q Theory

    Open AccessKaree Garvin, Myriam Lapierre et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the Annual…2020

    A growing body of research suggests that vowels vary in degree of strength. These strength differences are borne out in the degree to which these segments undergo or trigger phonological processes such as stress assignment or harmony. Traditionally, this variability has been accounted for through binary differences in phonological representations, such as presence or absence of a segment in the underlying representation, presence or absence of a …

  • Predicting Vowel Systems

    Open AccessMyriam LapierreARTICLEProceedings of the Annual…2016

    This paper has both a descriptive and a theoretical goal. The first is to provide novel typological data on two severely understudied languages of the Jê family, Mebêngôkre and Panará, through an acoustic analysis of the vowels of the two languages. The second is to determine whether the predictions made by the Dispersion-Focalization Theory of vowel systems (DFT, Schwartz et al. 1997a) can account for the organization of the vowel systems of the…
