Variation and change in the production of te reo Māori closing vowel sequences
This study examines the vowel sequences /ai ae ao au ei oi ou/ in te reo Māori, the indigenous language of Aotearoa New Zealand. Descriptions state that these closing sequences are comprised of separate phonemes, which are realised as surface diphthongs within morphemes, but as hiatuses when they straddle a morpheme boundary. We examine whether this description is borne out through acoustic analysis of data from the MAONZE corpus, which contains …
Advancements of phonetics in the 21st century
Phonetic research in the 21st century has relied heavily on quantitative analysis. This article reviews the evolution of common practices and the emergence of newer techniques. Using a detailed literature survey, we show that most work follows a mainstream, which has shifted from ANOVAs to mixed-effects regression models over time. Alongside this mainstream, we highlight the increasing use of a diverse methodological toolbox, especially Bayesian …
Articulatory and acoustic variation in Polish palatalised retroflexes compared with plain ones
The present paper investigates articulatory and acoustic variation in Polish palatalised retroflex sibilants compared with their plain counterparts. It tests the hypothesis advanced by Hamann (2003: 44) that palatalised retroflexes are non-existent and that retroflexes in Polish change to palato-alveolars [ʃ ʒ t͡ʃ d͡ʒ] when being palatalised. Based on articulatory data from 20 speakers we provide evidence that at least part of the data (53.5%) ar…

Beyond Plain and Extra-Grammatical Morphology
This paper presents an investigation of echo-pairs in Hungarian. Echo-pairs are formed by duplicating a base with an altered initial consonant and have diminutive, playful, or intimate connotations (e.g., cica [t͡sit͡sɒ] “cat” → cica-mica [t͡sit͡sɒ-mit͡sɒ] “cat.dim”). Echo-pairs are commonly seen as an example of extra-grammatical morphology in the literature. Our goal in looking at this phenomenon is to gain a better understanding of the morphol…
Systematic co-variation of monophthongs across speakers of New Zealand English
The study of phonetic variation and change has tended to concentrate on particular variables in isolation, and it has proven challenging to move beyond an analysis of individual variables or small groups of variables, towards a better theoretical and empirical understanding of entire vowel systems. We develop a methodology that facilitates the study of co-variation, and introduce a large scale analysis of how elements of full sound systems co-var…
Evaluating generalised additive mixed modelling strategies for dynamic speech analysis
Voice quality and coda /r/ in Glasgow English in the early 20th century
We present acoustic and auditory analyses of changes to coda /r/ and voice quality in Glasgow English in the early twentieth century. Our initial acoustic analysis suggests that /r/ was weakening across the board based on an increase in F3. However, an auditory analysis of the same data finds no significant changes. An acoustic analysis of the same speakers’ vowels reveals that the shift in F3 is not unique to /r/. It reflects a change in voice q…
