  • Bilingualism and the pronunciation of Latvian intonations

    Dzintra Bond, Dace Markus et al.ARTICLEJournal of Baltic Studies2016References: 18

    For 50 years after World War II, Latvia was incorporated into the former Soviet Union. Although in theory the use of regional languages was not discouraged, in practice knowledge of Russian was obligatory. Since restoration of the country’s independence in 1991, Latvian has again become the official language, and knowledge of Russian is widespread but optional. These political events have created a natural experiment in the possible effects of al…

  • Sixty years of bilingualism affects the pronunciation of Latvian vowels

    Z S Bond, Verna Stockmal et al.ARTICLELanguage Variation and Change2006Cited by: 2References: 1

    For fifty years after World War II, Latvia was incorporated into the former Soviet Union. Although in theory the use of regional languages was not discouraged, in practice knowledge of Russian was obligatory. Since 1991, Latvian has again become the official language, and knowledge of Russian is widespread but optional. These political events have created a natural experiment in the effects of almost universal bilingualism on a language. To asses…

  • Measures of Native and Non-Native Rhythm in a Quantity Language

    Open AccessVerna Stockmal, Dace Markus et al.ARTICLELanguage and Speech2005Cited by: 3References: 6

    The traditional phonetic classification of language rhythm as stress-timed or syllable-timed is attributed to Pike. Recently, two different proposals have been offered for describing the rhythmic structure of languages from acoustic-phonetic measurements. Ramus has suggested a metric based on the proportion of vocalic intervals and the variability ( SD) of consonantal intervals. Grabe has proposed Pairwise Variability Indices (nPVI, rPVI) calcula…

  • Evaluating native and non-native Latvian

    Dzintra Bond, Dace Markus et al.ARTICLEJournal of Baltic Studies2003

    Since the end of WWII, Latvians have lived with asymmetrical bilingualism. To what extend has this situation affected the language? Young native speakers of Latvian were presented with short samples of Latvian as produced by native speakers and by ethnic Russians. The Latvian listeners were extremely good at identifying speech samples produced by Latvians vs. Russians. They judged the pronunciation of Latvians from all age groups as acceptable bu…

    ОТНОСИТЕЛЬНО НИСХОДЯЩЕЙ СЛОГОВОЙ ИНТОНАЦИИ В РАЗЛИЧНЫХ ПРОСОДИЧЕСКИХ СИСТЕМАХ ЛАТЫШСКОГО ЯЗЫКА На основе осциллографического анализа исследован характер ни­сходящей слоговой интонации в трех разных просодических систе­мах латышского языка: в селонских и в неселонских говорах верхнелатышского диалекта и в среднелатышском диалекте (а также в латышском литературном языке). Выдвинута гипотеза - характер слоговой тонемы варьируется, если в просодическ…
