Bilingualism and the pronunciation of Latvian intonations
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…
Measures of Native and Non-Native Rhythm in a Quantity Language
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
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…
Effects of long-term exposure to English on Latvian pronunciation
Speakers of minority languages, when they live in environments in which they are immersed in a widely-spoken ambient language, are commonly bi-lingual or multi-lingual. The linguistic competence of bilingual speakers is not necessarily equivalent to that of mono-linguals. Rather, bilingual speakers often develop strategies for perception and for production which are effective but different from mono-lingual speaker strategies.1 The purpose of thi…

A spoken and written tale
The phonetic realization of trochaeic meter in Latvian and Estonian
Introduction Both Latvian and Estonian folk songs employ trochaeic lines. The two languages are genetically unrelated and typologically different; yet the folk poetry produced by the two peoples has developed a similar metric structure. We believe that the suprasegmental system of a language is crystallized in the metric structure of its traditional poetry;1 would it then not follow that similar metric structures found in traditional poetry imply…
