Contrastive Alveolar/Retroflex Phonemes in Singapore Mandarin Bilinguals
Open AccessHannah L Goh, Fei Ting Woon et al.ARTICLELanguage and Speech2024References: 26
The standard Beijing variety of Mandarin has a clear alveolar–retroflex contrast for phonemes featuring voiceless sibilant frication (i.e., /s/, /ʂ/, /ʈs/, /ʈʂ/, /ʈsh/, /ʈʂh/). However, some studies show that varieties in the ‘outer circle’, such in Taiwan, have a reduced contrast for these speech sounds via a process known as ‘deretroflexion’. The variety of Mandarin spoken in Singapore is also considered as ‘outer circle’, as it exhibits influe…
Phonological potentials and the lower vocal tract
Open AccessScott R Moisik, Ewa Czaykowska-Higgins et al.ARTICLEJournal of the International…2021
This paper outlines a theoretical approach to speech sound systems based on the notion of phonological potentials: physical ‘pressures’ or biases that give rise to discrete structure and the tendencies associated with this structure that arise from the physical nature of speech sound systems. We apply this approach to a poorly understood area of phonology – phenomena of the lower vocal tract (LVT) – through a schematic that encapsulates the compl…

A study of laryngeal gestures in Mandarin citation tones using simultaneous laryngoscopy and laryngeal ultrasound (SLLUS)
Open AccessScott R Moisik, Hua Lin et al.ARTICLEJournal of the International…2014Cited by: 11References: 48
In this work, Mandarin tone production is examined usingsimultaneous laryngoscopy and laryngeal ultrasound(SLLUS). Laryngoscopy is used to obtain information about laryngeal state, and laryngeal ultrasound is used to quantify changes in larynx height. With this methodology, several observations are made concerning the production of Mandarin tone in citation form. Two production strategies are attested for low tone production: (i) larynx lowering …
