  • Probing syllable structure through acoustic measurements

    Open AccessKarthik Durvasula, Mohammed Qasem Ruthan et al.ARTICLEPhonology2021

    Previous research has found that different syllabic (particularly simplex vs. complex onset) organisations have different temporal stability signatures in articulations – this observation is based entirely on articulatory measurements. In this article, we present the results of three production experiments which show that similar correlations between onset organisation and temporal stability metrics are observable in an analysis of acoustic measu…

  • Vowel Quality Cues to Variable Nasal Adaptation in Mandarin Loanword Phonology

    Open AccessHo-Hsin Huang, Yen-Hwei Lin et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the Annual…2019

    Variation in phonological adaptation has not always been analysed in detail, but some studies on Standard Mandarin (SM) loanword phonology, where a seemingly wide range of variation is present, have started to uncover cases where instances of variable adaptation are contextually conditioned (e.g. Hsieh, Kenstowicz, & Mou, 2009 on SM nasal codas; Lin 2008 on SM vowels). Our study presents corpus and experimental data in which intervocalic English …

  • Temporal Coordination and Sonority of Jazani Arabic Word-Initial Clusters

    Open AccessMohammed Qasem Ruthan, Karthik Durvasula et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the Annual…2019

    Previous research on the organization of syllable-structure, relying on the timing of the articulators suggests that though both English and Moroccan Arabic have word-initial consonant clusters, Moroccan Arabic does not have complex onsets, while English does (Browman and Goldstein, 1988; Byrd, 1995; Shaw et al., 2011). However, typically, such research employs expensive articulatory equipment. This limits the research to those who have access to…

  • No More Conflicting Directionality

    Open AccessXiaomei Wang, Yen-Hwei Lin et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the Annual…2017

    Tianjin Chinese (hereafter Tianjin) exhibits complex interactions among its disyllabic tone sandhi rules, leading to both left-to-right and right-to-left rule applications in trisyllabic sequences (e.g. Chen 1986, X. Wang 2003, Lin 2008). Which directionality to adopt for each particular sequence is arbitrary and cannot be accounted for by any known principles. In addition, some disyllabic tone sandhi rules do not always apply in trisyllabic sequ…

  • To Epenthesize or Not? Adaptations of English Coda [m] in Standard Mandarin Loanwords

    Open AccessHo-Hsin Huang, Yen-Hwei Lin et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the Annual…2016

    This study investigates how English coda [m] is adapted into Standard Mandarin (SM) loanwords both in the existing corpora and in perceptual similarity adaptation data from monolingual SM and bilingual SM-English speakers. The nasal [m] in coda position is prohibited in SM. Deletion, nasal place change ([m]-->[n]/[ŋ]) and vowel epenthesis are the possible repair strategies. The generalizations identified in the corpora indicate that deletion neve…

    Open AccessYen-Hwei Lin, Yen‐Hwei LinARTICLEPhonology2001

    This new addition to the series on the phonology of the world's languages edited by Jacques Durand is the most comprehensive study of the synchronic phonology of Standard Chinese (or Standard Mandarin) since the publication of Cheng's (1973) monograph. Duanmu provides a detailed description of the phonological facts in Standard Chinese (henceforth SC), some of which are new or little studied before, offers new perspectives on old problems and pro…

  • Syllabic and moraic structures in Piro

    Open AccessYen-Hwei Lin, Yen‐Hwei LinARTICLEPhonology1998

    Syllable structure in Piro, an Arawakan language spoken in Eastern Peru, exhibits properties that are of considerable interest. First, Piro allows three-consonant clusters in the syllabic onset (Matteson 1965) but a vowel-deletion rule is blocked to avoid such clusters, which makes it difficult to simply attribute the blocking to well-formedness constraints on syllable structure (cf. Kisseberth 1970a, b). Second, the onset consonant clusters are …

  • Degenerate Affixes and Templatic Constraints

    Yen-Hwei Lin, Yen‐Hwei LinARTICLELanguage1993Citada por: 1

    This formal study of morphologically induced rime-change (bianyun) phenomena in Chinese argues that rime change is effected by affixation of subsegmental morphemes and that the derived forms are subject to prosodically defined templatic constraints. The Affix Manifestation Principle is proposed to account for the tendency of affix preservation. Various processes are motivated to manifest the effect of affixation and to satisfy the templatic const…
