Schwa realisation in verbal inflection in two dialogue registers of German spontaneous speech
Word-final schwa in German inflectional suffixes shows varying realisations in spontaneous speech – from full realisations with varying duration to no realisation. While previous research has identified numerous social, distributional, and grammatical factors influencing the variation of phonetic variables in general, it remains unclear how fine-grained functional differences in different registers specifically affect schwa realisation. In this c…
Does Orkish Sound Evil? Perception of Fantasy Languages and Their Phonetic and Phonological Characteristics
Constructed languages, frequently invented to support world-building in fantasy and science fiction genres, are often intended to sound similar to the characteristics of the people who speak them. The aims of this study are (1) to investigate whether some fictional languages, such as Orkish whose speakers are portrayed as villainous, are rated more negatively by listeners than, for example, the Elvish languages, even when they are all produced wi…
Interaction between Phrasal Structure and Vowel Tenseness in German
Phrase-final lengthening affects the segments preceding a prosodic boundary. This prosodic variation is generally assumed to be independent of the phonemic identity. We refer to this as the ‘uniform lengthening hypothesis’ (ULH). However, in German, lax vowels do not undergo lengthening for word stress or shortening for increased speech rate, indicating that temporal properties might interact with phonemic identity. We test the ULH by comparing t…
Multi‐speaker experimental designs
Research on language use has become increasingly interested in the multimodal and interactional aspects of language – theoretical models of dialogue, such as the Communication Accommodation Theory and the Interactive Alignment Model are examples of this. In addition, researchers have started to give more consideration to the relationship between physiological processes and language use. This article aims to contribute to the advancement in studie…
Grandpa’ or ‘opera’? Production and perception of unstressed /a/ and /əʁ/ in German
In the description of German phonology, two distinct phonetic symbols are currently recommended for the transcription of the vowels [a] (a central low vowel, phonemically /a/) and [ɐ] (phonemically /əʁ/) in word-final, unstressed positions. The present study examines whether differences between these two vowels exist in production and perception of Standard German speakers from the north of Germany. In Experiment 1, six speakers produced a series…
An experimental study of tongue body loops in V1-V2-V1 sequences
Effects of Compatible versus Competing Rhythmic Grouping on Errors and Timing Variability in Speech
In typical speech words are grouped into prosodic constituents. This study investigates how such grouping interacts with segmental sequencing patterns in the production of repetitive word sequences. We experimentally manipulated grouping behavior using a rhythmic repetition task to elicit speech for perceptual and acoustic analysis to test the hypothesis that prosodic structure and patterns of segmental alternation can interact in the production …
The coordination of boundary tones and its interaction with prominence
Articulatory coordination in word-initial clusters of German
Bridging planning and execution
Prosodic and segmental effects on EPG contact patterns of word-initial German clusters
Acoustic and articulatory manifestations of vowel reduction in German
Recent phonological approaches incorporate phonetic principles in the motivation of phonological regularities, e.g. vowel reduction and neutralization in unstressed position by target undershoot. So far, evidence for this hypothesis is based on impressionistic and acoustic data but not on articulatory data. The major goal of this study is to compare formant spaces and lingual positions during the production of German vowels for combined effects o…
Jaw and Order
It is well-accepted that the jaw plays an active role in influencing vowel height. The general aim of the current study is to further investigate the extent to which the jaw is active in producing consonantal distinctions, with specific focus on coronal consonants. Therefore, tongue tip and jaw positions are compared for the German coronal consonants /s, , t, d, n, l/, that is, consonants having the same active articulators (apical/laminal) but d…
Articulatory variability of clutterers
In order to investigate the articulatory processes of the hasty and mumbled speech of clutterers, the kinematic variability was analysed by means of electromagnetic midsagittal articulography (EMMA). In contrast to stutterers, clutterers improve their intelligibility by concentrating on their speech task. Variability is an important criterion in comparable studies of stuttering and is discussed in terms of the stability of the speech motor system…
Hungarian palatal stop
This study examines the movement trajectories of the dorsal tongue movements during symmetrical /VCa/ -sequences, where /V/ was one of the Hungarian long or short vowels /i,a,u/ and C either the voiceless palatal or velar stop consonants. General aims of this study were to deliver a data-driven account for (a) the evidence of the division between dorsality and coronality and (b) for the potential role coarticulatory factors could play for the rel…

Stress distinction in German
Kinematic and dynamic analysis of syllable articulation
The present study is aimed at (1) testing the possibility of extracting dynamic gestural parameters from measured kinematic movement data of lingual articulation, and (2) asking the question whether these dynamic prameters may help to resolve the problem of what is articulatorily underlying the so called 'syllable cut' ('Silbenschnitt') in German. The results of the analysis of articulatory data for a first native speaker of German and observatio…
