Abstract

This paper reports on an acoustic study of the retroflex lateral /ɭ/ and non-retroflex lateral /l/, as well as on the schwas following the two laterals in the Zibo dialect. Analyses of formants measured at the temporal midpoint of the lateral and schwa segments show that the retroflex lateral /ɭ/ has a significantly lower F1 as well as a significantly larger C/V duration ratio than the non-retroflex lateral. No significant difference is found in F2 or F3 of the two laterals. Moreover, the schwa following /ɭ/ has a significantly lower F1 than that following /l/, which could play a robust role of cue enhancement in distinguishing the preceding laterals, resulting in an overall enhancement of an otherwise auditorily vulnerable contrast in the laterals. Some inter-speaker variation is observed in the realization of /ɭ/, especially in F3, which may be indicative of a change in progress. These results provide insights into the phonemic status of the retroflex lateral in the Zibo dialect, which are further discussed in light of phonetic and phonological explanations.
汉语淄博方言中的倒装和非倒装侧音
本文报告了对淄博方言中的后挠侧音/ɭ/和非后挠侧音/l/以及两个侧音之后的分裂音的声学研究。对在侧音和分裂音片段的时间中点测量到的声母进行的分析表明,后挠性侧音/ɭ/的F1明显低于非后挠性侧音,C/V持续比也明显大于非后挠性侧音。两个侧音的 F2 和 F3 没有明显差异。此外,/ɭ/ 后面的分裂音的 F1 明显低于/l/ 后面的分裂音,这可能在区分前面的侧声时起到了强有力的提示增强作用,从而导致侧声中原本听觉上脆弱的对比得到了整体增强。在/ɭ/的发音中,尤其是在 F3 中,可以观察到一些不同说话者之间的差异,这可能表明发音正在发生变化。这些结果提供了对淄博方言中后发侧音音位地位的见解,并根据语音学和音韵学的解释作了进一步的讨论。

期刊介绍: The Journal of the International Phonetic Association (JIPA) is a forum for work in the fields of phonetic theory and description. As well as including papers on laboratory phonetics/phonology and related topics, the journal encourages submissions on practical applications of phonetics to areas such as phonetics teaching and speech therapy, as well as the analysis of speech phenomena in relation to computer speech processing. It is especially concerned with the theory behind the International Phonetic Alphabet and discussions of the use of symbols for illustrating the phonetic structures of a wide variety of languages. JIPA now publishes online audio files to supplement written articles Published for the International Phonetic Association
