Abstract

This paper presents an acoustic description of the production of the plain uvular /q/ in the speech of eight speakers of South Bolivian Quechua. While this sound patterns phonologically as a stop, its primary realization is as a voiced continuant. Variation is documented with respect to segmental and prosodic position. Segmentally, a voiced continuant is the most common realization intervocalically and after a rhotic, while a voiceless continuant is comparatively more frequent after a voiceless sibilant, and voiced stops are most common after a nasal. In post-pausal position, voiced continuant productions are still attested and are particularly common for certain speakers, suggesting that this sound category has been reanalyzed as a continuant. For other speakers, voiceless stop productions are common or preferred in post-pausal position, reflecting a standard prosodically conditioned lenition pattern. Interestingly, voiced stops also show increased frequency in post-pausal position. The production of the plain uvular is analyzed in spontaneous speech collected in an interview format, as well as in scripted speech from a word list task. A second analysis compares the realization of /q/ to the other three stops /p t k/ in the language in spontaneous speech, and finds significantly more continuant productions for /q/.
各种南玻利维亚克丘亚语中普通小音/q/的语音实现
本文从声学上描述了八位南玻利维亚克丘亚语使用者的讲话中悬雍垂/q/的产生。虽然这个声音在音韵上是一个停顿,但它的主要实现是作为一个有声的连续音。变异记录在节段和韵律位置方面。在分段上,有声连续音是最常见的元音间和rhotic之后的实现,而无声连续音在无声sibilant之后相对更常见,有声停顿在鼻音之后最常见。在后贫困状态下,有声的延续音作品仍然得到证实,并且对某些说话者来说特别常见,这表明这个声音类别已经被重新分析为延续音。对于其他说话者来说,在贫困后的位置上,无声停顿是常见的或首选的,反映了标准的韵律条件连音模式。有趣的是,浊音停顿在贫困后位置的频率也有所增加。在访谈形式中收集的自发演讲以及单词列表任务中的脚本演讲中,分析了普通悬雍垂的产生。第二个分析比较了/q/在自发语音中的实现与语言中的其他三个停止/p t k/,并发现/q/有更多的连续产生。

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
