Abstract

An empirical corpus-based study of the likelihood of realizing the Polish nasal vowel /ɔ̃/ word-finally as [ɔm] (i.e. of 'nasal stopping') is presented. The goal was to verify whether the phenomenon exhibits a cumulative context effect, with words typically occurring in an environment favoring a particular phonetic variant showing higher rates of that variant regardless of environment. The results show that nasal stopping is more likely before stop-initial words than before words beginning in other sounds, if there is no intervening pause. Results with regard to the hypothesis that words typically followed by stops will show higher likelihood of nasal stopping, however, remain inconclusive.

大波兰波兰语的词尾/音/:累积语境效应?

本文提出了一项基于语料库的实证研究，研究了波兰语鼻音元音/ / / word-finally实现为[[m](即“鼻音停顿”)的可能性。目的是验证这种现象是否表现出累积上下文效应，即通常出现在有利于特定语音变体的环境中的单词，无论环境如何，该变体的出现率都更高。结果表明，如果没有中间停顿，在以停顿开头的单词前比在以其他声音开头的单词前更容易出现鼻音停顿。结果关于假设的单词通常跟着停顿将显示更高的可能性鼻塞，然而，仍然没有定论。

期刊介绍： Research in Language (RiL) is an international journal committed to publishing excellent studies in the area of linguistics and related disciplines focused on human communication. Language studies, as other scholarly disciplines, undergo two seemingly counteracting processes: the process of diversification of the field into narrow specialized domains and the process of convergence, strengthened by interdisciplinarity. It is the latter perspective that RiL editors invite for the journal, whose aim is to present language in its entirety, meshing traditional modular compartments, such as phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics, and offer a multidimensional perspective which exposes varied but relevant aspects of language, e.g. the cognitive, the psychological, the institutional aspect, as well as the social shaping of linguistic convention and creativity.
