Abstract

ABSTRACT There are three phonological hypotheses on the Kaytetye segmental inventory. Hypothesis 1 proposes 30 segments: four monophthongs, one diphthong and 25 consonants. Hypothesis 2 proposes 54 segments: two monophthongs and 52 consonants. Hypothesis 3 proposes 55 segments: three monophthongs and 52 consonants. The choice between these three hypotheses has significant implications for models of phonological contrast, phonotactic organization, syllable structure and partial reduplication processes in Kaytetye. We evaluate the three hypotheses against evidence from these domains and find that Hypothesis 1 is the best supported phonological analysis. Companion analysis of the phonetic distribution and functional load of medial Kaytetye monophthong tokens was conducted by phonetically-trained transcribers, and compared with groupings of vowels obtained through unsupervised classification of first and second formant values using finite Gaussian mixture models. Both transcriber-perceived and machine-learnt categorizations agree that none of the four monophthongs are marginal, nor can their qualities be attributed to phonological context effects. These data demonstrate the importance of both phonological and phonetic evidence in evaluating the structure and properties of vowel systems in under-described languages.

摘要关于Kayteteye节段清单,有三种语音假说。假设1提出了30个音段:四个单元音、一个双元音和25个辅音。假设2提出了54个音段:两个单音和52个辅音。假设3提出了55个音段:三个单音段和52个辅音。这三个假设之间的选择对Kayteteye的语音对比、表音组织、音节结构和部分重叠过程模型具有重要意义。我们根据这些领域的证据对这三个假设进行了评估,发现假设1是最受支持的语音分析。通过语音训练的转录器对内侧Kaytetye单元音标记的语音分布和功能负荷进行了配对分析,并与通过使用有限高斯混合模型对第一和第二共振峰值进行无监督分类而获得的元音分组进行了比较。转录者感知分类和机器学习分类都认为,这四个单音节都不是边缘的,它们的品质也不能归因于语音语境效应。这些数据证明了语音和语音证据在评估描述不足的语言中元音系统的结构和特性方面的重要性。
