Gafos","doi":"10.1159/000501508","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1159/000501508","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract We examined gestural coordination in C1C2 (C1 stop, C2 lateral or tap) word initial clusters using articulatory (electromagnetic articulometry) and acoustic data from six speakers of Standard Peninsular Spanish. We report on patterns of voice onset time (VOT), gestural plateau duration of C1, C2, and their overlap. For VOT, as expected, place of articulation is a major factor, with velars exhibiting longer VOTs than labials. Regarding C1 plateau duration, voice and place effects were found such that voiced consonants are significantly shorter than voiceless consonants, and velars show longer duration than labials. For C2 plateau duration, lateral duration was found to vary as a function of onset complexity (C vs. CC). As for overlap, unlike in French, where articulatory data for clusters have also been examined, clusters where both C1 and C2 are voiced show more overlap than where voicing differs. Further, overlap was affected by the C2 such that clusters where C2 is a tap show less overlap than clusters where C2 is a lateral. We discuss these results in the context of work aiming to uncover phonetic (e.g., articulatory or perceptual) and phonological forces (e.g., syllabic organization) on timing.","PeriodicalId":55608,"journal":{"name":"Phonetica","volume":"1 1","pages":"448 - 478"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2019-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91181152","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Book notice: Second Language Acquisition of Mandarin Chinese Tones — Beyond First-Language Transfer","authors":"M. Yan","doi":"10.1159/000501803","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1159/000501803","url":null,"abstract":"Second Language Acquisition of Mandarin Chinese Tones – Beyond First-Language Transfer by Hang Zhang, as the title suggests, looks at how second-language (L2) learners, specifically non-tonal language speakers, i.e. English, Japanese and Korean speakers, learn Mandarin Chinese tones. This book offers novel contributions to the research of the L2 acquisition with the aim to figure out the factors of learners’ errors that are beyond learners’ first language (L1). The book is structured in seven chapters, which can be further divided into four main parts as follows: The first part (chapters 1 and 2) offers an introduction to the phonetics and phonology of Mandarin Chinese tones, prosodic structures of the three languages that are the native languages of L2 groups (English, Japanese and Korean) researched in this book, and a comprehensive overview of the previous research devoted to the L1 and L2 acquisition of Chinese tones. Chapter 1 also highlights the importance and difficulty of learning Chinese tones. Chapter 2 particularly focuses on three puzzles that previous research has not resolved with the explanation of L1 transfer, i.e. “(1) positional effects of contour tones (how T2 and T4 are constrained by anticipatory coarticulation), (2) the order of the acquisition of Mandarin tones (the difficulty of the acquisition of identical tone pairs compared to nonidentical tone pairs), and (3) the paradox of T3 (the acquisition of the notorious T3)” (p. 26). The second part (chapter 3) presents the methodology that was used to address the three puzzles discussed in the previous chapter. This part provides the information on test materials, participants, recording procedure, guidelines on assessing L2 tones and a very brief summary of the statistical analyses of the data used in the next part. The chapter emphasizes a detailed and logical description of how native Chinese speakers judge the correctness of a token produced by participants. In addition to correctness judgements, pitch values were also measured and evaluated as one of the assessment criteria. The third part, which is constituted by the book’s three core chapters 4–6, describes the research questions, hypotheses, research findings and discussions of the experiments corresponding to the three puzzles raised in the first part. Each of the three chapters focuses on one aspect, so the three chapters are basically independent of each other, but they are also closely linked to each other as they are supported by the same set of data. Chapter 4 investigates the role of anticipatory coarticulation in the production of T2 and T4 in disyllabic Chinese words by first introducing the nature of anticipatory tone coarticulation and then calculating the accuracy rates, maximum F0 and error types of these tones as produced by the three groups of learners. The results show that beyond L1 transfer, anticipatory dissimilation results in particular error patterns by L2 adult learners.

Two aspects of Spanish tap production were examined: lingual constriction rates and the degree of lingual constriction. Multiple measures associated with Spanish proficiency, use, and input were reduced to a smaller number of dimensions using principal component analysis, and the effects of the components on heritage speakers’ tap production were analyzed using mixed effects modeling. The overall findings suggest that dominance in Spanish may not have an effect on the degree of lingual constriction of heritage speakers’ taps, but it does have an effect on how frequently heritage speakers produce taps with lingual constriction. Spanish use and input were found to be the main contributors to heritage speakers’ target-like production of taps.","PeriodicalId":55608,"journal":{"name":"Phonetica","volume":"46 1","pages":"55 - 80"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2019-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74450567","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Niebuhr","doi":"10.1159/000499609","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1159/000499609","url":null,"abstract":"Globalization has had many notable effects on communication in the past decades. Two of them are: firstly, that English has become a major lingua franca for conducting business, gaining education, and engaging in social interaction, and secondly, that in these communication situations, “many, if not most, interactions in English around the world take place without the involvement of a native speaker” (p. 3). Furthermore, compared to other levels of language such as syntax and morphology, pronunciation is, according to most empirical evidence, the make-it-orbreak-it factor when it comes to informationally and socially successful conversations among non-native (L2) speakers of English as well as between L2 speakers and native (L1) speakers. In other words, globalization of economics and the media have given a new meaning to the research and teaching of phonological and phonetic issues. It is against this background that the monograph of John M. Levis was written. With a focus on English, its chapters are built around questions like: • How should the fact that most oral communication in the world today takes place between L2 speakers shape the research and training of phonological and phonetic issues? • How can we determine the relative importance of segmental and prosodic features for speech intelligibility and, thus, better decide which features should be given priority in L2 teaching? • To what extent should these decisions take into account contextual, situational, stylistic, and linguistic variables? The above questions already imply that Levis’ book is firmly anchored within the field of applied speech sciences. Yet, it is not a regular course book. It is a scientific monograph that provides an interdisciplinary state-of-the art overview of languageintrinsic and -extrinsic intelligibility effects, based on which the author develops a plea for reconsidering traditional empirical and theoretical approaches to secondlanguage teaching. Accordingly, the practical value of the book is limited insofar as it contains no specific instructions or exercises on how segmental and prosodic features Received: January 7, 2019 Accepted: February 20, 2019 Published online: May 16, 2019","PeriodicalId":55608,"journal":{"name":"Phonetica","volume":"2 1","pages":"289 - 293"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2019-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72638027","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
