摘要

先前的研究表明,美式英语障碍中声门脉冲的数量因方言而异,有些方言的特点是声门脉冲率很高。本研究是对明尼苏达州双城都会区的结束语障碍进行调查。对30名20多岁、50多岁、80多岁的母语使用者进行的制作任务显示,受多种语言因素的制约,他们的贡献非常强劲。几乎相同比例(30%)的阻塞表面为完全发声或完全发声,其余表面为部分发声。这些结果表明,双子城的阻塞开采与明尼苏达州铁山脉的开采有着根本的不同。进一步检查语音发声的次要线索,在所有情况下,线索都是阻碍中存在的声门脉冲量的重要因素,而不管潜在的发声。然而,这些信号与声门搏动没有代偿关系。最后,在使用线索方面存在代际差异,这表明可能存在线索重加权:老一辈更多地依靠声门脉冲来表示潜在的发声,而年轻一代同样使用声门脉冲和前元音持续时间。总之,这个区域的发声在音系上是稳定的,但在音系上是变化的。

Acoustic cues and obstruent devoicing in Minnesotan English
Previous research shows that the amount of glottal pulsing in American English obstruents varies by dialect, with some dialects characterized by high rates of devoicing. The present study is an examination of word-final obstruent devoicing in the Twin Cities metro area of Minnesota. A production task with 30 native speakers in their 20s, 50s, and 80s shows robust devoicing, which is conditioned by multiple linguistic factors. Nearly equal proportions (30%) of obstruents surface as fully voiced or fully devoiced, and the ∼rest surface as partially de-voiced. These results show that obstruent devoicing in the Twin Cities is fundamentally different from devoicing in the Iron Range of Minnesota. Secondary cues to phonological voicing are further examined, and in all cases, the cues are significant factors in the amount of glottal pulsing present in an obstruent, regardless of underlying voicing. However, the cues do not have a compensatory relationship with glottal pulsing. Finally, there are generational differences in the use of cues, suggesting a possible cue re-weighting: older generations rely more on glottal pulsing to signal underlying voicing, while younger generations equally use glottal pulsing and preceding vowel duration. In sum, devoicing in this region is phonologically stable, but phonetically changing.

期刊介绍: American Speech has been one of the foremost publications in its field since its founding in 1925. The journal is concerned principally with the English language in the Western Hemisphere, although articles dealing with English in other parts of the world, the influence of other languages by or on English, and linguistic theory are also published. The journal is not committed to any particular theoretical framework, and issues often contain contributions that appeal to a readership wider than the linguistic studies community. Regular features include a book review section and a “Miscellany” section devoted to brief essays and notes.
