摘要

在本文中，我们研究了伊博语（Igboid，尼日尔-刚果语）Imilike [ìmìlìkè]方言中的元音声学，这是以前从未做过的。标准伊格博语有八个元音，而以前基于听觉的研究发现伊米利克语有十一个元音。与标准伊格博语一样，伊米力克语也对高级/缩舌舌根（ATR 与 RTR）元音进行了对比。我们发现，伊米力克语共有 11 个元音，其中最可靠的区分标准是 F1、B1、500Hz 以下发声能量（dB）和持续时间。这项研究的结果还表明，伊米利克语中的 RTR元音可能涉及咽化过程中的喉收缩和运动。ATR 和 RTR schwas 与该语言中的其他 ATR 和 RTR元音具有相似的语音分布和声学模式。

Eleven vowels of Imilike Igbo including ATR and RTR schwa

In this paper, we examine the acoustics of vowels in the Imilike [ìmìlìkè] dialect of Igbo (Igboid, Niger-Congo), which has not previously been done. While Standard Igbo has eight vowels, previous auditorily-based research has identified eleven vowels in Imilike. Like Standard Igbo, Imilike contrasts vowels in Advanced/Retracted Tongue Root (ATR vs. RTR). We find that there are eleven vowels, distinguished most reliably by F1, B1, energy (dB) of voiced sound below 500Hz and duration. The results of this study also suggest that RTR vowels in Imilike might involve the laryngeal constriction and movement that accompany pharyngealization. The ATR and RTR schwas have similar phonological distribution and acoustic patterns as the other ATR and RTR vowels in the language.

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
