摘要
本文介绍了西班牙语中/l/的语境略读数据。使用腭电图(EPG)来检查在前声母和前辅音环境中词尾/l/的实现,以确定/l/的发音减少在多大程度上归因于与以下音段的协同发音。Josselyn 1907年的研究表明,在不同的语音环境中,与/l/发音相关的发音结构会持续松弛。这些描述反过来又为西班牙语音学的标准参考著作提供了信息(例如Navarro Tomás 1957, Gili Gaya 1966)。此外,其他语言的理论研究支持基于音节的/l/-allophony和略读模式(例如英语/l/-darkening和vocalisation),而工具研究揭示了这些模式的复杂性,对基于音节的分析提出了挑战。本文报道的EPG研究结果证实,西班牙语的/l/-降低是一种梯度现象,是由拮抗协同关节力引起的。因此,不能仅根据音节化算法来预测数据中出现的约简模式。
Contextual reduction of word-final /l/ in Spanish: An EPG study
This article presents data on the contextual reduction of /l/ in Spanish. Electropalatography (EPG) was used to examine realisations of word-final /l/ in prevocalic and preconsonantal environments in order to determine to what extent articulatory reduction of the /l/ is attributable to coarticulation with following segments. Previous studies using static palatography (Josselyn 1907) describe continuous relaxation of the articulatory stricture associated with /l/ in different phonological environments. These descriptions, in turn, have informed standard reference works on Spanish phonetics (e.g. Navarro Tomás 1957, Gili Gaya 1966). Additionally, theoretical work on other languages has argued in favour of syllable-based accounts of /l/-allophony and reduction patterns (e.g. English /l/-darkening and vocalisation), whereas instrumental studies have revealed complexities to these patterns that challenge syllable-based analyses. The findings of the EPG study reported on here confirm that /l/-reduction in Spanish is a gradient phenomenon that arises due to antagonistic coarticulatory forces. Thus, the reduction patterns that emerge in the data cannot be predicted on the basis of syllabification algorithms alone.
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
