摘要

本研究对Santiago Mexquititlán Otomi(Hñäñho)的元音系统进行了声学描述,该语言是墨西哥中部一种濒危且研究不足的Oto Manguean语言变体。这项生产研究的目的是确定在一组相对平衡的母语为Hñäñho的双语者的声学实现中,是否保持了先前印象中描述的Hñáño元音之间的音位对比,或者Hñèñnio音位类别是否由于西班牙语的广泛影响而合并。为此,每个Hñäñho演讲者都记录了一份精心设计的90个Hñáño单词的列表,并对总共1507个代币的数据集进行了分析。构建线性混合效应模型来预测元音高度(B1–b0)和元音前后度(B2–B1)的Bark尺度相关性,并计算Pillai分数,以确定相邻Hñäñho元音对的重叠程度。演讲者的Hñäñho元音也与他们的西班牙语元音进行了比较。使用了五个西班牙语单词的列表,共记录了90个西班牙语元音标记。研究结果证实,Hñäñho的元音系统由10个不同的音素组成,这些音素是由年长的Hñáño使用者产生的。讨论了Hñäñho特定的语音细节,包括元音/u/作为[u̟]的前置实现,以及元音/õ/降低为[õ],这可能导致未来的/a–õ/合并。这些发现强调了尽管与西班牙语有广泛接触,但早期和持续接触土著双语者的母语对于保持Hñäñho的语音特征的重要性。

The vowel system of Santiago Mexquititlán Otomi (Hñäñho)
The present study provides an acoustic description of the vowel system of Santiago Mexquititlán Otomi (Hñäñho), an endangered and understudied Oto-Manguean language variety spoken in central Mexico. The goal of this production study was to determine whether the phonemic contrasts between Hñäñho vowels, as previously described impressionistically, are maintained in the acoustic realizations of a group of relatively balanced bilingual native speakers of Hñäñho or if Hñäñho phonemic categories are merging due to the extensive influence of Spanish. To this end, each Hñäñho speaker recorded a carefully designed list of 90 Hñäñho words and the resulting dataset of a total of 1507 tokens was subjected to analysis. Linear mixed-effects models were constructed to predict Bark scale correlates of vowel height (B1 – b0) and vowel frontness/backness (B2 – B1) and the Pillai scores were calculated in order to determine the degree of overlap for adjacent Hñäñho vowel pairs. The speakers’ Hñäñho vowels were also compared to their Spanish vowels. A list of five Spanish words was used and a total of 90 tokens of the Spanish vowels were recorded. The results confirm that the vowel system of Hñäñho, produced by older Hñäñho speakers, consists of 10 distinct phonemes. Hñäñho-specific phonetic details are discussed, including the fronted realization of the vowel /u/ as [u̟] and the lowering of the vowel /ɔ/ to [ɒ], which might lead to a future /a – ɔ/ merger. These findings underline the importance of early and sustained exposure to indigenous bilinguals’ native language for the maintenance of phonetic features of Hñäñho despite extensive contact with Spanish.

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
