“…D. Recasens In order to carry out a numerical evaluation of the EPG data, the 62 data points of the linguopalatal contact patterns were transformed into several index values applying the contact index method (Fontdevila, Pallare`s & Recasens, 1994). Three contact indices were calculated, namely, CAa or alveolar contact anteriority index, CCa or alveolar contact centrality index, and Qp or contact index at the palatal zone.…”

“…In the research of single consonants, frame of biggest contact place of palate and tongue in consonants is selected as the research object. Compound consonant adopts the same research method with single consonants, the biggest frame in the tongue and palate contact area of the primary consonants in the compound consonant before release are mainly choose to studied, extract Contact Anteriority in Fontdevila design (Contact Anteriority, abbreviated as CA) and Contact Centrality (Contact Centrality, abbreviated as CC) [5] two parameters. The greatest significance of two indexes is that although the index value overall increases with increase of the total contact places, but the values most significantly does not influence the absolute increase of contact places, but the distribution features of the contact place.…”

Abstract. In our study we focus on Xiahe dialect which is one of the most representative Ando dialect in Tibetan, and research the compound consonants of [nd], [ndz], [ ] and [ ]by dynamic electropalatograph, whose propositional nasal is [n]. In this paper, the frame of each compound consonant is analyzed, which is the biggest contact area of tongue and palatal of main consonant; and two parameters , contact anteriority (CA) and contact centrality(CC) are extracted. The influence of propositional nasal[n] on the main consonant is studied, comparing the differences between main consonants of compound consonants and single consonants which is the same place of articulation. From this study, we find that the position of the main consonant is affected by the propositional nasal in different degree and it is close to the direction of the preposition consonant [n].

“…The index Qp was obtained averaging all contacted electrodes at the palatal zone by the total amount of 32 electrodes at that zone and rescaling the resulting values so that a range between 0 to 1 was obtained. The indices CA and CCp were applied using the following formula (Fontdevila, Pallarès and Recasens, 1994):…”

The role of contextual and prosodic factors on consonant lenition and elision. The case of intervocalic [j] in Majorcan Catalan

This paper looks for an interpretation of the phonetic factors causing consonant lenition and elision to occur through an analysis of intervocalic [j] in Majorcan, a dialect of Catalan spoken in the Mediterranean island of Majorca. Articulatory and acoustic data for several Majorcan Catalan speakers still producing the palatal glide in all word positions and segmental environments show that the consonant is lower and more variable in intervocalic position than word initially and word finally. Lowering is enhanced by the presence of contextual low and mid low front vowels, mostly so if stressed and placed immediately after the palatal glide. Inspection of [VjV] formant trajectories suggests that, in spite of undergoing articulatory reduction, [j] is produced with an independent articulatory gesture; moreover, coarticulatory effects between the palatal glide and the following vowel may render the former phonetic segment perceptually indistinguishable from the latter and thus prone to undergo elision. Strongly lenited variants of intervocalic [j] appear to be receding, and conservative speakers show specially low realizations of the palatal glide which may have been widely spread among the speaking population at the time that the intervocalic consonant underwent systematic elision in some areas of Majorca in the past. These findings are in support of the notion that the lenition and subsequent elision of intervocalic consonants are assisted by contextual and prosodic factors.
