devoice

As such, other factors such as the presence of otitis [32], difficulty in auditory discrimination [24], and severity of phonological deviation [33,34] may affect the presence of the devoicing process.

Syllable final devoicing is not necessarily critical for intelligibility.

(4) Devoicing is indicated with an under-ring [d] or overring [[??]], as in <Jagd>, [jakt], or [TEXT NOT REPRODUCIBLE IN ASCII].

In word-final position the ejective /p/ and the voiced /b/ are both realized as the voiceless unreleased stop [p], which coincides with a wider pattern of final devoicing and deglottalization in the language.

(57) If we grant an intuitive phonetic adjustment allowing for a standard pattern of Romance pronunciation--vocalic metathesis, devoicing of initial /g/, and lowering of final /i/--we have in Hebrew glturi the source of Old Spanish cultre.

Due to the general tendency towards final devoicing (see, for example, German Kind, pronounced kint, of a German immigrant to Israel pronouncing Negev as negef), Giulio often pronounced DAG as DAK.

In addition, it possesses similar sonic qualities to a3 due to Russian's tendency towards final-consonant devoicing: "a3" (az) sounds exactly the same as "aCb" (as), differing only in the palatalization of the word-final "s" in acb.

Their topics include social and phonetic conditioners on the frequency and degree of "intrusive /r/" in New Zealand English, the role of vowel elision and devoicing in rhythm types and the speech of working-class youth in a banlieue of Paris, regional stereotypes and the perception of Japanese vowel devoicing, the identification of African American speech, the perception of indexical features in children's speech, and aspects of the acoustic analysis of imitation.

Four specific AAE features were investigated: (a) regular past-tense inflection [ed], (b) postvocalic consonant reduction /t/ and /d/ in final position, (c) devoicing final consonant /d/, and (d) /[theta],[??])/ substitution.

Two of the most common errors present in early speech include word-final devoicing and final consonant deletion (Dodd, 1995).

In any case, a direct parallel is Ashkun gasa 'cowdung' (with trace of a nasal consonant), and semantically comparable is Khashi kuster 'dunghill' which goes back to OIA *go-stara- (see 13685) (devoicing of mediae is quite common in Khashi).

The primary focus of this paper is LR's ongoing convergence to a ser to distinguishing phonetic and phonological elements shared between the two source languages, including: final obstruent devoicing, glottalization, and final consonant deletion.

Here belong palatalisations and transformations of velar fricatives, devoicing of final plosives, metatheses, loss of [n] in unaccented syllables, transformations of some newly created sequences of consonants, processes of spirantisation and despirantisation, and an occasional loss of the semivowel [w], as in swylc > such, etc.

There are a few fast-speech assimilations, such as palatalization, palatal glide spreading, and nasal devoicing, but since these only occur within domains that are defined by pause and rhythm, they are not primary means of investigating phonological boundaries.
