STRESS CONDITIONED PHONOLOGICAL PROCESS: A CASE STUDY OF ITALIAN PALATALIZATION
Conference Paper
Full-text available
  • Aug 2023
This study examines the interaction between lexical prominence and palatal/velar consonants in Italian. The specific phenomenon of interest is the palatalization of /k/ in, e.g., 'cardiaci' [kar.ˈdi.a.tʃi] but not in 'ubriachi' [u.bri.ˈa.ki], which is argued to be conditioned by the position of /k/ relative to lexical prominence. The aim of the stu...

... results of two mixed models on closure ratio, grouped by manners of articulation, are presented in Table 1. The important general pattern is that, for all consonants, the closure phase is more important in POST than in FAR. ...

... Comparing the acoustic properties of velar stops in nonce words, such as, [ˈpi.ta.ki] (FAR) vs. [pi.ˈta.ki] (CLOSE), our recent studies (Shao et al., 2023b;Shao et al., 2023c) found that the release of [k, ɡ] before [i] has a similar acoustic shape to [t ͡ ʃ, ͡ dʒ] in terms of center of gravity. This confirms Guion (1998). ...
... This is compared to the same vowel and consonant in an unstressed condition. Discussing our articulatory results in relation to acoustic findings presented in our work (Shao et al., 2023a;Shao et al., 2023b;Shao et al., 2023c) will allow us to better understand acoustic and perceptual consequences of these stressinduced modulations. ...
... The first factor is the longer duration of the stressed vowel. The stressed vowel being more than two times as long (Shao et al., 2023b) inevitably delays all subsequent articulatory gestures. The second factor is the larger displacement of the stressed vowel. ...

... Stressed vowels in Italian follow these typological generalizations, they are shown to be longer in duration, and have higher peak intensity compared to their unstressed counterparts [2,3,4,5]. Their formant structure is also more peripheral when stressed [6]. Moreover, Italian has a languagespecific stress correlate: duration is sensitive to the position in which main stress occurs: the penultimate stressed syllable is longer than the antepenultimate stressed one [7,8]. ...
... This paper aims to fulfill the following three objectives through a re-analysis of an EMA data set on Italian we previously recorded [18,6]: 1) Replication of the durational differences found in previous studies. 2) Relating stress-induced formant patterns to the tongue dorsum position over the time course of the stressed vowel. ...
