Arua, Arua E. – Indian Journal of Applied Linguistics, 1999
Discusses some of the segmental and suprasegmental features that give Swazi English a unique accent. (Author/VWL)
Descriptors: English (Second Language), Foreign Countries, Language Variation, Phonemes
Nash, R. – Michigan Linguistic Society, 1969
In this paper the author examines two kinds of phonological interference observable in the speech of Puerto Rican bilinguals--phonemic and prosodic, and argues that because these two phonological subsystems are structured differently and have different signaling functions, each kind of interference must be treated independently with regard to its…

Crawford, James M. – International Journal of American Linguistics, 1973
Research accomplished in connection with the Southeastern Indian Language Project and supported by a grant to the University of Georgia from the National Science Foundation. (RS)

Tataru, Ana – Engl Lang Teaching, 1969
The role of allophonic differences in contributing to the non-native speaker's "foreign accent." (FWB)

Johnson, Elizabeth K. – Infancy, 2005
Retaining detailed representations of unstressed syllables is a logical prerequisite for infants' use of probabilistic phonotactics to segment iambic words from fluent speech. The head-turn preference study was used to investigate the nature of English- learners' representations of iambic word onsets. Fifty-four 10.5-month-olds were familiarized…

Kureta, Yoichi; Fushimi, Takao; Tatsumi, Itaru F. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2006
Speech production studies have shown that the phonological form of a word is made up of phonemic segments in stress-timed languages (e.g., Dutch) and of syllables in syllable timed languages (e.g., Chinese). To clarify the functional unit of mora-timed languages, the authors asked native Japanese speakers to perform an implicit priming task (A. S.…

Kashoki, Mubanga E. – 1968
The present study is a pilot phonemic analysis which attempts primarily to establish an inventory of phonemic contrasts in Bemba. Also referred to as Chibemba, the term Bemba is used to cover several regional variants of the language. (The variant examined in this study is known as "Central Bemba," spoken in the Kasama District and contiguous…

Contreras Jurado, Antonio – Yelmo, 1975
Considers the effects of the loss of the plural morpheme 's' in the Spanish dialect known as oriental Andalusian. The openness of the final vowels is now considered the plural marker but this seems to be only a transitory replacement for the missing plural. (Text is in Spanish.) (TL)

Poupart, Rene – Revue de Phonetique Appliquee, 1976
Discusses the disappearance of the opposition between two phonemes in modern spoken French, and cites examples from popular songs and sketches. (Text is in French.) (AM)
Descriptors: French, Phonemes, Phonology, Poetry

Lindfield, Kimberly C.; Wingfield, Arthur; Goodglass, Harold – Applied Psycholinguistics, 1999
Discusses a word-onset gating technique to investigate the role of prosody in word recognition. Subjects were asked to identify words based on onsets followed by information about full word prosody. Results showed that words were correctly recognized with significantly less segmental onset information when word prosody was available. (Author/VWL)

Lee, Borim; Guion, Susan G.; Harada, Tetsuo – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2006
The production of unstressed vowels in English by early and late Korean- and Japanese-English bilinguals was investigated. All groups were nativelike in having a lower fundamental frequency for unstressed as opposed to stressed vowels. Both Korean groups made less of an intensity difference between unstressed and stressed vowels than the native…

Zinkin, N. J.; And Others – Linguistics, 1975
Discusses Helmut Richter's work on prosody. Looks at the problems of spoken language perception as belonging not only to phonetics and acoustics but also to psychology. (Text is in German.) (TL)
Descriptors: Acoustic Phonetics, Intonation, Phonemes, Phonetics
Hutchinson, Sandra Pinkerton – 1974
The effects of syllable timing and syllable sequence type on vowel sandhi in Spanish are investigated in this paper. It is argued that structuralist and generative treatments of vowel sandhi, which are characterized by generalizations about vowel "shortening" and dropping and glide formation, are inadequate because they focus exclusively…

Allen, Margaret Reece – Linguistic Inquiry, 1975
Vowel mutation in Welsh is outlined. A proposal that two classes of compounds exist in Welsh is based on the occurrence of vowel mutation in words and in certain compounds. Evidence from stress patterns and from non-phonological aspects of the grammar support this. An alternative proposal is discussed and rejected. Available from the MIT Press, 28…

Jacobson, Marc R. – 1979
Phonological data of 30 Philippine languages are presented. The languages were selected as representative of 12 minor families within the Philippine group. The data is charted for easy comparison between language families and between individual languages. The research method consists of gathering data from journal articles and unpublished…
