-
As defined by Steriade (1991), an aperture node characterized by a total
absence of oral airflow as in oral and nasal stops. As defined by C & H,
1995, a root node characterized as [-continuant,
-approximant]. See also Af,
Amax, aperture node
.
-
As defined by Steriade (1991), an aperture node characterized by a degree of
oral aperture sufficient to produce a turbulent airflow as in fricatives and
the second phase of affricates. As defined by C & H, 1995, a root node
characterized as [+continuant,
-sonorant]. See also A0,
Amax, aperture node
.
-
As defined by Steriade (1991), an aperture node characterized by a degree of
oral aperture insufficient to produce a turbulent airflow as in oral sonorants
and the release stage of affricates. As defined by C
& H, 1995, a root node characterized as [+continuant,
+sonorant]. See also A0,
Af, aperture node
.
-
-
d
-
An analysis of contour segments dependent on the degree of oral airflow. See
also A0, Af,
Amax
.
-
-
Parts of the vocal tract that produce a constriction of the airflow. This
includes the lips, tongue front, tongue body, tongue root, soft palate and
larynx.
-
Feature theory based on the idea that the articulators are given nodes in
phonological representations on different tiers. (Clements and Hume, 1995)
-
A feature that depends on a specific articulator
for its execution. In feature geometry, the feature is given a node below that
articulator node. (Clements and Hume, 1995)
-
A feature that is not restricted to a particular articulator. These features
indicate the degree of stricture of a sound. Also called stricture features.
-
-
A phonological rule where one segment
takes on the properties of a neighboring segment, such as the nasality of [g]
onto [n] in "kingdom." This is called
partial assimilation because only the nasality is assimilated. If this
were total assimilation, the result would be [kiggdom]. In generative
phonology, assimilation is defined as the copying of features, whereas in
feature geometry, assimilation is the
spreading or association of features (as in
tone spreading). Two types of assimilation are
feature filling and feature
changing. See also dissimilation,
partial assimilation,
total assimilation
