An Ultrasound Study of the Role of Larynx Height and Tongue Movement in the Production of Javanese Registers (Stiff-Slack Stops)
Full text linkJavanese has lost the Malayo-Polynesian voicing contrast in obstruents and replaced it with a contrast between a high and a low register that are differentiated by a bundle of phonetic properties such as VOT, f0, F1 and voice quality after the closure release. Although the acoustic properties of this register contrast are well understood, there is still some debate about its articulatory realization. In this paper, we conducted laryngeal and lingual ultrasound studies to investigate the production of Javanese registers. Results suggest that the low register is produced with a lowering of the larynx, but there is little evidence of consistent differences in tongue root or tongue body position between registers

Tonal Geography of the Southern Thai Dialects
No full textThis study aims to describe the tonal differences of Southern Thai as spoken in the 21st century across the entire region of Southern Thailand and to show their geographical distribution on maps. The study adopts a dialectological approach (Chambers and Trudgill 1998), focusing on how tones vary by geographical area. Tonal data were collected from 998 native Southern Thai speakers across Southern Thailand. Site selection was based on a geometric grid method using QGIS and Google Earth Pro software. A set of 80 monosyllabic words, adapted from Gedney’s (1972) checklist, was used to elicit tonal data. Tonal data were analyzed through auditory judgment, followed by acoustic verification and refinement using Praat software. The results revealed that tone patterns and characteristics varied by geographical area. Southern Thai can be divided into nine regional dialects based on the patterns of tone splits and mergers, and each of the nine dialects can be further divided into sub-dialects according to the phonetic characteristics of the tones. This study both confirms and extends previous findings: it supports earlier observations regarding the merger of tones A1 and B1 as a distinguishing feature of Southern Thai, while also revealing a more complex picture of tonal diversity and distribution than previously documented

Full text linkEffect of chronic heat stress in roughskin sculpin (<em>Trachidermus fasciatus</em>)
Full text linkThe roughskin sculpin (Trachidermus fasciatus) belongs to the family Cottidae and is a small carnivorous catadromous fish distributed along the coasts of China, Korea, and Japan. The effects of heat stress on roughskin sculpin have yet to be systematically performed. This study aimed to explore the effects of chronic heat stress on the roughskin sculpin. The survival rate, gill histopathological changes, and heat stress protein gene expression patterns of roughskin sculpin were analyzed after different temperature stresses of 19 ℃, 22 ℃, 25 ℃, 28 ℃, and 31 ℃ for 0, 3, 6, 9, and 12 days. The results revealed that roughskin sculpin could not survive at 33 ℃. Chronic heat stress can cause severe damage to gill tissue, reducing the gills' respiratory efficiency. Moreover, the expressions of hspb1, hspb7, and hspb11 changed significantly after heat stress. In the 31 ℃ treatment group, as stress time increased, hspb1, hspb7, and hspb11 expression initially increased and then decreased. This study’s results provide a reference for the study of heat stress physiology of roughskin sculpin as well as a new idea and method for evaluating and breeding heat stress traits of roughskin sculpin
