Introduction: Sociophonetic perspectives on language variation
No full textPhonotactics deals with constraints shaping the form of speech. Constraints may either be universal or language-specific; they may be grounded on properties of the articulatory content or on auditory salience. By organizing the form of speech and enhancing perception, phonotactic constraints simplify language acquisition and storage. Therefore they play a fundamental role in cognition, both in children's acquisition and adult processing. This volume brings together some of the most relevant European projects currently dealing with phonotactics from an empirical perspective. Some of the papers deal in particular with morphonotactics, i.e. the area of intersection between phonotactics and morphotactics. In those contributions, evidence is provided supporting the hypothesis that a given sound sequence is processed differently when it occurs across a morpheme boundary, compared with the morpheme internal position. This volume is of particular importance for functionalist and naturalist approaches to phonological complexity. Universal preferences of sound organization and language-specific constraints on phoneme and morpheme concatenation are investigated in English, German, Dutch, Italian and Polish. © 2014 Elsevier Ltd
Towards a sociophonetic explanation of progressive and regressive assimilation in NC clusters
No full textDifferent patterns of place and manner assimilation in nasal+stop clusters in terms of different timing relationships between segments are investigated. The existence of strict internal balance conditions within the cluster is hypothesized and evaluated with respect to Italo-Romance dialectological data. The role of speech rate variation is also analyzed. Drawing together laboratory research and geolinguistic analysis of nasal allophones distribution, the present study aims at shedding light on the determinants of anticipatory and perseverative assimilation processes in homorganic nasal+stop clusters
Tuscan between standard and vernacular: a sociophonetic perspective
No full textIn most parts of Tuscany there is a particular configuration of the linguistic repertoire and the traditional opposition between standard language vs. dialects is lacking, being the Florentine dialect at the origin of the Italian language. Code-switching is totally absent from the linguistic production of Tuscan speakers, whose speech is highly mixed up, with occurrences of several dialectal features also in formal contexts. The paper explores the relationship between standard and vernacular in Tuscany and may be considered also as a state-of-the art both on the production and the perception side, offering an update picture of the classical studies written by Luciano Giannelli in the seventies and in the eighties. In the first part, a picture of the most relevant variables occurring at the phonetic level is presented, with a particular attention to the consonantal weakening (the so-called “Gorgia Toscana”), the s-affrication, the stressed vowel systems, the raddoppiamento sintattico. Some acoustic data are discussed in order to find out the main loci of variation and the dialectal features showing a diffusion process inside the region, especially among young speakers. In the second part, some perceptual data elicited by means of the verbal-guise technique are presented, in order to evaluate how the Florentine pronunciation is perceived. Although at the supra-regional level the prestige of Florentine pronunciation is declining, it still endures inside the region; on the other hand, other sub-regional pronunciations enjoy some sort of covert prestige which may be partly responsible for the spreading of some local phonetic features
