초록
This paper discusses the articulatory characteristics of palatalized consonants in Scottish Gaelic (Gàidlig, henceforth SG), an endangered language spoken in Scotland. Palatalization is a notable lexicalized process in SG, which is considered as part of the complex consonant mutation processes in the language. With only a handful of instrumental, experimental studies on the language that exist, this paper is the first attempt to quantitatively examine the articulatory patterns of plain and palatalized consonants, and palatalized consonants from different morphological sources in SG using ultrasound imaging. The gestural patterns from 10 SG speakers show some degree of the universal `palatal' gesture, represented by a higher tongue tip or dorsum than otherwise expected. However, the articulatory distinction between plain and palatalizing conditions is not at all uniform across speakers and target segments. In addition, palatalized consonants from different morphological sources do not differ markedly. The findings from this paper add to the growing literature on individual variation in phonology, and point to the importance of language documentation research using modern instrumental and experimental techniques.
Abstract
This paper discusses the articulatory characteristics of palatalized consonants in Scottish Gaelic (Gàidlig, henceforth SG), an endangered language spoken in Scotland. Palatalization is a notable lexicalized process in SG, which is considered as part of the complex consonant mutation processes in the language. With only a handful of instrumental, experimental studies on the language that exist, this paper is the first attempt to quantitatively examine the articulatory patterns of plain and palatalized consonants, and palatalized consonants from different morphological sources in SG using ultrasound imaging. The gestural patterns from 10 SG speakers show some degree of the universal `palatal' gesture, represented by a higher tongue tip or dorsum than otherwise expected. However, the articulatory distinction between plain and palatalizing conditions is not at all uniform across speakers and target segments. In addition, palatalized consonants from different morphological sources do not differ markedly. The findings from this paper add to the growing literature on individual variation in phonology, and point to the importance of language documentation research using modern instrumental and experimental techniques.
