초록
Payne (2005) argues that fake geminates are longer than true geminates and Ridouane (2007) shows that their preceding vowel duration is also significantly longer. These effects are likely due to the boundary that distinguishes fake from true geminates. If this is correct, boundary strength is expected to affect fake geminates with different morpheme boundaries. In Experiment 1, we investigated this possibility by comparing the absolute and consonant-to-vowel durations of assimilated (Level 1) and concatenated (Level 2) word-internal and cross-word boundary fake geminates in English (e.g., immoral vs. unnamed vs. fun name). The results showed that both types of concatenated fake geminates were shorter than assimilated fake geminates in relative terms. A follow up experiment, comparing geminates in compound words to those emerging across words showed no differences in relative duration between the two. These results suggest that boundary strength may be less important than boundary decomposability in production. Overall, we argue that boundary decomposability impacts the phonetic implementation of geminates and likely does so whether these are true or fake.
Abstract
Payne (2005) argues that fake geminates are longer than true geminates and Ridouane (2007) shows that their preceding vowel duration is also significantly longer. These effects are likely due to the boundary that distinguishes fake from true geminates. If this is correct, boundary strength is expected to affect fake geminates with different morpheme boundaries. In Experiment 1, we investigated this possibility by comparing the absolute and consonant-to-vowel durations of assimilated (Level 1) and concatenated (Level 2) word-internal and cross-word boundary fake geminates in English (e.g., immoral vs. unnamed vs. fun name). The results showed that both types of concatenated fake geminates were shorter than assimilated fake geminates in relative terms. A follow up experiment, comparing geminates in compound words to those emerging across words showed no differences in relative duration between the two. These results suggest that boundary strength may be less important than boundary decomposability in production. Overall, we argue that boundary decomposability impacts the phonetic implementation of geminates and likely does so whether these are true or fake.
