Although it is widely acknowledged that different speech processes may interact with each other, the way that nasalization affects phonation remains poorly understood. This paper explores the relationship between nasalization and phonation, by analyzing the phonetic cues of the tense/lax… read more

語言接觸中弱勢語言對強勢語言的影響 [The influence of a subordinate language on a dominant language]: 以「白普」鼻音韻尾脫落為例 [A case study of nasal coda loss in Bai Pu] Language and Linguistics: Online-First Articles | Article
中國雲南大理白語-普通話雙語社區通行的普通話（白普）受到白語干擾，出現鼻音韻尾脫落的特徵，這是弱勢語言（白語）影響強勢語言（普通話）的一種接觸誘發的語言變化。本文采用橫斷面研究設計，對白普鼻音韻尾的產出變異進行考察。數據分析結果顯示，聲調對鼻音韻尾的產出有顯著影響；發音人的語言優勢是影響白普鼻音韻尾脫落的一個重要指標。元音舌位不直接影響鼻音韻尾的產出，但不同聲調對於鼻音韻尾是否脫落的影響卻因元音舌位而出現顯著不同；當音節元音為高舌位元音時，語言優勢對於正確發出鼻音韻尾的作用也更大。此外，聲調與語言優勢的交互作用顯著。這些結果展示了語言因素和社會因素在共同塑造白普鼻音韻尾脫落的相互作用。 read more
