Palatal gesture variability: speaker, stress and syllabic structure effects in Russian
Variabilité du geste palatal : effet du locuteur, de la structure syllabique et de l’accent sur différents types de consonnes en russe
Résumé
Linguists have been studying palatal feature for a long time. Nevertheless, the lack of experimental data in the literature is a barrier to classification of consonants involving this feature. Few studies examined the question of the tongue gesture control in the production of [+palatal] consonants. However, they show that the tongue control process in palatal articulation seems more complex than in other types of consonants. In Russian, most of the consonants have a palatalized counterpart, in this way Russian language can be a reliable source for investigating different aspects of the palatal feature and its phonetic realization(s). Based on data acquired with an electromagnetic articulograph, we propose to characterize the palatal gesture involved in the production of different types of prepalatal and palatalized consonants in Russian and to observe the variability of thisgesture by taking into account various factors such as speaker, stress and syllabic structure.
RESUME Les linguistes se sont régulièrement penchés sur la description du trait consonantique [+palatal] ; pourtant, le manque de données expérimentales constitue un obstacle au classement des consonnes concernées. Peu de travaux ont abordé la question du contrôle du geste lingual dans l'articulation palatale. Cependant, ils montrent que celui-ci semble bien plus complexe que dans d'autres consonnes. En russe, la plupart des consonnes possèdent une contrepartie palatalisée ce qui permet d'étudier les différences de réalisation du trait palatal au sein du même système. Nous proposons ici, à partir de données acquises avec un articulographe électromagnétique, de caractériser la variabilité du geste palatal impliqué dans la réalisation de différents types de consonnes palatalisées et pré-palatales du russe en fonction des facteurs locuteur, accent et structure syllabique.
