The phonetic status of Croatian affricates /ʧ/ and /ʨ/ is uncertain. Traditionally, affricate /ʧ/ is classified as postalveolar and /ʨ/ as palatal, but there is no physiological data to support this classification. Several studies show that postalveolar and palatal affricates are being neutralised in modern Standard Croatian, but the evidence of the neutralisation process is limited. Motivated by the possible existence of a sound change and by the relative lack of articulatory data, our aim was…

In Classical Standard Croatian affricates /ʧ/ and /ʤ/ are traditionally considered postalveolar, while /ʨ/ and /ʥ/ are described as palatal. However, researchers claim that a new sociophonetic norm…

Lingual kinematics and coarticulation for alveolopalatal and velar consonants in Catalan.

The lingual gesture for alveolopalatals and, less so, that for velars may exert more prominent spatial and temporal effects on V2 than on V1 which is in agreement with the salience of the C-to-V carryover component associated with these consonants according to previous coarticulation studies.

Using ultrasound tongue imaging to identify covert contrasts in children’s speech

Some of the challenges of ultrasound data collection from children, and analysing these data, as well as possible ways to address those challenges are described, and there are examples from typical and disordered productions featuring covert contrasts.
