Research Problem

Other things being equal, does vowel height alone determine vowel duration?

A well-known property of vowel duration is that it tends to be modulated by vowel height: higher vowels are usually shorter than lower vowels (Lieberman and Kubaska 1979). A commonly accepted hypothesis regarding the source of this trend is that vowel duration is in fact related to the duration of the gesture needed to produce the vowel (assuming a consonantal star...

Research Problem

Phonetology

In a wish to transcend the phonetics/phonology divide (Sóskuthy 2013; Ohala 1990; Ohala 2005), I refer to the set of disciplines that investigate the visual systems (signing) and sound systems (speech sounds) of the world’s languages with the term phonetology (from a combination of phonetics and phonology).Although this newly-coined term contains the Greek root pho...

Research Problem

Which factors determine the duration of vocalic segments?

The duration of vocalic segments is known to be affected by a variety of factors, from vowel category, to phonation of flanking consonants, to prosodic contexts.Research from a variety of disciplines focusses on how these factors affect vowel duration and how they interact among each other in their relationship with vowel duration.

Rationale / Hypothesis

Investigating the effect of spaces and language attitudes on competence in minoritised speech communities.

While it is known that language attitudes and spaces of language use are linked to language competence, it is not clear how the former two interact in their relationship with language competence, and particularly so in minoritised speech communities.
