Articulatory Characteristics of Secondary Palatalization in Romanian Fricatives
2024
Overview
The production of fricatives involves the complex interaction of articulatory constraints resulting from the formation of the appropriate oral constriction, the control of airflow through the constriction so as to achieve frication and, in the case of voiced fricatives, the maintenance of glottal oscillation by attending to transglottal pressure. To better understand this mechanism in a relatively understudied language, we explore the articulatory characteristics of five pairs of plain and palatalized Romanian fricatives produced by 10 native speakers using ultrasound imaging. Our analysis includes an assessment of the robustness of the plain-palatalized contrast at different places of articulation, a comparison of secondary palatalization with other relevant word-final [Ci] structures, and the identification of individual variation patterns. Since our study is the first to document the articulatory properties of secondary palatalization in Romanian, our findings are of descriptive interest.
