Turbulent Sounds: An Interdisciplinary Guide (Interface Explorations [Ie])

No sound class requires so much basic knowledge of phonology, acoustics, aerodynamics, and speech production as obstruents (turbulent sounds) do. This book is intended to bridge a gap by introducing the reader to the world of obstruents from a multidisciplinary perspective. It starts with a review of typological processes, continues with various contributions to the phonetics-phonology interface, explains the realization of specific turbulent sounds in endangered languages, and finishes with surveys of obstruents from a sociophonetic, physical and pathological perspective. 1. An overview of the phonology of obstruents / T.A. Hall and Marzena Żygis 2. Turbulence and Phonology / John L. Ohala and Maria-Josep Solé 3.

Preaspiration as a correlate of word-final voice in Scottish English fricatives / Olga B. Gordeeva and James M. Scobbie 6. Phonetic characteristics of ejectives: samples from Caucasian languages / Sven Grawunder, Adrian Simpson, Madzhid Khalilov 7. Tongue body and tongue root shape differences in Nuu clicks correlate with phonotactic patterns / Amanda L. Miller 8. Do differences in male versus female /s/ reflect biological or sociophonetic factors? / Susanne Fuchs and Martine Toda 9. Producing turbulent speech sounds in the context of cleft palate / Fiona E. Gibbon and Alice Lee 10. Formant cavity affiliation in sibilant fricatives / Martine Toda, Shinji Maeda and Kiyoshi Honda.
