Topic: Danish phonology


  
  Danish language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Danish also holds official status and is a mandatory subject in school in the former Danish colonies of Greenland and the Faroe Islands, that now enjoy limited autonomy.
In Danish the so-called grave accent or accent 2 is pronounced as a temporary lowering of the intensity and frequency of the vocal cords called stød, which to non-natives may remind of a sort of hiccup.
Danish is the official language of Denmark, one of two official languages of Greenland (the other is Greenlandic), and one of two official languages of the Faeroes (the other is Faeroese).

Danish is one of the Scandinavian languages, a sub-group of the Germanic group of the Indo-European language family.
A common Danish phrase told to foreigners is rødgrød med fløde ("red berry pudding with cream"), a Danish speciality and a line very difficult for foreigners to say due to the three ø sounds (with two different pronunciations), the initial throaty r, the rough gr sound and the soft d sounds.
Danish is written using the Roman alphabet, with three additional letters: Æ / æ, Ø / ø, and Å / å, which come at the end of the Danish alphabet, in that order.

Danish dialect geography supports this observation and further indicates that tonal accent is older and that stød has emerged later (Kroman, 1947; Ringgaard, 1983; Fischer-Jørgensen, 1989).
Danish stød can be realized on a secondary stress; indeed, two instances of stød can occur in a single word.
In the discussion of the transition from a tone accent system of the Swedish type to stød of the Danish type, it is important to distinguish between, on the one hand, the phonetic development and related changes in phonological representation, and on the other hand, the transition from distinctive accent to allophonic variation.

My primary area of research is historical and comparative phonology of the Germanic languages.
I have treated the Germanic consonant shift, the High German shift, and the shifts in Danish and Icelandic in a comparative light.
All three of the younger shifts in German, Danish, and Icelandic are to a certain extent repetitions of the first shift in Germanic and all employ the same phonological mechanism.

 Peter Hallaråker: The Nynorsk language - yesterday, today and tomorrow   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
The Danish written language was not standardized in the sixteenth century, but a Danish written norm was gradually developed based on the speech of the higher social groups in the City of Copenhagen.
This was particularly the case in the Norwegian countryside and among the lower classes in the cities, whereas the speech of the upper classes in the cities was gradually influenced by Danish and partly led to a Norwegian pronunciation of written Danish.
Munch was of the opinion that the use of literary Danish had been a cultural advantage for a small and isolated country like Norway, and he disagreed that there was such a strong psychological bond between nationality and language.

The eastern branch is heavily influenced by especially Low German and consists of Danish, Norwegian and Swedish along with their various dialects and varieties.
Due to the long dominance of Danish in Norway, Bokmål/Riksmål (Standard Norwegian), the first written standard language in Norway and now the dominating official language, is considered Continental.
Beside the two official written norms of Norwegian, there exists two established unofficial norms: Riksmål, similar to, but more conservative (closer to Danish) than, Bokmål, which is used in different extent by a large number of people, especially in the cities; High-Norwegian (Høgnorsk), rather similar to Nynorsk, used by a very little minority.

 North Germanic languages - Wikipedia
The eastern branch is heavily influenced by especially Low German and consists of Danish and Swedish along with their various dialects and varieties.
There is another way of classifying the languages that focuses more on mutual intelligibility than historical development that classifies Norwegian with Danish and Swedish as Continental Scandinavian and Faroese and Icelandic as Insular Scandinavian.
The creation of Nynorsk out of western Norwegian dialects after Norway became independent of Denmark in 1814 was an attempt to make the linguistic divisions match the political ones.

 Milena Slavcheva: Review of Cann, Ronnie, Claire Grover and Philip Miller, ed. (2000) Grammatical Interfaces in HPSG
The standard HPSG approach to phonology is elaborated by modifying the value of the phonology feature in the description of signs which now can be of two types: word-forms and metrical trees.
Keeping the distinction between phonology and syntax intact, minimal interfaces are posited for capturing the bi-directional interdependencies between the two strata of grammatical representation.
The definition of the interface from C-structure to P-structure is connected with the phenomenon of metrical boost, an effect of the syntactic structure on the pitch of the modifying phrase, where the information about the branching of the syntactic tree is percolated to the level of prosody.

This language was, although I didn't realise it at the time, a Low German language from the West Germanic branch, not Danish at all, but it wasn't until later that I noticed a lot of similarities with Danish.
Whilst the orthography and the phonology are very Danish, the syntax and word origins are German.

The body of my research work is within Danish prosody and has led to a fairly robust model of default intonation.
The model is derived from acoustic analyses of a considerable amount of speech material from a fair number of speakers, and some perceptual experiments.
It is also a hypothesis about speakers' internal representation, about the nature of the components and how they interact to turn a string of semantically coherent sentences into a series of prosodically coherent utterances.

"Structural linguistics" here means mostly phonology, which was the first and most important success for the approach, and the model for structuralism generally, with Lévi-Strauss being the most important figure in "structuralism generally".
The structuralist conception of phonology (based, since Jacobson, on binary oppositions) subsequently gave way to Chomsky and Halle's generative approach (not at all the same thing as generative grammar) which dominated phonological thinking for decades, even among those who disagreed with the approach.
In spoken Danish there is a phenomenon called the "stød", which is a glottal stop [...] We don't show the "stød" in our transcriptions, as it is not essential to understanding and being understood.

Two of them are described in two chapters and varieties, sharing almost everything but (a few features in phonology and) intonation, i.e.
As intonation research is still in its toddler years, their project was not a typological relevant overview of the world's intonation systems, but rather a first step towards comparison of intonation systems.
The striking observation of the article is the syllable structure in Danish, which puts an intervocalic consonant to the preceding rather than to the following syllable, at least as far as the intonation movement is concerned.
