Topic: Prenasalized stop


  
  Stop consonant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A stop, plosive, or occlusive is a consonant sound produced by stopping the airflow in the vocal tract.
The term plosive is reserved for oral (non-nasal) stops: that is, stops with a release burst.
Nasal stops are acoustically sonorants, as they have a non-turbulent airflow and are nearly always voiced, but they are articulatorily obstruents, as there is complete blockage of the oral cavity.

Note that the terms prenasalization and postnasalization are normally only used in languages where these sounds are not analyzed into sequences of plosive and nasal stop.
In languages where stops are only distinguished by length, the long stops may last up to three times as long as the short stops.
Here are some of the oral stops (plosives) and their symbols in the IPA.) See also the nasal stops.

A stop, plosive or occlusive is a consonant (consonant: A speech sound that is not a vowel) sound produced by stopping the airflow in the vocal tract.
In affricate (affricate: A composite speech sound consisting of a stop and a fricative articulated at the same point (as `ch' in `chair' and `j' in `joy')) stops, the release simultaneously is a fricative (fricative: A continuant consonant produced by breath moving against a narrowing of the vocal tract).

 Stop consonant - Indopedia, the Indological knowledgebase
Nasal stops are pronounced with a lowered velum, allowing the air to escape through the nose during the production of the stop; oral stops with a raised velum that shuts the nasal cavity.
A prenasalized stop begins with a lowered velum that raises during the second phase of the stop articulation.
A postnasalized stop begins with a raised velum that lowers during the second phase of the stop articulation.

 Affricate consonant - Open Encyclopedia
Affricate consonants begin like stops (most often an alveolar, such as [t] or [d]), but release as a fricative such as [s] or [z] (or, in a couple of languages, into a fricative trill) rather than directly into the following vowel.
The difference is that in the stop-fricative sequence, the stop has a release of its own before the fricative starts, but in the affricate, the fricative element is the release.
In English, [ts] and [dz] (as in nuts and nods) are considered to be sequences of a stop phoneme and a fricative phoneme even though they are phonetically affricates, because they may have a morpheme boundary in them (e.g.

There are a series of stops in Korean which are commonly misidentified as ejectives but which are produced using "stiff voice", meaning there is increased contraction of the glottis than for normal production of voiceless stops.

 Afaka script - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Final consonants (the nasal [n]) are not written, but long vowels are, by adding a vowel letter.
Prenasalized and voiced consonants are written the same, and syllables with the vowels [u] and [o] are seldom distinguished (they are in the cases of [o]/[u], [po]/[pu], and [to]/[tu], but not after the consonants [b, d, dy, f, g, l, m, n, s]).
Thus the Afaka form of Ndyuka could be read instead as Joka.

Sometimes, the stop is released gradually, and the sound is an affricate.
Fricatives, plosives, nasals, and prenasals are further distinguished by position of articulation, of which Shwah recognizes four: front consonants at the lips (labial or bilabial), central consonants at the teeth (dental or alveolar), back consonants at the palate (palatal or velar), and deep consonants at the glottis (glottal).
When the null vowel follows a prenasal, the prenasal is pronounced with the aspirated form of the plosive.

 STOP CONSONANT FACTS AND INFORMATION
However, colloquial Samoan lacks the dentals t and n, and the northern Iroquoian languages lack the labials p and m.
Aspirated stops have a voice onset time greater than zero, so that there is a period of voiceless airflow (a phonetic) before the onset of the vowel.

 This paper is an investigation of why languages develop consonant mutations
With either voiceless stops or voiced fricatives, the outputs of the /N-/ prefixation are identical; the prefixal nasal is fused with the root-initial consonants, emerging as prenasalized voiced stops.
Unlike affixation to roots with voiceless stops or voiced fricatives, the prefixation of /N-/ to roots with initial voiceless fricatives does not yield a prenasalized voiced stop.
In order for a voiceless stop to become a voiced stop, it must violate Ident (voi), while a fricative must incur a violation of Ident (cont) to emerge as a stop.

Something similar is found with the labialized alveolar stops in several Northwest and Northeast Caucasian languages such as Abkhaz and Lak.
Although the double stop articulation may be more common, they are generally considered to be essentially labialized alveolars because the labial contact is light, and moreover the contact is between the inner surfaces of the lips, which are protruded as they are for [w].
This is quite different from the normal contact for [p] in these languages.

Walsh Dickey carried out a number of analyses of the airflow data, which included oral stops, nasal stops, prenasalized stops, and an unusual sound, previously described as 'nasal plosion' or a 'post-nasalized stop'.
The timing and airflow patterns observed in prenasalized stops gave empirical support to the claim that these are indeed single segments and not consonant clusters.

There's a little glotallization or breathiness moving into this stop, I'm sure because there's a major prosodic boundary following this word (I mean, this word is at the right edge of a fairly major prosodic constituent).

At the Linguistic Institute last summer, Donca Steriade, during a talk at the Phonology Workshop, made the claim that a word in an African language (don't remember which) had an (intervocalic) prenasalized stop.
An audience member questioned her claim, suggesting that it might be a sequence of nasal stop + oral stop.

At which point, the Zulu speaker noted, equally spontaneously, that the next example, a (Swahili) prenasalized stop ([ndizi] `banana'), was NOT a sequence of two segments, at least in Zulu (despite the biliteral orthography!).

apo: first, the [-voice] [-nasal] stop /p/ in the verb corresponds to a prenasalized stop which is [+voice] [+nasal] in the affix; second, the affix lacks the initial vowel /a/ of the verb, reducing it to one syllable; and third, the affix, unlike the verb, is incapable of receiving primary stress.
The immediately preceding vowel is nasalized, either as an underlying feature or through the conditioning of a preceding nasal consonant, and this feature spreads to the unvoiced stop to its immediate right.
In his account, prenasalized stops like /mb/ were originally voiceless stops preceding a nasalized vowel.

When prenasalized consonants occur intervocalically, the previous vowel becomes nasalized, and the prenasalized stop becomes a regular, voiceless stop.
Second, /l/ becomes [w] when it occurs before a prenasalized consonant (and also has a tendency to undergo a similar change before other nasal consonants).
Additionally, when an /s/ follows a coda nasal (even if the segment itself isn't there), an epenthetic stop is inserted in between the nasal and the fricative.

Featural contrasts are thus preserved (voicing and nasalization parsed in the case of the proto-nasal, voicing and lowered frication intensity in the fricatives) while effects of fortition are also displayed (obstruency in the prenasalized stop, voicelessness in the fricatives).
The development of a contour segment seems to fulfill the same function in both cases, although the consonant sets and their featural distinctions differ, as well as the phonetic expression of fortition.
