What are the differences between palatal consonant and …
There is a fairly clear theoretical distinction between the IPA phones [ɲ, ʎ], which are canonically defined as "pure" palatal sounds, and [nʲ, lʲ], which indicate alveolar or dental primary articulation with secondary palatal articulation (the most common variant is the "alveolo-palatal" articulation [n̠ʲ, l̠ʲ], which Wikipedia says ...
phonology - Is there a distinctive feature that separates alveolo ...
palatal vs. alveolo-palatal is not a contrast in any language. Retroflex palatal (and retroflex non-palatal) are [supposedly] present in Polish in addition/contrast with alveolo-palatal. Typical examples would be: szisza [ʂʲiʂa] - both palatal and non-palatal retroflex in the same word. siny [ɕinɨ] - alveolo-palatal.

2020年10月13日 · The "officially" voiceless alveolar-palatine affricate does not exist in English. But I can clearly hear it in the sentence "Ouch that hurt" (when the computer reads this senten...
phonetics - How are the palatal approximant and palatalization ...
2017年6月26日 · Russians seem to feel (e.g. the answers and comments to this question or this question or this one) that there is a large difference between sounds produced via palatalization (via interaction with soft vowels or the soft sign ь) and sounds produced via iotation (via interaction with the letter й, the palatal approximant).
Do the qualities of a vowel determine its semivowel’s place of ...
2023年11月30日 · This is true by definition, although there is a terminological shift in some usages. The official IPA term for [i] is "close front unrounded vowel". Semivowels are non-syllabic "close" (high) vowels, and you can translate between "round" and "labial", "front" and "palatal" in shifting between vowel terminology and consonant terminology.
Is there a difference between /tʲ/ (palatalized t) and /kʲ ...
2023年1月11日 · Instead, since coronal, palatal and velar sounds are all articulated with somewhat similar areas of the tongue, "palatalization" of [t] or [k] tends to result in the sound being realized as a fully palatal stop, as a stop with some kind of intermediate place of articulation, or as some kind of affricate.
How many ways are there to produce alveolo-palatal fricatives?
2018年9月8日 · Addressing the point that "online all recordings I can find over alveolo-palatal fricatives sound relatively the same", there are two problems in auditorily distinguishing such sounds. One is a common problem that what you find online is unregulated, and in particular, Wikipedia entries, which anyone can write, can be just plain wrong.

2018年3月21日 · En posició final de mot, la consonant nasal palatal palatalitza la fricativa alveolar següent (-[ɲʃ] a anys, empenys, menystenir). El mateix s’esdevé, en major o menor grau segons els dialectes, en el cas de la consonant lateral palatal (-[ʎʃ] o -[ʎs̠] a alls, bulls, cabells).
Are alveolo-palatal consonants more likely to be followed by high ...
2021年11月30日 · It seems to me that high voles like i would more naturally follow alveolo-palatal consonants because the need to "spread the lips" (in the popular description of the latter) seem to more easily entice one to produce a high vowel thereafter. And the opposite seems to be the case for retroflex non-palatalized consonants: the need to move the tip ...
Is there a difference between /ɕ/ and /sʲ/?
The pure palatal segments [ɕ] and [ʑ] have a constant alveolo-palatal place of articulation. The palatalized alveolar segments [sʲ] and [zʲ] have alveolar articulation with a palatal release. The two core sounds (palatal versus alveolar) are very clearly distinguishable and several languages do have [ɕ]-[s] minimal pairs.
