An acoustic & articulatory analysis of consonant sequences across word boundaries in Tripolitanian Libyan Arabic
The main goal of this thesis is to provide a description of the articulatory and temporal interaction between stops spanning the word boundary in the four sequence types VC#CV, VC#CCV, VCC#CV, and VCC#CCV in Tripolitanian Libyan Arabic. A general aim of the study is to contribute to the Phonetic description of Libyan Arabic and to provide a better understanding of speech production and the temporal organisation of articulatory gestures. One of the principal objectives of this study is to investigate what effect an increase in the number of stops in a sequence will have on the timing of stop gestures. Furthermore, the study aims to identify the different patterns of gestural coordination and the types of inter-consonantal intervals occurring between stops in the four sequence types. Another aim of the study is to investigate the nature of the resulting inter-consonantal intervals occurring between these stops in order to understand the patterns of epenthesis. Factors affecting gestural coordination such as the order of place of articulation of stops and speech rate are also an objective of this study. Voice assimilation across the word boundary is also investigated in addition to the influence of inter-consonantal
