Electropalatographic Parameter Analysis of Single Consonant of Xiahe Tibetan Dialects

Article Preview

Abstract:

Targeting at Xiahe Tibetan dialects and with 16 single consonants followed by vowel /a/ as the recording texts, the article analyzes the electropalatographic parameters such as AC, PC, VC, Ant, Pos, CA, CP, CC. The findings are as follows: 1. Plosives show more tongue-palate contact in front part of palate, with strong anteriority and centered tendency: 2. Fricatives show less contact than affricates of the same speech organ; 3. Lateral alveolar consonants have more tongue-palate contact, with strong anteriority and centrality, and weak posterity. 4. Nasals have bigger values in terms of all parameters. 5. The trill has more tongue-palate contact, with stronger posterity and centrality.
