@article{Vies_2021, title={Prosodisk demarkering og domæneinitial styrkelse i dansk }, volume={6}, url={https://tidsskrift.dk/lwo/article/view/127938}, abstractNote={<p><em>In this study we investigate prosodically conditioned strengthening of the Danish [s] by analyzing its spectral composition and duration across different phonological domains in eighteen different positions. We do so by performing acoustic analyses of [s] in a series of utterances with the same prosodic skeleton, varying /s/’ position.</em></p> <p><em>Three prosodic domains and three positions were considered: Utterance, prosodic phrase and stress group along with the initial, medial and final positions. Spectral peak, center of gravity, variance, slope and duration of each segment were measured.</em></p> <p><em>We found no sign of cumulative effects of the height of the prosodic domain, but we did find an effect of stress: [s] exhibits significantly higher values regarding all the analyzed spectral properties in the initial position compared with the final position. In regard to the duration, we also found a final lengthening on the two higher domains, reversing the pattern of the stress group.</em></p> <p><em>In addition to these findings, our results indicate that the conjunction og ‘and’ in Danish phonologically procliticizes to the following prosodic word, causing final lengthening of the preceding segment.</em></p>}, number={1}, journal={Journal of Language Works - Sprogvidenskabeligt Studentertidsskrift}, author={Vies, Christophe Zerakitsky}, year={2021}, month={Jul.}, pages={5–21} }
