Generalization | Evidence | |
---|---|---|
Boundary Effects | 1) Trills at the boundary of the domain are longer than trills inside the domain. Domain-Initial trills are shorter than domain-final trills, while both intervocalic and Preconsonantal trills are nearly the same length. | Figure 3, Table 3 |
2) Domain-Initial trills have a higher chance of having a large number of contacts than any of the other positions. Domain-medial trills have a higher likelihood of approximance and less likelihood for full trilling than trills at the boundary. |
Figure 2 Table 2 |
|
Coarticulation Effects | 3) Vocalic contrasts can be detected from beginning to end of trills, except for initial part of domain-Initial trills, followed by the end of the final trill and the end of the preconsonantal trill. The latter is an interaction between boundary and coarticulation effects. |
Figures 7,8,9 Table 8,9 |
4) Trills contiguous to a back vowel are slighlty longer than trills near a front vowel. |
Figure 3 Table 3 |
|
Contrast Effects | 5) At all points in a trill, regardless of position in word, SA has an influence on the trill. |
Figures 4,5 Tables 5,6 |
6) The likelihood of approximant realization is higher in palatalized trills, while the likelihood of a high number of contacts is higher in non-palatalized trills |

|
7) Palatal vs. velar Secondary Articulation does not affect the length of the trill. | Figure 3, Table 3 | |
Syllable Effect | 8) Onset palatalized trills exhibit a rise in palatalization, whereas coda palatalized trills exhibit steady palatalization throughout | Figures 4 and 6 |
