• W343325802 abstract "UCLA Working Papers in Phonetics, No. 104, 61-81 Glottal-Deletion and Compensatory Lengthening In Farsi Shabnam Shademan Shademan@ucla.edu Abstract This study tested whether Farsi exhibits vowel compensatory lengthening. It has been suggested that, in Farsi, compensatory lengthening is triggered by the deletion of glottal consonants in coda position in informal speech (Darzi 1991). As a result, minimal pairs such as [tar] and [tarh] should contrast only with respect to vowel length. A corpus of 90 words of the form CVC, CVCG, CVGC, and CVCC (where V=a vowel and G=a glottal consonant) was recorded, and durations of vowels in different contexts were measured and compared. The results showed that the duration of lax vowels in CVC words and in CVCG/CVGC were significantly different, with the exception of /e/. /e/ might behave differently because it is also the epenthetic vowel most commonly used in loanword adaptation. One surprising result was that, in general, the vowels in CVCC configuration were longer than CVC configuration. 1. Introduction This study aims at determining whether glottal deletion in Farsi results in compemnsatory lengthening of the preceding vowel. Farsi is a six-vowel system with three lax vowels, /a, e, o/, and three tense vowels,/ae, i, u/. Both traditional grammarians and modern linguists suggest that Farsi tense vowels are longer than lax vowels, and that there are no vowels that contrast only in length (Comrie 1987, Samareh 1977). However, it has also been suggested that Farsi exhibits compensatory lengthening, which is triggered by the deletion of glottal consonants in coda position in informal speech (Darzi 1991). Complex codas are common in Farsi, including clusters with glottal consonants (e.g., /mehr/ ‘affection,’ /madh/ ‘praise’). When these glottals delete, the other member of the cluster remains. This means there could be surface minimal pairs, such as /tae/ [tae] ‘wet’ and /taeh/ [tae] ‘design,’ that would contrast only with respect to vowel length. The current study proceeded in the following way. First, it compared the duration of tense and lax vowels in order to determine whether all tokens (containing either lax or tense vowel) could be analyzed together. This step was accomplished by generating the following hypothesis: H1– “tense and lax vowels have the same duration.” This hypothesis was not falsified (discussed in section 3.1); therefore, all tokens were analyzed together. Second, it examined the effect of coda clusters on the immediately preceding vowels to determine whether the increase in the number of consonants in the coda resulted in the shortening of" @default.
