Topic: Affricate



  
 The Affricates
These phoneme sequences could be considered affricates; in English, however, they occur only in syllable-final position and are thus considered as allophones of a plosive plus a fricative.
The affricates are the only example of a stop plus fricative combination which can occur in syllable-initial position in English.
See Figures 1 and 2 for examples of affricates.

Two frequent combinations are the affricates tc [tS] and dj [dZ], which represent one sound (phoneme) each in English but are considered a combination of two phonemes in Lojban.

 Acoustic analysis of singleton and geminate affricates in Italian
In Table IV, it is possible to see that error percentages for affricates are worse compared to those obtained for other classes of consonants.
For affricates, it was found that the average difference between singles and geminates in terms of V1d is 38 ms (»-25% for geminates), in C1d is 51 ms (»+62%for geminates), in C2d is 27 ms (»+28% for geminates) while considering the whole consonant Cd=C1d+C2d the difference is 78ms (»+44% for geminates).
The analyzed words in the present study were therefore 3 for each affricate consonant (which are [ʧ, ʤ, ʦ, ʣ] and their geminate version) and 6 for each speaker in three repetitions, leading to a total of 3x4x2x6x3=432 utterances (216 singletons and 216 geminates).

Affricate: A consonant sound produced with a complete closure between two articulators and with velic closure preventing air escaping via the nasal cavity.
In many languages one (or more) syllables in a word are produced louder and longer than others.
An example from English: the word ten which is /ten/ in most environments may become /tem/ if the following word begins with a bilabial consonant, as for example in the phrase ten books, which may be pronounced /tem bUks/.

 Speech Group Achievements 2001
For stops, the overall discriminant analysis classification score is 75% correct classification for all vowel types and all speakers; for nasals, the overall correct classification score is 57%; and for fricatives and affricates, the correct classification is 85%.
With 12 cues, the overall classification score between stops and fricative or affricate consonant is close to 100%.
In addition, the aspirated consonant /h/ is compared with fricatives and affricates in order to assess the capability of differentiating frication and aspiration.

 GroMye2000.html
For example, at the end of a word followed immediately by another word (i.e., in the word-final, nonprepausal position) only 36% of the occurrences of /t/ in their data (N=363) were complete, consisting of both a closure and a burst.
In fact, when the stop consonant /t/ arrives in the working memory, at least five list chunks that are themselves words -- ATE, RAY, GRAY, RATE, and GREAT -- can be assumed to be in active competition to establish a resonance with the phonemic codes in working memory.
As items become rapidly activated by their partially compressed auditory codes, they are stored in a working memory that preserves them on a slower time scale, even as they activate list chunks.

 Syllable structure
An example of the affricate /ts/ is above in the word /si.tsi.ka/ for ‘another’ and an example of the affricate /ks/ is in the word /a.wak.ksis/ for ‘chewing gum’.
Most languages consider /ts/ as common affricate but similar findings for /ks/ have not been found across languages.
Most all consonants found in the Blackfoot language (please refer to the section on Blackfoot sounds) can occupy the onset position except for a few, which are /h/, /w/, and /y/.

 LINGUIST List 6.490: German Affricates
We must assume an affricate where either the stop or the fricative is not otherwise found in the language.
While phonemic affricates make good sense in many instances in many languages, there seems to be no reason to worry about whether there are phonetic affricates in *any* language -- even Spanish, where [s^] occurs only after [t].
Thus Spanish [ts^] must be analyzed as a unit affricate phoneme /c^/, since there is no [s^] otherwise in Castillian or American pronunciation.

 Ņaranis Grammar
The original consonant that should be used when the language is written is easy to determine.
Ņaranis uses what is known as a triconsonantal root system, in which three core consonants can be pulled out of nearly every word in the language.
Ideally, each rìnu'ah would have exactly one conjugation pattern that could be applied to any root.

 Speech perception in rats: Use of duration and rise time cues in labeling of affricate/fricative sounds.
The nonspeech continua were chosen so that if transfer occurred, it would indicate whether the animals had learned to use rise time or duration cues to differentiate affricates from fricatives.
Transfer (without retraining) to analogous nonspeech continua was also tested.
The data from 9 of 10 rats indicated that rats can discriminate between these cues and do so in a similar manner to human subjects.

 Describing consonants
An affricate is a single sound composed of a stop portion and a fricative portion.
In a fricative consonant, the articulators involved in the constriction approach get close enough to each other to create a turbluent airstream.
Pay attention to what you are doing with your tongue when you say the first consonant of [lif] leaf.

 HLW: Word Forms: Units (Printer-Friendly)
Spanish and Japanese also have stops and affricates at four different positions, and three of these are roughly the same as for English, but alveolar is replaced by dental place of articulation, that is, with the tongue tip against the upper teeth rather than against the alveolar ridge.
The voiceless postalveolar affricate is the first and last consonant in the word church; it is symbolized by /c/ in this book, so the pronunciation of church is written /c@rc/.
The voiceless fricative appears at the beginning and end of the word shush.

 Affricate consonant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Affricates may also be contrasted by palatalization, as in the Erzya language, where voiceless alveolar, postalveolar and palatal affricates are contrasted.
Labialized, palatalized, velarized, and pharyngealized affricates also occur.
Affricates and stop-fricative sequences are also distinguished phonemically.

 Kolagian Orthography
For example, few Kolagian languages use the phonetic sound represented as [c], a voiceless palatal stop, but many languages have a voiceless post-alveolar affricate, [ʧ].
A voiceless alveolar click, for example, is {k!t}.
In addition to the standards given in this document, the rules allow each language to have its own Modified Kolagian Orthography (MKO) to resolve problems specific to that language.

The affricate is a fused morpheme that is a combination of the control suffix and a 1st/2nd person object suffix.
Generally in Uralic, /i/ and /j/ effect palatalization on a neighboring affricate, but sometimes the cause is deleted and effect remains, retaining the phonemic status that the deleted (semi)vowel held.
I say, either all three hypothetical voiced dorsal affricates should be listed, or none.
