| | Some speakers often attempt to emulate more conservative styles by reinserting /s/ in the syllable rhyme, but the result is frequently hypercorrect in that the fricative either fails to match the position of etymological /s/ or altogether lacks a corresponding /s/ in the conservative lexical item. | | | Finally, I argue that the emergence of hypercorrect /s/ is curtailed in those surface contexts in which its presence would jeopardize other phonological contrasts in the system, and I show how this already follows from Padgett's (2003) Dispersion-theoretic analysis. | | | First, I show how Padgett's (2003) analysis of Catalan and Spanish rhotics, cast within a recent version of Dispersion Theory (Flemming 1995, 2002), offers a simpler account of the behavior of syllable-initial rhotics and does not require stipulations on the input representation of rhotic contrast, effectively handling the possibility of singleton trills. |

| | The next (important) question to be asked is why contrast is confined to intervocoid position, where the rhotic is at the beginning of the onset. | | | Compare this position (contrast) and syllable initial after a true consonant (only less sonorous rhotic). | | | A good ground to test this claim is languages in which rhotics contrast, as in some Romance languages (e.g. |

| | The bilabial trill, however, is not considered a rhotic. | | | However, "being r-like" is a strangely elusive feature, and the very same sounds that function as rhotics in some systems may pattern with fricatives, semivowels or even stops in others. | | | :Many languages, for example Russian or Italian, use trilled rhotics. |

| | Most languages only have one phonemic rhotic consonant (only about 18% of the world's languages have more than one rhotic). | | | As a result, rhotic consonants are generally transcribed with the < r > character. | | | This usage is common practice in Americanist and also other notational traditions (such as the IPA). |

| | In non-rhotic English, rhotics are only audible in syllable onset position ("run"). | | | This model applies in English to word-final laterals for example, which are considered in terms of dorsum retraction (V gesture) and apical extension and forwarding (C gesture). | | | These results strongly suggest that both uncontestable onset [r] (eg "to Ron's") and linking [r] (eg "for us") can be considered as phonologically identical in a non-rhotic accent based on evidence from the magnitude of their component gestures and their phasing relations. |

| | As mentioned above, the retroflex trill is more consistently trilled than the other rhotics. | | | have found that the rhotic which may occur word initially (erroneously called "dental" in previous literature, perhaps because Dravidian coronals tend to be dental by default) has a secondary articulation, which they have tentatively identified as advanced tongue root until further measurements can be made. | | | Although the tongue starts out in a sub-apical retroflex position, trilling involves the tip of the tongue, and this causes it to move forward toward the alvoelar ridge. |

| | It is also shown that the implementation of clear/dark allophony is not only structure-dependent but also dialect-specific. | | | Sproat and Fujimura, for example, give an articulatory phonetic motivation for phonological analysis of clear and dark laterals with phonetic interpretation intrinsic to the phonological representation. | | | Distinct patterns of resonance quality were found for rhotic and non-rhotic varieties: syllable-initial [r] in rhotic varieties was always darker than syllable-initial [l], whereas non-rhotic varieties varied the quality of initial rhotics depending on the absolute quality of initial laterals. |

| | The Letter R (page 3) Antimoon Forum |
| | The "r-sound" in languages is definitely a consonant, but it's a rhotic, which means "r-sound," and also means that it's a unique sound, unlike any other consonant. | | | There are other rhotics, too, like true retroflex taps and approximants. | | | If it is only allowed to do this once, it's a tap or flap rather than a trill; some languages make a distinction between the two pronunciations (like Spanish). |
