| | Lojban Reference Grammar: Chapter 3 |
 | | In Lojban, as much as possible, the sound of a consonant is unrelated to its position. | | | Many languages do not have consonant clusters at all, and even those languages that do have them often allow only a subset of the full Lojban set. | | | Consonants may occur at the beginning or end of a syllable, around the vowel, and there may be several consonants in a cluster in either position. |

| | Going Romance 2002 - Abstract |
| | I propose that the beginner Mandarin learners initially make greater use of phonetic cues and consequently assign an input representation in which [R] is a dorsal fricative and not a placeless <b>rhoticb> approximant. | | | As concerns rhotics in particular, Maddieson (1984) reports that, of the 317 languages included in the UCLA Phonological Segment Inventory Database, 308 or 97.5% of rhotics are voiced; French [R] is therefore a poor candidate for a <b>rhoticb>. | | | Rose then demonstrates that differences in consonant harmony patterns between the two child learners can be explained if one of the two children has misanalysed target /r/ and assigned it a [dorsal] input specification. |

| | Introduction to Phonetics and Phonology |
| | The maximum onset principle algorithm works on the basis that as many consonants should be syllabified with a following vowel, providing that the resulting sequence is phonotactically legal. | | | From this we can predict which consonant sequences are more probable for syllable onsets and codas. | | | Most languages do not allow as many as three consonants in the syllabic onset however there are some that allow up to six. |

| | The corresponding <b>rhoticb> consonant /r/ (a sonorant, not a trill) has a significantly lower first formant than the <b>rhoticb> vowel, but is very similar in second and third formant values, suggesting the vowel and consonant are produced in very much the same location in the mouth, but the consonant has a closer constriction. | | | The <b>rhoticb> vowel is characterized by a substantially lower third formant than any other vowel. | | | In Robins (1958) analysis the plain vs laryngealized sonorant contrast is neutralized in (utterance-)initial position, but our data suggest that this is not so, or at least not always so for all speakers. |

| | how to pronunce "er" in American English? Antimoon Forum |
| | In American English, the vowel in these words is pronounced simultaneously with the <b>rhoticb> consonant. | | | In words such as "her" and "hurt," this is done simultaneously with the positioning of the rest of the tongue for the vowel in the word, and the vowel and consonant are pronounced simultaneously. | | | British English would theoretically pronounce the 'r' in essentially the same way, except that the 'r' is often not pronounced at all unless it precedes a vowel sound, so you don't hear the above as often, if at all. |

| | The traditional Boston accent is non-<b>rhoticb>; in other words, the phoneme [r] does not appear at the end of a syllable or immediately before a consonant. | | | There are also a number of Boston accent speakers with rhoticity, but they sometimes delete [r] only in unaccented syllables or words before a consonant. | | | The nuclei of the diphthongs /aɪ/ and /aʊ/ may be raised to something like /ɐ/ before voiceless consonants: thus write has a higher vowel than ride. |

| | Furthermore where there is r-colouring in these non-adjacent vowels it reinforces the influence of the <b>rhoticb> consonant on vowels directly adjacent to the /r/. | | | Future work should examine longer sequences of unstressed syllables to establish the temporal domain of <b>rhoticb> influence. | | | More extensive and consistent coarticulatory effects were found in vowels after /r/ than /l/, so this final section focuses exclusively on r-colouring and summarises the contexts which encourage the spread of <b>rhoticb> influence. |

| | Contrast in the Dutch sonorant consonant systems |
| | The difference between the lateral liquid and the <b>rhoticb> liquid becomes apparent when the syllabification of word internal obstruent-liquid clusters is considered. | | | However, the distribution of the Dutch sonorant consonants is slightly more complicated and I argue that the inherently dualistic nature of these segments - they contain both consonantal manner properties and vocalic manner properties - makes them more sensitive to influences for their place of articulation on their phonotactic behaviour. | | | Dutch has, like many other Germanic languages, seven sonorant consonants. |
