Description
The primary purpose of this study was to determine whether the
processes of liaison and enchainement, in otherwise phonemically
identical pairs, would produce phonetically identical utterances as
tested by an auditory discrimination test and a spectrographic
analysis of contrasting pairs. In addition, single versus geminate
consonants of union and one versus two word utterances with the same
phonological structures were compared.
While no phonemic distinctions were proven between union by
liaison and encha1nement or between one versus two word utterances,
results would seem to indicate a phonemic length distinction between
single versus geminate consonants. The test items were identified
with varying degrees of accuracy depending on the extent to which the
paired utterances contrasted in the following ways: 1) length of the
consonant of union; 2) length of the vowel preceding union; 3) quality
of the vowel preceding union and 4) length of the vowel following
union.
