    Feature Geometry

    Uploaded by

    Tegar Abi Huda
    This document discusses several concepts in phonology: 1) Feature geometry represents phonological features in a structured hierarchy rather than a matrix or set. 2) Nasal place assimilation occurs when a nasal phoneme assimilates the place features of an adjacent consonant. 3) Nonlinear phonology emphasizes relationships among larger segments like syllables, words, and phrases, as well as the impact of suprasegmental aspects like stress, intonation, and pauses on speech production.

    FEATURE GEOMETRY

    Presented by:
    Lecturer:
    Mr. Darwis M, Pd
    Definition of feature
    geometry

    Feature geometry is a phonological


    theory which represents distinctive
    features as a structured hierarchy
    rather than a matrix or a set.
    Feature tree

    The features have been represented as an unorganized


    bundle: the features may freely combine in the construc
    tion of a phoemic inventory as well as in defining
    natural cases.
    Nasal place asimilation

    Nasal place assimilation, one of the more common phonological process


    es found in natural languages, occurs when a nasal phoneme assimilates t
    he place features of another consonant in its environment.
    NONLINIER
    PHONOLOGY
    Emphasizes relationships among larger
    Segments of lang- syllables, words, and
    phrases- as well as the impact of
    suprasegmental aspects of
    phonology- intonation, stress, and pauses- on
    speech production.
    A. STRESS
    stress is the
    degree of
    First Second emphasis Third Fourth
    given a sound
    syllable syllable or syllable in syllable syllable
    speech,

    Example : Example :
    doctor Example : understand Example :
    Alone
    handicap important
    controversial configuration
    testimony comparison university experimental
    capitalism sophisticated responsibility
    Syllabels
    Syllables differ from phonemes in that a phoneme is the
    smallest unit of sound.
    Example :
    Word Syllabels Sound pattern /
    spelling rules

    Because be cause Au
    Played play ed Ay
    Conglomerate con glom er ate Bossy “ e ”
    Spreading & Delinking
    Spreading Delinking

    spreading is open out (something) delinking is break the connection


    so as to extend its surface area, between (something) and
    width, or length. something else.
    Example :
    Debuccalization
    Debuccalization is a sound change or alternation in which an oral consonant loses
    its original place of articulation and moves it to the glottis (usually [h], [ɦ], or [ʔ].

    Example :
    Suprasegmental
    Suprasegmental
    also called Prosodic Feature, in phonetics, a speech feature such as stress, tone, or word juncture that accompa
    nies or is added over consonants and vowels; these features are not limited to single sounds but often extend ove
    r syllables, words, or phrases

    Tone
    Tone, is an attitude of a writer toward a subject or an audience. Tone is generally conveyed through the choice of
    words, or the viewpoint of a writer on a particular subject. The tone can be formal, informal, serious, comic, sarcas
    tic, sad, or cheerful, or it may be any other existing attitude
    Example

    Father: “We are going on a vacation.”


    Son: “That’s great!!!”
    – The tone of son’s response is very cheerful.

    Father: “We can’t go on vacation this summer.”


    Son: “Yeah, great! That’s what I expected.”
    – The son’s tone is sarcastic.

    “Yeah, your grades on this exam will be as good as the previous exams.”
    – The tone is pessimistic in this example.

    “Can someone tell me what the hell is going on here?”


    – This has an aggressive tone.
    Stress

    Stress is the relative emphasis that may be given to certain syllables in a word, or to certain words in a phrase or s
    entence. In English, stressed syllables are louder than non-stressed syllables. Also, they are longer and have a hi
    gher pitch
    holiday, alone, admiration, confidential, degree, weaker, nervous, parents
    grammatical words (auxiliary verbs, prepositions, pronouns, articles, …) usually do not receive any stress. Lexical
    words, however, (nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs) must have at least one stressed syllable.
    There are many verbs that consist of two syllables. Mostly, the stress is on the second syllable. The same word ha
    s become a noun. The noun, however, is stressed differently: the stress is on the first syllable
    to record = a record
    to permit = a permit
    to transport = a transport
