Voiced dental, alveolar and postalveolar trills

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Voiced dental trill)

The voiced alveolar trill is a type of consonantal sound used in some spoken languages. The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents dental, alveolar, and postalveolar trills is ⟨r⟩, and the equivalent X-SAMPA symbol is r. It is commonly called the rolled R, rolling R, or trilled R. Quite often, ⟨r⟩ is used in phonemic transcriptions (especially those found in dictionaries) of languages like English and German that have rhotic consonants that are not an alveolar trill. That is partly for ease of typesetting and partly because ⟨r⟩ is the letter used in the orthographies of such languages.

In many Indo-European languages, a trill may often be reduced to a single vibration in unstressed positions. In Italian, a simple trill typically displays only one or two vibrations, while a geminate trill will have three or more.[1] Languages where trills always have multiple vibrations include Albanian, Spanish, Cypriot Greek, and a number of Armenian and Portuguese dialects.[citation needed]

People with ankyloglossia may find it exceptionally difficult to articulate the sound because of the limited mobility of their tongues.[2][3]

Features

[edit]

Features of the voiced alveolar trill:

dental (behind the upper front teeth),
alveolar (at the alveolar ridge), or
post-alveolar (behind the alveolar ridge).

Occurrence

[edit]
A trill extended for about 2 seconds, captured in slow motion to reveal the individual 36–44 Hz tongue oscillations.

Voiced alveolar fricative trill

In Czech, there are two contrasting alveolar trills. Besides the typical apical trill, written r, there is another laminal trill, written ř, in words such as rybáři [ˈrɪbaːr̝ɪ] 'fishermen' and the common surname Dvořák. Its manner of articulation is similar to [r] but is laminal and the body of the tongue is raised. It is thus partially fricative, with the frication sounding rather like [ʒ] but less retracted. It sounds like a simultaneous [r] and [ʒ], and some speakers tend to pronounce it as [rʐ], [ɾʒ], or [ɹʒ]. In the IPA, it is typically written as ⟨r⟩ plus the raising diacritic, ⟨⟩, but it has also been written as laminal ⟨⟩.[42] (Before the 1989 IPA Kiel Convention, it had a dedicated symbol ⟨ɼ⟩.) The Kobon language of Papua New Guinea also has a fricative trill, but the degree of frication is variable.

Examples

[edit]
Language Word IPA Meaning Notes
Czech[43][44][45][46] čtyři [ˈt͡ʃtɪr̝ɪ] 'four' May be a non-sibilant fricative.[44] It contrasts with /r/ and /ʒ/. See Czech phonology
Dzongkha[47] རུ་ཏོག་/ru-tog [r̝uto] 'bone' Usually released as a normal trilled [r], sometimes it has a slightly fricative character vaguely reminiscent of Czech ř. Dzongkha r is followed by the low register tone.
Kashubian[48] rzéka [r̝eka] 'river' Only some northern and northwestern speakers. Formerly common over the whole speaking area.[48]
Kobon [example needed] Amount of frication variable. May also be a fricative flap[citation needed]
Ormuri Standard (Kaniguram) تڒګب/tařgab [tɑr̝geb] 'summer' Corresponds to /ʃ/ in Logar dialect.
Polish Some dialects[49] rzeka [r̝ɛka] 'river' Contrasts with /r/ and /ʐ/. Present in areas from Starogard Gdański to Malbork[49] and those south, west and northwest of them,[49] area from Lubawa to Olsztyn to Olecko to Działdowo,[49] south and east of Wieleń,[49] around Wołomin,[49] southeast of Ostrów Mazowiecka[49] and west of Siedlce,[49] from Brzeg to Opole and areas to the north,[49] and roughly from Racibórz to Nowy Targ.[49] Most speakers, as well as standard Polish, merge it with /ʐ/,[49] and speakers maintaining the distinction (which is mostly the elderly) sporadically do as well.[49] See Polish phonology
Portuguese[50] European os rins [u ˈr̝ĩʃ] 'the kidneys' Possible realization of the sequence /sr/ for speakers who realize /r/ as [r].[50] See Portuguese phonology
Silesian Gmina Istebna[51] umrz [ˈumr̝iw] '(he) died' Contrasts with /r/ and /ʒ/. Merges with /ʐ/ in most Polish dialects.
Jablunkov[51] [example needed]
Slovak Northern dialects[49][52] řyka [ˈr̝ɪkä] 'river' Only in a few dialects near the Polish border.[49] See Slovak phonology
Spanish rana [ˈr̝änä] 'frog' Possible realization of /r/ in some dialects, may also be realized as a non-sibilant alveolar fricative [ɹ̝-] or as a sibilant retroflex fricative [ʐ].
Chicahuaxtla Trique[53] raꞌa [rᶾa˧ʔaː˧] or [r̥ᶴa˧ʔaː˧] 'hand' Initial allophone of /r/.
Tsakonian[54] ρζινοδίτζη [r̝inoðitɕi] 'justice of the peace' /ʒ/ appears to have been a fricative trill in the 19th century, and [ʒ] survived latterly only in women's usage in Southern Tsakonian.
