A Brief Analysis of the Lithuanian and Latvian Nasal Sonorants and their Velar Allophones / Jurgita Jaroslavienė // Сучасні тенденції фонетичних досліджень : збірник матеріалів ІІІ Круглого столу з міжнародною участю (19 квітня 2019 р.). – Київ : КПІ ім. Ігоря Сікорського, 2019. – С. 33–37. – Бібліогр.: 24 назв.https://ela.kpi.ua/handle/123456789/35318In this paper the main spectral characteristics of the following Lithuanian and Latvian sonorants and their velar allophones are briefly described: Lith. /m/, /mj/, /n/, /nj/, [ŋ], [ŋj] and Lat. /m/, /n/, /ɲ/, [ŋ]. Until now, there has been only one comparative study on acoustic features of Lithuanian and Latvian nasals using a similar methodology [11]. For the Lithuanian part of the study, isolated sequences (of CVC type), as well as disyllabic, mostly nonsense words (of CVCV type; in the case of [ŋ], [ŋj], VCCV type) were selected, while for the Latvian language isolated monosyllabic sequences (of CVC type; in the case of [ŋ], CCVCC type) were analysed. Only the first non-stressed consonant is the object of this paper.ukStandard LithuanianStandard Latviansonorantformant structurespectral analysisacoustic featurespectral characteristicsArticlePp. 33-37
