Abstract:

Liquids, or l- and r-sounds, show variation in pronunciation, and tend
to disappear (vocalize or delete) when they follow a vowel. In the
Dutch dialect of Volendam, there is variation between light, dark and
vocalized l-sounds, and different variants of r are used. the Volendam
dialect shows a high amount of variation in the production of both
postvocalic /l/, and /r/.

The present study has the goal to answer the question about the nature
of primitives: are they acoustic (as proposed by Element Theory) in
nature, articulatory (as proposed by Articulatory Phonology), or both
(as proposed by GP/Mainstream Phonology)?

In order to study this topic, recordings from both acoustics and
articulation were made. Ultrasound Tongue Imaging was used to study
articulation of tongue movements. Speakers from Volendam were recorded
while reading aloud 6 repetitions of 20 declaratives and 20 questions,
containing words with and without postvocalic liquids.

Both acoustic and articulatory data are relevant for answering the
question about the nature of phonological primes. Differences in
acoustics were not always visible in articulation and differences in
articulation were not always visible in acoustics.
