Características linguopalatales de la nasal palatalizada en español
Keywords:
EPG, nasals, alveolar place of articulation, palatalized place of articulation, alveopalatal place of articulationAbstract
Coda nasals adapt very easily to the place of articulation of following segment. The differences in place of articulation of the different variants are not always verifiable acoustically, but they can be distinguished articulatorily. This study shows the difference between the alveolar nasal, the palatalized nasal and the alveolopalatal nasal in Spanish, through electropalatographic data obtained from two speakers. Electropalatography is one of the most effective techniques in the instrumental analysis of articulation. The results of the analysis reveal that the palatalized nasal, rather than being identifiable as an alveopalatal nasal, can be identified as a different segment halfway between the alveolar and alveopalatal nasals.
