Thevoiced palatal lateral approximantis a type ofconsonantalsound used in somespokenlanguages.The symbol in theInternational Phonetic Alphabetthat represents this sound is ⟨ʎ⟩, a rotated lowercase letter⟨y⟩,and the equivalentX-SAMPAsymbol isL
.
Many languages that were previously thought to have a palatallateralapproximant actually have a lateral approximant that is, broadly,alveolo-palatal;that is to say, it is articulated at a place in-between thealveolar ridgeand thehard palate(excluded), and it may be variously described as alveolo-palatal, lamino-postalveolar,[1]or postalveolo-prepalatal.[2]None of the 13 languages investigated byRecasens (2013),many of themRomance,has a 'true' palatal.[3]That is likely the case for several other languages listed here. Some languages, like Portuguese and Catalan, have a lateral approximant that varies between alveolar and alveolo-palatal.[4]
There is no dedicated symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents thealveolo-palatal lateral approximant.If precision is desired, it may be transcribed ⟨l̠ʲ⟩ or ⟨ʎ̟⟩; they are essentially equivalent because the contact includes both the blade and body (but not the tip) of the tongue. There is also a non-IPA letterU+0234ȴLATIN SMALL LETTER L WITH CURL;⟨ȴ⟩( "l", plus the curl found in the symbols for alveolo-palatal sibilant fricatives⟨ɕ,ʑ⟩) is used especially in Sinological circles.
The voiced palatal lateral approximant contrasts phonemically with itsvoiceless counterpart/ʎ̥/in theXumi languagespoken in China.[5][6]
Features
[edit]Features of the voiced palatal lateral approximant:
- Itsmanner of articulationisapproximant,which means it is produced by narrowing the vocal tract at the place of articulation, but not enough to produce aturbulent airstream.
- Itsplace of articulationispalatal,which means it is articulated with the middle or back part of thetongueraised to thehard palate.
- Itsphonationis voiced, which means the vocal cords vibrate during the articulation.
- It is anoral consonant,which means air is allowed to escape through the mouth only.
- It is alateral consonant,which means it is produced by directing the airstream over the sides of the tongue, rather than down the middle.
- Itsairstream mechanismispulmonic,which means it is articulated by pushing air solely with theintercostal musclesandabdominal muscles,as in most sounds.
