Voiced dental, alveolar and postalveolar trills

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected fromVoiced dental trill)

Thevoiced alveolar trillis a type ofconsonantalsound used in some spokenlanguages.The symbol in theInternational Phonetic Alphabetthat representsdental,alveolar,andpostalveolartrillsis ⟨r⟩, and the equivalentX-SAMPAsymbol isr.It is commonly called therolled R,rolling R,ortrilled R.Quite often, ⟨r⟩ is used in phonemic transcriptions (especially those found in dictionaries) of languages likeEnglishandGermanthat haverhotic consonantsthat 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 manyIndo-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 includeAlbanian,Spanish,Cypriot Greek,and a number ofArmenianandPortuguesedialects.[citation needed]

People withankyloglossiamay 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 thealveolar 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.

InCzech,there are two contrasting alveolar trills. Besides the typical apical trill, writtenr,there is another laminal trill, writtenř,in words such asrybáři[ˈrɪbaːr̝ɪ]'fishermen' and the common surnameDvořák.Its manner of articulation is similar to[r]but islaminaland the body of the tongue israised.It is thus partiallyfricative,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 1989IPA Kiel Convention,it had a dedicated symbol ⟨ɼ⟩.) TheKobon languageofPapua New Guineaalso has a fricative trill, but the degree of frication is variable.
