41-415: VoQS symbols are normally combined with curly braces that span a section of speech, just as with prosody notation in the extended IPA (extIPA). In fact, they started off as part of extIPA before being split off. The symbols may be modified with a digit to convey relative degree of the quality. For example, ⟨ V! ⟩ is used for harsh voice , and {3V! ... 3V! } indicates that the intervening speech

82-440: A longer duration of aspiration than normally aspirated (post-aspirated) stops, comparable to clusters of [h] +consonant in languages with such clusters. As a result, they view preaspiration as purely a distributional feature, indistinguishable phonetically and phonologically from clusters with /h/ , and prefer to notate preaspirated stops as clusters, e.g. Icelandic kappi /ˈkʰahpi/ "hero" rather than /ˈkʰaʰpi/ . A distinction

123-424: A partial degree of voicing at the beginning or end of the sound. For the latter, both parentheses mean the sound is (de)voiced in the middle, while the single parentheses mean complete (de)voicing at the beginning or end of the sound. The implication is that such voicing or devoicing is atypical of the language being spoken. For example, ⟨ z̥ ⟩ would be used for the usual devoicing or partial devoicing of

164-427: A relationship (synchronically and diachronically) with long vowels or [s] -stop clusters. Preaspiration can take a number of different forms; while the most usual is glottal friction (an [h] -like sound), the precise phonetic quality can be affected by the obstruent or the preceding vowel, becoming for example [ç] after close vowels ; other potential realizations include [x] and even [f] . Preaspiration

205-834: A set of letters and diacritics devised by the International Clinical Phonetics and Linguistics Association to augment the International Phonetic Alphabet for the phonetic transcription of disordered speech . Some of the symbols are used for transcribing features of normal speech in IPA transcription, and are accepted as such by the International Phonetic Association . Many sounds found only in disordered speech are indicated with diacritics, though an increasing number of dedicated letters are used as well. Special letters are included to transcribe

246-489: A stretch of speech. For example, 'palatalized voice' indicates palatalization of all segments of speech spanned by the braces. Several of these symbols may be profitably used as part of single speech sounds, in addition to indicating voice qualities across spans of speech. For example, [ↀ͡r̪͆ː] is blowing a raspberry. [ɬ↓ʔ] is the l* sound in Damin while [{↓ ... ↓}] is a string of ingressive speech. The airstream mechanism

287-417: A subset of extIPA. Several letters and superscript forms were added to Unicode 14 and 15. They are included in the free Gentium Plus and Andika fonts. The extIPA has widened the use of some of the regular IPA symbols, such as [ʰp] for pre-aspiration and [tʶ] for uvularization, and has added some new ones. Some of these extIPA diacritics are occasionally used for non-disordered speech, for example for

328-464: A target sound has not been reached – for example, [ˈtʃɪᵏən] for an instance of the word 'chicken' where the /k/ is incompletely articulated. However, due to the ambiguous meaning of superscripting in the IPA, this is not a convention supported by the ICPLA. An unambiguous transcription would mark the consonant more specifically as weakened ( [ˈtʃɪk͉ən] ) or silent ( [ˈtʃɪ(k)ən] ). A sample transcription of

They will involve

410-419: Is a common topic in speech pathology, though ⟨ s̪ z̪ ⟩ occur in non-pathological speech in some languages. Any IPA letter may be used in superscript form as a diacritic, to indicate the onset, release or 'flavor' of another letter. In extIPA, this is provided specifically for the fricative release of a plosive. For example, ⟨ k𐞜 ⟩ is [k] with a lateral-fricative release (similar to

451-433: Is a period of voicelessness or aspiration preceding the closure of a voiceless obstruent , basically equivalent to an [h] -like sound preceding the obstruent. In other words, when an obstruent is preaspirated, the glottis is opened for some time before the obstruent closure. To mark preaspiration using the International Phonetic Alphabet , the diacritic for regular aspiration, ⟨ ʰ ⟩, can be placed before

492-450: Is added here. Several new columns appear as well, though the linguolabial column is the result of a standard-IPA diacritic. Dorso-velar and velo-dorsal are combined here, as are upper and lower alveolar. The customary use of superscript IPA letters is formalized in the extIPA, specifically for fricative releases of plosives, as can be seen in the lower-left of the full chart. Speech pathologists also often use superscripting to indicate that

533-425: Is also IPA usage. Sometimes the obscuring noise will be indicated instead, as in ⸨cough⸩ or ⸨knock⸩, as in the illustrative transcription below; this notation may be used for extraneous noise that does not obscure speech, but which the transcriber nonetheless wishes to notate (e.g. because someone says 'excuse me' after coughing, or verbally responds to the knock on the door, and the noise is thus required to understand

574-524: Is furthermore found in most Sami languages , except Inari Sami where it has been replaced by postaspiration. The historical relationship between preaspiration in Sami and North Germanic is disputed: there is general agreement of a connection, but not on whether it represents Sami influence in North Germanic, North Germanic influence in Sami or parallel sprachbund influence in both languages. Elsewhere in

615-550: Is most commonly observed in quick changes from the blade to the tip of the tongue (laminal to apical) in plosives and fricatives, such as [t̪͢t] and [t͢θ] , or vice versa, but is not limited to that; the consonants may also be labial or dorsal, e.g. [ɸ͢f] and [k͢q] . The slit-grooved distinction of the channel shape of front fricatives may be handled with these diacritics, with for example ⟨ s̪ z̪ ⟩ for grooved (sibilant) dental fricatives, and ⟨ θ͇ ð͇ ⟩ for ungrooved (non-sibilant) aveolar fricatives. This

656-529: Is often made between so-called normative and non-normative preaspiration: in a language with normative preaspiration of certain voiceless obstruents, the preaspiration is obligatory even though it is not a distinctive feature; in a language with non-normative preaspiration, the preaspiration can be phonetically structured for those who use it, but it is non-obligatory, and may not appear with all speakers. Preaspirated consonants are typically in free variation with spirant -stop clusters, though they may also have

697-411: Is sometimes found in IPA transcription, though in IPA the diacritic has also been used for apical-retroflex articulation. The Extended IPA has adopted bracket notation from conventions transcribing discourse. Parentheses are used to indicate mouthing (silent articulation), as in the common silent sign to hush (ʃːː) . Parentheses are also used to indicate silent pauses, for example (...); the length of

738-744: Is the process for generating the flow of air required for speech. The four primary phonation types, other than voiceless , each receive a distinct letter: Modifications are made with diacritics. The terms "whispery voice" and "breathy voice" follow Catford (1977) and differ from the vocabulary of the IPA, with VoQS "whispery voice" being equivalent to IPA "breathy voice" / "murmur". The notations {Ṿ } and {V̤ } are therefore often confused, and {V̤ } should perhaps be used for VoQS "whispery voice" with e.g. {Vʱ } for VoQS "breathy voice". These settings involve secondary articulation , usually in addition to any articulation that would be expected for non-pathological speech. They are called voices because they affect

779-473: Is uncertain. For example, ⓚ indicates that the segment is judged to probably be [k] . This is effectively a copy-edit mark , and may be elongated into an oval for longer strings of symbols. This was illustrated in the 1997 edition of the chart, where the circle was typeset as ( ̲̅) and longer strings as e.g. (a̲̅a̲̅a̲̅). There is no way to typeset this in Unicode that does not require spurious characters between

820-422: Is used for an English molar-r , as opposed to ⟨ ɹ̺ ⟩ for an apical r; these articulations are indistinguishable in sound and so are rarely identified in non-disordered speech. Sounds restricted to disordered speech include velopharyngeals , nasal fricatives (a.k.a. nareal fricatives) and some of the percussive consonants . Sounds sometimes found in the world's languages that do not have symbols in

861-543: Is very harsh. ⟨ L̞ ⟩ indicates a lowered larynx. Thus, {L̞1V! ... 1V!L̞ } indicates that the intervening speech is less harsh with a lowered larynx. VoQS use mostly IPA or extended IPA diacritics on capital letters for the element being modified: V for 'voice'/articulation, L for 'larynx', and J for 'jaw'. Degree is marked 1 for slight, 2 for moderate, and 3 for extreme. The following combinations of letters and diacritics are used. They indicate an airstream mechanism, phonation or secondary articulation across

SECTION 20

902-654: Is very unstable both synchronically and diachronically and is often replaced by a fricative or by a lengthening of the preceding vowel. Preaspiration is perhaps best known from North Germanic languages , most prominently in Icelandic and Faroese , but also some dialects of Norwegian and Swedish . It is also a prominent feature of Scottish Gaelic . The presence of preaspiration in Gaelic has been attributed to North Germanic influence. Within Northwestern Europe preaspiration

943-658: The Western Sami area and spread eastwards to Skolt Sami. In several Sami languages, preaspirated stops/affricates contrast with lax voiceless stops, either due to denasalization of earlier clusters (e.g. *nt > [d̥ː] ) or in connection to consonant gradation . In Scottish Gaelic , however, due to the historical loss of voiced stops preaspiration is phonemic in medial and final positions after stressed vowels. Its strength varies from area to area and can manifest itself as [ʰ] or [h] or in areas with strong preaspiration as [ç] or [x] . The occurrence of preaspiration follows

984-467: The Western Sami languages ( Southern , Ume , Pite , Lule and Northern ) as well as Skolt Sami , preaspiration affects both long and half-long consonants; in most Eastern Sami languages ( Akkala , Kildin and Ter ) only fully long consonants are preaspirated. This likely represents two waves of innovation: an early preaspiration of long consonants dating back to Proto-Sami , followed by a secondary preaspiration of half-long consonants that originated in

1025-469: The basic IPA include denasals , the sublaminal percussive , palatal and velar lateral fricatives , and fricatives that are simultaneously lateral and sibilant. ExtIPA was revised and expanded in 2015; the new symbols were added to Unicode in 2021. The non-IPA letters found in the extIPA are listed in the following table. VoQS letters may also be used, as in ⟨ ↀ͡r̪͆ ⟩ for a buccal interdental trill (a raspberry ), as VoQS started off as

1066-514: The dialects of Vágar , northern Streymoy and Eysturoy also have ungeminated preaspirated plosives and affricates (except after close vowels/diphthongs): Some examples of preaspirated plosives from Icelandic : In Huautla Mazatec , preaspirates can occur word-initially, perhaps uniquely among languages which contain preaspirates: Preaspiration in the Sami languages occurs on word-medial voiceless stops and affricates of all places of articulation available: /p/, /t̪/, /t͡s/, /t͡ɕ/, /k/ . In

1107-404: The intervening text. The VoQS conventions use similar notation for voice quality. These may be combined, for example with VoQS ⟨F⟩ for 'falsetto': or Three rows appear in the extIPA chart that do not occur in the IPA chart: "fricative lateral + median" (simultaneous grooved and lateral frication), " fricative nasal " (a.k.a. nareal fricative) and " percussive ". A denasal row

1148-477: The language, while ⟨ z̥᪽ ⟩ would indicate that the transcriber found the devoicing to be atypical, as in pathological speech. Similarly, ⟨ z̥᫃ ⟩ would indicate atypical devoicing at the beginning of the segment. Altering the position of a diacritic relative to the letter indicates that the phonation begins before the consonant or vowel does or continues beyond it. The voiceless ring and other phonation diacritics can be used in

1189-401: The letters (as here), but it may be graphically approximated with an unused set of brackets, such as ⦇aaa⦈. Curly brackets with Italian musical terms are used for phonation and prosodic notation, such as [{ falsetto ˈhɛlp falsetto }] and terms for the tempo and dynamics of connected speech. These are subscripted within a {curly brace} notation to indicate that they are comments on

1230-570: The number of diacritics on a letter becomes excessive, the notation may be broken up. For example, {Ṿ̰̃ˠ} may be replaced with {VˠṼṾV̰} . Symbols to the right in a cell are voiced , to the left are voiceless . Shaded areas denote articulations judged impossible. Legend: unrounded  •  rounded Extended IPA The Extensions to the International Phonetic Alphabet for Disordered Speech , commonly abbreviated extIPA / ɛ k ˈ s t aɪ p ə / , are

1271-438: The pause may be indicated, as in (2.3 sec). A very short (.) may be used to indicate an absence of co-articulation between adjacent segments, for instance [t(.)weɫv̥] rather than [tʷw̥eɫv̥] . Double parentheses indicate that transcription is uncertain because of extraneous noise or speech, as when one person talks over another. As much detail as possible may be included, as in ⸨2 syll.⸩ or ⸨2σ⸩ for two obscured syllables. This

1312-435: The preaspirated consonant. However, Ladefoged & Maddieson (1996 :70) prefer to use a simple cluster notation, e.g. ⟨ hk ⟩ instead of ⟨ ʰk ⟩. Preaspiration is comparatively uncommon across languages of the world, and is claimed by some to not be phonemically contrastive in any language. Ladefoged & Maddieson (1996) note that, at least in the case of Icelandic , preaspirated stops have

1353-470: The same way if needed. For example, ⟨ p˳a ⟩ indicates that voicelessness continues past the [p] , more or less equivalent to ⟨ pʰa ⟩. Other extIPA diacritics are: Diacritics may be placed within parentheses as the voicing diacritics are above. For example, ⟨ m͊᪻ ⟩ indicates a partially denasalized [m] . The arrow for sliding articulation was first used for [wɑət̪s̪͢θ] for 'watch' and [z̪͢ðɪpʊə] for 'zipper'. It

1394-445: The segment (pre- and post-voicing etc. ). The following are examples; in principle, any IPA or extIPA diacritic may be parenthesized or displaced in this manner. The transcriptions for partial voicing and devoicing may be used in either the sense of degrees of voicing or in the sense that the voicing is discontinuous. For the former, both parentheses indicate the sound is mildly (partially) voiced throughout, and single parentheses mean

1435-499: The sound quality of the utterance (that is, the individual's human voice ), though this usage contradicts the IPA use of the word "voice" for voicing . For illustration here, diacritics are combined with the letter 'V' for modal voice, as that is the default assumption. (They could also be combined with F, W, C, etc.) Combinations of symbols are also used, such as {Ṿ̃} for nasal whispery voice, {WF̰} for whispery creaky falsetto, or {V͋‼} for ventricular phonation with nasal lisp. If

1476-474: The speech of people with lisps and cleft palates . The extIPA repeats several standard-IPA diacritics that are unfamiliar to most people but transcribe features that are common in disordered speech. These include preaspiration ⟨ ʰ◌ ⟩, linguolabial ⟨ ◌̼ ⟩, laminal fricatives [s̻, z̻] , and ⟨ * ⟩ for a sound (segment or feature) with no available symbol (letter or diacritic). The novel transcription ⟨ ɹ̈ ⟩

1517-618: The speech). In the extIPA, indistinguishable/unidentifiable sounds are circled rather than placed in single parentheses as in IPA. An empty circle, ◯, is used for an indeterminate segment, ◯  σ  an indeterminate syllable, Ⓒ a segment identifiable only as a consonant, etc. Full capital letters, such as C in Ⓒ, are used as wild-cards for certain categories of sounds , and may combine with IPA and extIPA diacritics. For example, ◯   P̥   indicates an undetermined or indeterminate voiceless plosive. Regular IPA and extIPA letters may also be circled to indicate that their identification

All of the first-round games will be in the provincial towns with the semi-finals, and finals held in Barcelona and Madrid." Symbols to the right in a cell are voiced , to the left are voiceless . Shaded areas denote articulations judged impossible. Legend: unrounded  •  rounded Preaspiration In phonetics , preaspiration (sometimes spelled pre-aspiration )

1599-478: The unusual airstream mechanisms of Damin . One modification of regular IPA is the use of parentheses around the phonation diacritics to indicate partial phonation; a single parenthesis at the left or right of the voicing indicates that it is partially phonated at the beginning or end of the segment. These conventions may be convenient for representing various voice onset times . Phonation diacritics may also be prefixed or suffixed to represent relative timing beyond

1640-456: The velar lateral affricate [k͜𝼄] , but with less frication); ⟨ d𐞚 ⟩ is [d] with lateral-plus-central release. Combining diacritics can be added to superscript diacritics, such as ⟨ tʰ̪͆ ⟩ for [t] with bidental aspiration. The VoQS (voice-quality symbols) take IPA and extIPA diacritics, as well as several additional diacritics that are potentially available for extIPA transcription. The subscript dot for 'whisper'

1681-767: The world, preaspiration occurs in Halh Mongolian , Western Yugur , and in several American indigenous languages , including dialects of Hopi , Purepecha , and many languages of the Algonquian family (such as Cheyenne , Cree , Ojibwe , Fox , and Miami-Illinois ). In certain accents, such as Geordie (among younger women) Watt & Allen (2003 :268) and in some speakers of Dublin English word- and utterance-final /p, t, k/ can be preaspirated. Some examples of preaspirated plosives and affricates from Faroese (where they occur only after stressed vowels): Furthermore,
