Factor analyses were performed on the power fluctuations of British English
derived through critical band filters as in Ueda and Nakajima [(2008). JASA, 123, 3163.].
Factor scores of the first three factors
were presented as functions of time for each phoneme.
Factor scores at temporal centers of phonemes
showed similar tendencies in one male speaker and two female speakers.
Sonorants and obstruents had clearly different factor score distributions.
We suggest a new phonological rule that
consonant clusters at syllable onsets are connected with a one-way movement
along a ``sonority'' path identified in the factor score space.
This rule may be able to resolve a theoretical obstacle
when we introduce the traditional concept of sonority in order
to understand syllable formation. |
