We investigated the mechanisms of vowel epenthesis in consonant clusters using electromagnetic articulograph (EMA). Results showed that tongue tip displacement from first consonant to second consonant was larger and takes longer moving time for Japanese subjects than for a German subject. These results suggest that Japanese, whose language has no consonant clusters, did not prepare for the next consonant when they articulated the first consonant in a consonant cluster. In contrast, German, whose language has rich variety of consonant clusters, prepared for a next consonant during the first one in a consonant cluster. In other words, coarticulation is weaker for Japanese speakers than German. Moreover, these results suggested that vowel epenthesis in consonant clusters arose from multiple factors, larger tongue tip movement from first to second consonant and mistiming of vocal cords vibration. |
