assimilation和coarticulation的區別

Question

我想請問語言學裡assimilation和articulation的區別在哪裡？

它們的意思是不是有互相重疊呢？

例如像nasalization和palatalization算是哪一個呢？

希望有人能為我解答，能有例子更好喔！

內容打錯了，是coarticulation

Assimilation的定義:

PHONOLOGY/PHONETICS: a process in which one or more segments become adapted in one or more aspects to a neighbouring segment.

Assimilation依照上面的定義，指的就是音韻學裡面的同化現象，因為鄰近的音位的影響，而帶有與其相同的屬性，而產生局部同化(partial assimilation)，或是被完全同化(total assimilation)。

舉例一: partial assimilation—nasalization(鼻音化現象)

法文: bon 裡面的母音o，受到後面鼻音的影響，所以，成為鼻音化的母音，bo~ ( ~的符號應該在o上面)。

舉例二: partial assimilation—palatalization (顎化現象)

定義: a process, i.e. assimilation of place of articulation, in which the place of obstruction shifts towards the hard palate.

日文: ta / ti / tu / te / to --> ta / chi / tsu / te / to

日文五十音裡面的t 這組的符號表，原本應該是 ta/ ti/ tu /te /to 裡面 ti 的子音/t/，受到後面palatal vowel /i/的影響，產生了顎化現象，變成了 /ch/。

舉例三:

total assimilation: 否定的 in-成了ir- 或是 il-，因為受到了後方因為的完全同化影響。(英文)

in-: consistent / in-consistent

ir- : regular / ir-regular

il- : legal / il-legal

(附註: im- : possible / im-possible 則為部分同化。)

Coarticulation的定義:

依據Wikipedia的解釋(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coarticulation)

Coarticulation in phonetics refers to two different phenomena:

i) the assimilation of the place of articulation of one speech sound to that of an adjacent speech sound. For example, while the sound /n/ of English normally has an alveolar place of articulation, in the word tenth it is pronounced with a dental place of articulation because the following sound, /θ/, is dental.

ii) the production of a coarticulated consonant, that is, a consonant with two simultaneous places of articulation. An example of such a sound is the voiceless labial-velar plosive /k͡p/ found in many West African languages.

Coarticulation可以指涉到兩種現象:

第一個現象指的就是assimilation。第二則指的是同時將兩個鄰近的音位一併發音，關於進一步的例子，可參考http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coarticulated_consona...
