DescriptionFrom the introduction of the paper:
This paper presents a phonological analysis of the distribution of laryngeal features in Ja’a Kumiai, a Yuman language spoken in Baja California, Mexico. Previous studies on other closely related Yuman languages have described a high degree of variation and optionality in the realization of laryngeal segments (glottal stops) in their phonological systems, but few studies provide acoustic data. One exception is found in the phonological analysis of a closely related variety, San José de la Zorra Kumiai by Gil Burgoin (2016). Gil Burgoin’s instrumental data confirms there is a high degree of variability in the realization of laryngeal segments, and accounts for the distribution and realization of laryngeal articulations by the presence of two distinct laryngeal features in the phonological inventory. This paper contributes to the phonological documentation of Yuman languages based on the acoustic analysis of original data collected through field research.
