A glottalized tone in Muong (Vietic): a pilot study based on audio and electroglottographic recordings
Un ton glottalisé en muong (viétique) : étude pilote à partir d'enregistrements audio et électroglottographiques
Résumé
The combination of pitch and glottalization (glottal constriction or lapse into creaky voice) as relevant phonetic/phonological dimensions of lexical tone is found in several language families in Asia. The Vietic subbranch of Austroasiatic stands out in that all its languages have at least one glottalized tone. Vietnamese is a well documented example, but the others remain little studied. The research reported here contributes experimental evidence on one of these languages: Muong (Mường). Excerpts from a database of audio and electroglottographic recordings of twenty speakers allow for a characterization of this dialect's glottalized tone, as contrasted with the four other tones of this five tone system. The ultimate goal is to determine what (sub)types of glottalized tones exist in the world's languages, bringing out typological differences in terms of (i) phonetic realizations and (ii) degree of importance of glottalization as a feature of linguistic tones.
La combinaison de la hauteur et de la glottalisation (constriction glottale ou passage à une voix craquée) en tant que dimensions phonético-phonologiques pertinentes du ton lexical s’observe dans plusieurs familles linguistiques d’Asie. La sous-branche viétique de la famille austroasiatique se distingue par le fait que toutes ses langues possèdent au moins un ton glottalisé. Le vietnamien en est un exemple bien documenté, mais les autres langues de cette sous-branche restent peu étudiées. La recherche présentée ici apporte des données expérimentales sur un dialecte de l’une de ces langues : le muong (Mường). L’exploitation d’extraits d’une base de données d’enregistrements audio et électroglottographiques de vingt locuteurs permet de caractériser le ton glottalisé de ce dialecte, par opposition aux quatre autres tons de ce système qui en comporte cinq. Au-delà de la description de ce parler, l’objectif à terme est de déterminer quels (sous-)types de tons glottalisés existent dans les langues du monde, en mettant en évidence les différences typologiques tant au niveau des réalisations phonétiques qu’au niveau du degré d’importance de la glottalisation en tant que caractéristique des tons linguistiques.
