DiLiS, Atelier "Origins of Linguistic Diversity"

The Russian phonetic inventory is particularly interesting due to its complex phonetics and rich fricative inventory: there are at least 12 fricatives, at four places of articulation /f, s, S, x/, with voicing /v, z, Z/ and palatalization /f’, v’, s’, S’ z’/ contrasts, offering thus a wide range of possibilities for the investigation of fricatives. Even though, a full typological documentation of Russian fricatives is absent in the literature. Furthermore, it is in general not clear yet, how fricatives can be characterized and distinguished, while for example vowels and stop consonant could be described according to their formants and voice onset time, distinct properties if fricatives are highly debated. Based on an own collected database on Russian fricatives in 2018 in St. Petersburg, we will present three studies: i) Identifying Russian voiceless fricatives /f, s, S/ using Machine Learning, ii) Description on Russian fricative contrast of place of articulation, voicing and palatalization, and iii) within- and inter-individual differences in fricatives.
