[õ] sudurkarituaren igoera ekialdeko euskalkietan
Abstract
Lan honetan euskarazko /o/ erdiko atzeko bokalaren igoera aztertzen da. Bilakabide hau fonetikokisudurkarituriko [õ]-ren igoera bezala deskriba daitekeela proposatuko da. Hots-eredu hau batez erezubereran eta erronkarieren garatu zen, nahiz eta ekialdeko beste euskalkietan ere aurki daitekeen.Hots aldaketa hau sudurkaritasunaren berezko anbiguotasun fonetikoaren bitartez azaltzeaproposatuko da, ambigutasun hau F1-en eremuan “formante sudurkariak” gehitzeak eragiten duela.Laburbilduz, lan honek deskribapen fonologikoak erraz azaltzen ez duen baina fonetikoki arazorikgabe azal daitekeen hots-eredu bat aurkezten du, fonetikaren garrantzia ikerketa historiko etafonologikoan azpimarratzen delarik.
In this paper I analyze the raising of the mid back vowel /o/ in Basque. I will propose that thisprocess is more accurately described as raising of phonetically nasalized [õ]. This sound pattern isprimarily found in Zuberoan and Roncalese, although it is present, to a lesser degree, in other easternBasque dialects. This sound change is accounted for by means of the phonetic ambiguity in vowelheight inherent to nasalization. This ambiguity is caused by the addition of “nasal formants” to theF1 space. In short, this paper analyzes a sound pattern that cannot be easily accounted for by meansof phonological description but is straightforwardly explained in phonetic terms, emphasizing theimportance of phonetics in historical and phonological research.
