• Effect of emphasis spread on coronal stop articulation in Qatari Arabic 

      Kulikov, Vladimir; Mohsenzadeh, Fatemeh; Syam, Rawand ( Linguistic Society of America , 2020 , Conference Proceedings)
      Emphasis (contrastive uvularisation) in Arabic spreads from an emphatic consonant to neighboring segments (Davis1995). The effect of emphasis spread on a consonant is manifested as lowering of its spectral mean (Jongman ...
    • Effect of emphasis spread on VOT in coronal stops in Qatari Arabic 

      Kulikov, Vladimir; Mohsenzadeh, Fatemeh M.; Syam, Rawand M. ( Cambridge University Press , 2021 , Article)
      Emphasis (contrastive pharyngealization of coronals) in Arabic spreads from an emphatic consonant to neighboring segments. Previous research suggests that in addition to changing spectral characteristics of adjacent segments, ...
    • Generational Changes in VOT in Qatari Arabic 

      Kulikov, Vladimir; Al-Hajri, Najlla; Al-Kuwari, Buthaina ( John Benjamins Publishing Company , 2023 , Book chapter)
      The current study investigates variation in production of VOT in voiceless stops in Qatari Arabic. In line with Labov’s Cascade model, longer VOT in this dialect might be viewed as a new variable developing in the metropolitan ...
    • Voice and Emphasis in Arabic Coronal Stops: Evidence for Phonological Compensation 

      Kulikov, Vladimir ( SAGE , 2021 , Article)
      The current study investigates multiple acoustic cues–voice onset time (VOT), spectral center of gravity (SCG) of burst, pitch (F0), and frequencies of the first (F1) and second (F2) formants at vowel onset—associated with ...
