    • 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 ...

    • Laryngeal Contrast in Qatari Arabic: Effect of Speaking Rate on Voice Onset Time 

      Kulikov, Vladimir ( S. Karger AG , 2019 , Article)
      Beckman and colleagues claimed in 2011 that Swedish has an overspecified phonological contrast between prevoiced and voiceless aspirated stops. Yet, Swedish is the only language for which this pattern has been reported. ...

    • Laryngeal realism and the voicing contrast in Khuzestani Arabic stops 

      Bahrani, Nawal; Kulikov, Vladimir ( Cambridge University Press , 2023 , Article)
      In laryngeal realism (LR), laryngeal specification of stops is explained by direct maps of cues (e.g. VOT) onto privative phonological laryngeal features [voice] or [spread glottis]. Phonetic realization of the segments ...

    • Muslim personal names in Urdu: Structure, meaning, and change 

      Ahmad, Rizwan; Kulikov, Vladimir; Iqbal, Noorin ( De Gruyter , 2023 , Article)
      Based on an analysis of a corpus, in this study we examine: (a) the linguistic structure of Muslim personal names, (b) their etymological sources, and (c) some changing patterns among the younger generation. Firstly, we ...

    • 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 ...

    • Voicing in Qatari Arabic: Evidence for prevoicing and aspiration 

      Kulikov, Vladimir ( Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press) , 2016 , Conference Paper)
      Languages with a two-way voicing contrast in phonology usually contrast prevoiced b, d, g stops with voiceless unaspirated p, t, k stops or voiceless unaspirated stops with voiceless aspirated stops (Iverson & Salmons, ...

    • The vowel system of Qatari Arabic: Evidence for peripheral/non-peripheral distinction between long and short vowels 

      Al-Mazrouei, Aisha; Negm, Aisha; Kulikov, Vladimir ( Cambridge University Press , 2023 , Article)
      Arabic has a vowel system with three long and three short monophthongs. One of the parameters that accounts for qualitative differences between long and short vowels across languages is tenseness/laxness of vowels located ...
