The article is devoted to the regional peculiarities of the spoken Russian language. The problem is considered in the context of the Republic of Kalmykia. The relevance of the topic is determined by the dynamics of the linguistic situation in the Republic, caused by the influence of the socio-cultural realities of our time. The peculiarity of the linguistic situation in the region is associated with the dominance of the Russian language in all social spheres and with the tendency, indicated in the recent years, towards the national-regional component activating. The main background of spoken words is the Russian vocabulary, commonly in use. The local speech is provided with a certain groups of words that are thematically outlined by the sphere 'man and environment', and the Kalmyk morphemes, words, expressions and whole phrases, whose frequency of use depends on some subjective parameters of a speaker, his emotional state, and a situation of communication. In the Russian language used by the older Kalmyks, lexical-semantic, phonetic, morphological and syntactic interference is vivid, since the dominance is given to their native language. The younger generation is represented with the Russian-language speakers, the carriers of the Kalmyk national character and communicative behavior. The national etiquette phrases, family terms and phraseology can be used occasionally to create the national atmosphere and express emotions. Speech, being an instrument of human knowledge, carries the important information about the epoch and people living in different times. The case introduced here will discuss the modern Republic of Kalmykia.

2025, Gwara i kultura w słowie zapisane. Księga jubileuszowa dedykowana Profesorowi Józefowi Kąsiowi

W artykule przedstawiono różnice w zasobie leksykalnym, uchwyconym w XIX-wiecznym Słowniku Andrzeja Cinciały, w stosunku do słownictwa zarejestrowanego we współczesnych słownikach gwarowych Śląska Cieszyńskiego. Sprowadzają się one do czterech głównych typów: (1) wynikających ze zmian w świecie przedstawionym, (2) ze zmniejszenia się wpływu języka czeskiego w polskiej części Śląska Cieszyńskiego a wzrostu wpływu w części czeskiej i zanikania wpływów niemieckich na całym terytorium, (3) z dużej dynamiki słownictwa ekspresywnego oraz (4) ze zmniejszenia się liczby jednostek w polach leksykalno-semantycznych w przypadku zanikających leksemów.
Zarejestrowany w ten sposób proces zmian dowodzi, że dialekt, jak każdy żywy język, podlega ciągłym zmianom, co niekoniecznie oznacza jego zanik czy upadek.

"A szollásban-is sok rut illetlenségek vagynak, mellyek-is ez okbol származtak, hogy senki a' szóknak tulajdonságikat fel nem keresi, sem azokat a' több nyelvekhez, és ezen nyelvbéli hasonló szollásokhoz, nem alkalmaztatja, hanem tsak kiki a' mint tsetsemö korában szollni tanult, öreg-korában-is ugy szoll; melly miatt ez az ékes, és bölts nyelv igen meg-otrombúlt, és elparasztúlt." (Geleji Katona István, 1645) Előadásom elméleti célja, hogy a nyelvi változás és az írott nyelv kapcsolatrendszerének egy kevéssé tárgyalt vetületére hívja föl a figyelmet, gyakorlati haszna pedig talán az lehet, hogy egy több kutató által stabil váltakozásnak tekintett nyelvi jelenség több évszázadon átívelő fönnmaradását indokolni tudjuk. Az írott és beszélt nyelv, valamint a nyelvi változások kapcsolatát tárgyalván elsőként mindig az jut eszünkbe, hogy a nyelvi változás a beszédből indul, az írott nyelvi közeg pedig konzerválja a nyelvi változás előtti állapotokat. Ugyanakkor Benkő Loránd a nyelvi változások kérdéseit tárgyaló tankönyvében (1987: 237) figyelmeztet egy különleges változástípusra: az írott nyelvnek a beszélt nyelvre gyakorolt hatásáról ír abban a fejezetben, amely Az írás szerepe a nyelv történetében címet viseli. Az írott nyelv szerepét legfőképpen a nyelvi standardok kiformálódásában véli bemutathatónak. Emlékeztet arra (241), hogy az írott nyelv tekintélye növekedésével párhuzamosan egyre nagyobb hatást gyakorol a beszélt nyelvre, és hogy bizonyos, időrendiségükben másodlagos mai szóbeli ejtésmódok a régi írott nyelvnek köszönhetők. Magyar nyelvtörténeti példája ennek a régi írott Zala földrajzi névnek a Szala ejtés ellenében mára már kizárólagossá vált Zala ejtésmódja (241), vagy az általa rohamosan terjedőnek tekintett, kiejtésünkben jól észlelhető, az írásképhez közelítő jelenségek, mint például az egyszer szó egyszer ejtése a korábbinak tekintett eccer rovására, vagy a kisebb szónak íráskép szerinti ejtése. Az írott nyelvi jelölés szerinti ejtést, azaz a "szóban lévő befolyásolási irány legjellemzőbb tünetét, a betűejtést" e helyütt említi, mint olyan tényezőt, amely a szavak íráskép szerinti ejtését hozza vissza a beszédfolyamatokban már megváltozott szóalakváltozatok rovására. Ebben a folyamatban kulcsszerepe van az írott nyelv magas társadalmi tekintélyének: ennek következtében ugyanis a beszélő azt hiszi, hogy akkor beszél szépen, ha az írott nyelvet követi szóbeli megnyilatkozásaiban. Előföltevésem az, hogy talán akaratukon kívül, de hasonló úton jártak a nyelvi sztenderdizációs folyamatokban fontos szerepet játszó régi nyelvtaníróink is. Az inessivusi -ban/-ben ragban megjelenő nyelvi váltakozást vizsgálva arra a kérdésre keresem a választ, hogy miként maradhattak fönn, sőt válhattak a szóbeliségben presztízsváltozattá olyan nyelvi megoldások, amelyeket -véleményem szerint -brought to you by CORE View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk

2025, West meets East: Papers in historical lexicography and lexicology from across the globe

The coexistence of three languages in England during the post-Conquest period led to a complex multilingual situation. The fact that Middle English, Anglo-French, and Latin showed mutual borrowing and shared lexis as a result of multilingual practices makes them difficult to handle from a lexicographic perspective. Starting from the assumption that "monolingual lexicography in a multilingual environment does not work" (Trotter 2000a: 4), this paper illustrates the issues related to the treatment of these languages in the three major historical dictionaries and advocates the compilation of a multilingual dictionary, which would be able to provide a more accurate perspective of the linguistic situation of the time. The problems and implications connected to the designing of such a long-needed resource are tackled and some methodological proposals are presented by taking into consideration two existing databases which treat specific lexical domains related to everyday life in medieval England from a multilingual perspective. The aim of this contribution is to urge further research on the possible ways to reproduce the fuzziness of language boundaries in the post-Conquest period in order to make the compilation of a multilingual dictionary of the languages of medieval England an attainable goal.

The present study offers a descriptive examination of the Arabic phoneme /r/, renowned for its intricate and diverse nature within the Arabic phonological system. This research investigates the varied manifestations of the phoneme /r/ in different regional dialects, with a specific emphasis on its pronunciation in the initial, middle, and final positions of words. The paper's significance is rooted in its contribution to the comprehension of the Arabic /r/ phoneme, a multifaceted and diverse sound within Arabic phonological systems. The paper illuminates the phonetic variability of the /r/ by analyzing its distinct manifestations across diverse Arabic dialects and regions. This can potentially facilitate language acquisition and instruction. The investigation conducted by the authors pertains to the marked and unmarked characteristics of the phonological /r/ in Arabic. The population under investigation comprises a randomly selected group of Arabic-speaking individuals aged 18 years and older, encompassing both genders and hailing from diverse countries and regions. The study employs a descriptiveanalytical methodology, utilizing a unique features matrix and the Audacity Sound Recording and Analysis Application to examine the gathered data. The findings of the research enhance the comprehension of the phonetic variability that typifies the Arabic /r/ phoneme and elucidate its manifestation in diverse contexts and geographical locations. Furthermore, the outcomes of this investigation hold significance for the domain of language education and acquisition, and the techniques utilized were designed to guarantee the precision and dependability of the gathered information.

The study examined five characteristics of the Khorasani Group of Persian Dialects distinguishing it from the Afghan-Tajiki group. These characteristics consist of two phonetic and two morphological features as well as one relating to prepositions. Though not representing all the distinguishing features between the groups, they have been singled out by the researcher as some most stable characteristics. The study used a wide range of sources, including field research and numerous works of Russian, Western, Iranian, Tajiki and Afghan authors. The texts (legends and stories about everyday issues) in the Herat dialect, which were obtained as a result of the author's field work in Afghanistan, were collected from illiterate and poorly literate speakers of the said dialect. Due to the lack of education, these people were not influenced by the Kabul dialect or the language, and they kept their native dialect in the purest form. This research proved that the discussed features are among the main features that distinguish Khorasani Persian dialects group from Afghani-Tajik group.

Il lessico delle parlate ciacave di Brazza (Brač) è molto ricco, e oltre alle parole dell`inventario lessicale proto-slavo, vi è un piccolo gruppo di germanismi, alcuni lessemi di origine orientale, qualche ungarismo, e numerosi sono i lessemi di provenienza romanza. I romanismi nelle parlate ciacave di Brazza (Brač) sono ancora oggi di uso frequente, specialmente tra la popolazione anziana. In base alle nuove ricerche sul campo, gli autori di questo articolo hanno deciso di presentare e di analizzare i nomi di dolci di origine romanza nella parlata di Neresi (Nerežišća) sull'isola di Brazza (Brač).

The current research is a semantic analysis of verses from Mevlana’s Divan-eKabir due to the lexicon and phrases edition, and syntactic relationships in the verses. The mentioned verses in the article, are difficult ones of Mevlana’s poetry, which have created a big challenge for both the commentators and the translators, who have been editor themselves. Even these translators have not been able to find a suitable equivalent for some verses. First, these verses have been studied from the perspective of authenticity of manuscripts according to the manuscripts used by professor Farozanfar in edition of Divan-e-Kabir and 4 authentic new versions. Then the reflection of the incorrect edition of these verses in the interpretations and translations of Arberry and Nicholson has been studied. The mentioned verses are studied under the title "Effect of edition on translation". Then the verses that the translators have not been able to analyze correctly in the source language and have provided an inappropriate equivalent in the target language have been discussed, under the title "Translation based on a misapprehension of the text." In both titles, the effect of incorrect edition on the understanding of commentators and translators is obvious. Therefore, it has been tried to present the original form of these verses to the readers

This study investigates the manifestation of the high front rounded vowel [y] in Modern Greek dialects. It comprises two parts: (a) a diachronic-historical part, which traces the development of the vowel throughout the history of Greek, and (b) an experimental part, which analyzes the acoustic properties of [y] as it appears in audio recordings. The recordings (narratives, dialogues, and interviews) were from three female speakers from Aegina and Kymi, aged 60 and above. Acoustic measurements included the first, second, and third formants (F1, F2, and F3). Results indicated that the vowel is articulated in a more central position in the vowel space, as evidenced by lower F2 values compared to the high front /i/. Additionally, the lower F3 values support the presence of a rounded realization [y] in Modern Greek dialects, at least up to the period covered by the available audio material.

Arabana has a three-way rhotic phoneme contrast: /r/ (alveolar trill) vs /ɾ/ (alveolar tap) vs /ɻ/ (retroflex continuant). The rhotic contrasts are prosodically restricted in Arabana. The triple contrast only appears following the tonic vowel, which is the first vowel. In other onset positions /ɻ/ is contrastive, but there is no /r/ vs /ɾ/ contrast. There is no contrast in coda positions. We undertook the first-ever production study of Arabana rhotics. Recorded audio materials were independently coded in PRAAT by two trained transcribers. We found the following allophony: /r/ [r, ɾ, ɹ]; /ɾ/ [ɾ, ɹ], /ɻ/ [ɻ]. The /r/ vs /ɾ/ contrast is thus negatively determined, /r/ permits [r] realizations, but /ɾ/ does not. The commonest realization of both /r/ and /ɾ/ is [ɹ]. The phoneme in neutralized coda position is /r/. The high degree of overlap in realizations between /r/ and /ɾ/ accords with reported perception difficulties.

This paper studies morphological variation of second inflectional class passive imperfect verbs in Modern Greek with the aim to provide a description of speakers' preferences towards particular forms on the basis of authentic data coming from a large corpus of Modern Greek (Greek Web 2019), as well as questionnaires administered to students. All third person (singular and plural) morphologically alternative types of six verbs, belonging to different frequency bands (θeoˈrume, apoteˈlume, ekteˈlume, ekseˈrume, δjaforopiˈume and aksiopiˈume) were identified through corpus analysis. The quantitative analysis of corpus data indicated the presence of multiple competitive variants for the 3rd singular person, among which -undan is the dominant form, as well as a clear trend towards the restriction of variation in the 3rd person plural. At the same time, questionnaires suggested the potential of the more recent suffix -utan for the 3rd singular person, which is more transparent than the standard -undan. Apart from the description of morphological variation in passive imperfect, this paper stresses the need to combine different methodologies for a multifaceted analysis of the linguistic phenomenon in question.

This article discusses some of the older elements of the Aegean Theory for the Origin of the Alphabet and more particularly the so called "Palamedes Signature". It is very clear, even from a cursory perspective that the proto-alphabet was not some random evolutionary process but an invention encompassing certain parameters, specifically the five Aegean vowels separated by 3, 4, 5 and 6 consonants (Palamedes Signature). More particularly, here I examine the relationship between this structure and astronomical considerations of the Bronze Age. As the product of 3, 4, 5 and 6 is 360, representing a perfect cycle and adding 5 results in a good approximation of a heliacal year, while subtracting 5 gives of course a good approximation of the lunar year. It seems clear that the inventor wanted to embody this knowledge, or at least the first part, passing the message of the heliacal cycle in the very structure of the proto-alphabet or Dorian Alphabet. Needless to say, the Bronze Age Aegean had very advanced astronomical knowledge, incorporated in various artifacts and the alphabetical reformation confirms this, unlike the idea that the Aegeaid was a cultural and scientific backwater that needed to be illuminated form the East. It is in fact tempting to consider the probability that the inventor did not just plan an organome to synthesize and accommodate the linguistic needs of both Aegean and Semitic tongues, as I have previously suggested but he also wanted to synthesize the beliefs on the primacy of celestial bodies of the different areas, most importantly the Sun and the Moon in the number of days of their respective years.

In addition to the existing classification of dictionaries, it is proposed to distinguish the non-classification type of lexicographic works – «cultural code keeper dictionary» – on the basis of the sociolinguistic characteristic identifying the role of dictionaries in the formation of identity of large and small groups. An example of such a work is «An Etymological Dictionary of the Norn Language in Shetland» by the Danish linguist J. Jacobsen.

Аннотация. Статья посвящена историко-лингвистическому освещению тех черт старожильческого говора села Русское Устье (Аллаиховский район Якутии), которые географически и / или генетически имеют отношение к Великому Новгороду и древненовгородскому диалекту. Автор анализирует значительный ряд русскоустьинско-новгородских языковых схождений на уровнях фонетики, морфологии, синтаксиса, фразеологии, нарицательной и ономастической лексики. Рассматриваемые языковые особенности распространились в говорах Севера Европейской России благодаря древненовгородской колонизации XI-XVI вв. На северо-восток Якутии они попали преимущественно из региона Архангельского Поморья в XVII в.

A synonymous placement of words in present-day thesauri can be reconstructed to become a relevant object of diachronic onomasiology. In a historical sense present-day synonyms were attested at specified moments in the string’s diachrony and at a given succession over time on the imposed condition of inventory sameness. A possible method of studying this problem may lie in the sum total of deductions between the ordinal positions of elements in the contemporary string and its historical counterpart. As English provides a dated diachronic textual prototype for any lexical item in its first attested, as well as other, meaning(s), owing to the textual corpus of the OED, a better fitting model for this task is a vector space model. It distinguishes the relative and absolute chronologies of diachronically reshuffled present-day strings. The similarity measure between the present-day string and its diachronic permutation then consists in the difference between the lengths of the obtained vec-tors. These reflect contemporary (fragmentary, or, eventually, all) and the corresponding period, if set so, we-ight placements of the given constituents. The developed framework allows for data-driven exemplification as well as distributional visualization. The methodology is deemed to be applicable to multiple lexicographic sources of verbal synonymy. The data is combined with the OED-obtained composition of de-verbal families.

Tsakonia is a region in Greece, situated within the borders of the modern municipalities of North and South Kynouria. The local population speaks a distinct language, Tsakonian, which is believed to have evolved from Ancient Doric. From the 1st to the 17th century, there was a dearth of knowledge regarding the region. While Byzantine sources make brief mention of Tsakonia and the Tzacones or Tzecones [Τζάκωνες/Τζέκωνες], an elite Byzantine military unit, there are no descriptions of the local landscape, people, or language. In the 17th century, travellers began to visit Tsakonia, recording their observations in writing. These accounts, which range from admiration of the region’s healthy air and robust population to ridicule of the local attire, provide insight into the perceptions of Tsakonia held by these visitors. In the present paper, I will examine various ravel descriptions of Tsakonia, including those by Pausanias (Ancient Greek), Evliya Çelebi (Ottoman), William Martin Leake (English), and Jean-Baptiste Gaspard d’Ansse de Villoison and François-René de Chateaubriand (French). In addition to these primary sources, I will also examine a few minor mentions, including those by Martin Crusius and Bernard Randolph. My aim is to shed light on the perception of Tsakonia, particularly on the concept of ‘Tsakonia’ itself and on the travelers’ observations regarding the region’s geography, the character of its people and language.

lastradas en gran parte aún por presupuestos románticos, ha primado hasta hace muy poco el estudio de las épocas de orígenes o de mayor esplendor literario (en el caso del español, el Siglo de Oro), por lo que ha dejado de lado el estudio de etapas tachadas como menos brillantes en la historia literaria o las épocas consideradas aún cercanas al siglo XIX en el que nace la disciplina científica diacrónica (cfr. Várvaro 1972(cfr. Várvaro -1973)). Ello explica que el siglo XVIII, considerado como arranque del español moderno 1 , no se estudiara quizá suficientemente, debido a ser una época literaria apenas 1. Así, tanto para LAPESA (1981: 418), como para CANO (1988: 255), el español moderno comienza con el siglo XVIII. Así mismo en la última historia de la lengua española, la coordinada por Rafael , subyace la idea de que el español moderno (al que se dedica la octava parte del volumen) empieza en el mismo siglo XVIII, lo que explica tanto el resumen de la historia de la Real Academia Española (LÓPEZ MORALES, 2004) como el panorama de las regulaciones legales sobre el español desde el siglo XVIII . Del mismo modo, Francisco MORENO FERNÁNDEZ (2004) estudia los cambios fónicos y, aunque se centra en el español contemporáneo, da leves notas sobre la historia de los distintos fenómenos desde 1700. NARBONA (2004: 1014) reproduce la idea de Cano (1988: 255) de que el español ya ha alcanzado estabilidad morfosintáctica con el siglo XVIII, de ahí que su estudio realmente describa problemas de cambio gramatical en el español sin reparar en su historia desde el siglo XVIII. En cambio, ÁLVAREZ DE MIRANDA (2004) traza una brillante historia, aunque necesaria y confesadamente incompleta, del léxico del español desde el siglo XVIII al XX. Por otra parte,

estudió estadísticamente la distribución de los primeros documentos de textos románicos, especialmente la Italorromania (cf. Holtus 2000), incluidos en el Inventaire systématique des premiers documents des langues romanes (Frank/Hartmann 1997). Con este estudio se ha demostrado que más de la mitad de los documentos conservados, desde los orígenes hasta 1250, proceden de la Galorromania (francés, provenzal, francoprovenzal), un tercio de los documentos corresponde a la Iberorromania, y sólo una mínima parte a la Italorromania, al sardo, al portugués y al retorrománico (el rumano no se toma en consideración). Detalladamente se observa el siguiente resultado:

The monograph focuses on various sentence structures in St Euthymius of Turnovo’s eulogies and hagiographical writings. The syntactic and stylistic analysis is based on the original division into phrasal units which are termed gigaphrasis, megaphrasis, macrophrasis and microphrasis. While reviewing the scholarly literature on the literary style called “pletenie sloves” (weaving of words) the author puts forward her own hypothesis of this style. She examines the punctuation of the respective medieval manuscripts with the help of Louis Hjelmslev’s general linguistic theory and deduces the rules lain in the implicit system of the writings under consideration. She points out the main syntactic characteristics of Euthymius’s style concerning the length of the phrasis, of the word order of dissociated related sentence parts and of the predicativity; the specifics of this style are further elucidated by the term “still predicativity.” The main principle of text organisation is revealed: the structuring of the text is supported by formal, punctuation, rhetoric and rhythmical determinants as well as by dativus absolutus (a phrasal indicator) and by references to the Bible (as metaphrasal indicator). It is then brought to light that the weaving (pletenie) is present not only on the level of phrasis but also on the level of metaphrasis. In the rhetorical aspect it is shown that St Euthymius uses figurae known as early as in the Antiquity; it is also demonstrated that the rhetorical techniques of simile and ploce (pletenie) are closely linked to Hesychasm (upon which it is discussed in a separate part of the first chapter).

Language change is an inevitable and natural phenomenon, and address terms (ATs) in Egyptian Colloquial Arabic (ECA) are no exception. This study explored how 40 commonly used ATs have changed over time. It relied on historical data from Spitta (1880, 1883), Spiro (1895, 1923), Parkinson (1985), and Hinds & Badawi (1986), along with responses from a Google Forms questionnaire completed by 60 participants. The results show that the main type of change is semantic broadening, where the meanings of ATs have expanded to include more inclusive and versatile uses. This linguistic shift is influenced by cultural values that focus on solidarity rather than hierarchy, and the breakdown of class barriers, especially following the 1952 Revolution, creating a more equal system of address. By highlighting the interplay between language and society, the study offers valuable insights for educators and language professionals aiming to develop culturally relevant and effective teaching materials.

: In this article, I examine the issue of the tendencies to adapt the orthographic system of the Church Slavonic language in the Bulgarian literary practice that dates back to the 1830s. Special attention is paid to the changes in the acoustic features of given graphemes, as well as to the differentiated functions of the doublet letters regarding the specificities of the Bulgarian language. Specifically, I argue that the results of such an examination can contribute to reconstructing the spoken variety of the Bulgarian literary language from the period above.

This pilot study compares and analyzes the acoustic characteristics of soft bilabial plosives in the speech of representatives of Eastern and Western Bulgarian dialects. Six acoustic parameters follow the CVC syllable structure. The results show that there is a notable difference in the consonant duration and the F 2 transition duration between the Eastern and Western types of articulation. The paper confirms that consonant duration, F 2 onset, F 2 offset and F 2 transition duration are informative enough to differentiate between Eastern and Western types of soft consonants on the one hand, and soft consonants and non-palatalized consonants on the other hand.

Euskal Herrian egin lehenbizikiko inkesta geo-linguistikoak 1806.etik 1811.a arteko urteetan obratu ziren,l karia horretara bi dokumentu mota bildu baitziren: euskararen nolakotasunaren itxuratzeko balia zitezkeenak, aIde batetik, eta. euskararen mugen finkatzeko on zirenak, beste aldetik. Lehenbizikoak direnaz bezainbatean, gauza guti bildu zen oro-har, eta poxi hura kasik osorik ipar aldean: San Luken araberako haur ontasun barreiatzailearen parabolaren bi itzulpen, hitz laxozko lerroaldi labur bat, eta bi bertsu andana, denak jadanik argitaratuak (Oyhar<;abal 1992b). Bigarren motako dokumentuei dagokienaz, berriz, euskararen mugez egin lehen mapak aipatzekoak dira (Oyhar<;abal 1992a), bai eta hemen argitaratzen ditugun gutunak, hain zuzen ere erran mapak berak ere dokumentu horien arabera eratuak izan baitziren. Eugene Coquebert de Montbret-en inkesta Ez daiteke 1806-1812.eko inkesta hori aipa, lehenik haren egileaz, edo, hobeki errateko, haren eragileaz edo kudeatzaileaz bi hitz erran gabe. (1) Zehazkiago mintza gaitezen. Coquebert-ek bere inkesta biclean eman baino hogei eta bost bat urte lehenago, Gregoire apez iraultzaile famacuak ere beste bat egin zuen Franrzian. Parre handienean publikaruak izan dira Gregoirek bildu dokumentuak (Gazier 1880; de Certeau, Julia eta Revel 1975), baina libucu horien arabera deus ez baitzen agertzen Euskal Herriko hizkunrza egoerari zegokionik, berrikitan hurbil-hurbiletik miatu dicut Gregoireren paperak, bai Pariseko Biblioreka Nazionalekoak, bai eta Societe de Port-Royal delakoaren bibliotekakoak ere. Itxura guzrien arabera ez zuen Gregoirek eranrzunik harru Euskal Herritik. Haren paperetan agertzen den Euskal Herriari buruzko dokumentu bakarra, 1794ean Dithurbidek hari igorri gurun bat da, interesanra segurki, baina inkestari ez zegokiona; Gazier-k argitara eman zuen gutun hura (1880: 158-161).

This case study describes lingual articulatory strategies for French [ʁ] as it pertains to a monolingual, native speaker of French, and two English-Spanish bilinguals, learners of French as their third language (L3). We tracked movements of the tongue using electromagnetic articulography (EMA) in order to investigate inter-speaker differences involving rhotic production in wordinitial and final positions. Curve trajectories were compared using generalized additive models (GAMs). Findings indicate active involvement of tongue tip in rhotic articulation, native speaker included. Raising of tongue dorsum in language learners points towards a velar constriction, not uvular. Varying articulation strategies by language learners are interpreted as an indication of language interference. Duration differences and curve complexity as indices of native-like degree of coarticulation were closely linked to the learner's amount of exposure to the target language.
