Isi artikel

This article reports on a phonetic investigation of Tlingit, the principal indigenous language of Southeast Alaska, based on fieldwork with several speakers in Juneau. A general survey of the consonant, vowel, and tone systems is given. Special attention is devoted to the manners of production of the stop consonants of the language and the distribution of aspiration. The rarely encountered distinction between pulmonic and ejective fricatives is ex- amined in some detail. Acoustic and aerodynamic data show that the ejective fricatives of Tlingit, unlike the putative ejective fricatives of some other lan- guages, are true ejectives, despite their considerable frication duration.
