(詳細はapical. * are phonetically aspirated, , while are unaspirated. *A sequence of a stop or affricate and a glottal stop is phonetically realized as an ejective. This pronunciation occurs within words and across word boundaries: ('they two put it in') as . Some analyses have proposed that the sequences be considered single ejective consonant phonemes based on their phonotactic properties.〔See , , , , .〕 * and contrast only before ; before the contrast is neutralized to . This neutralization of contrast also applies to the sequences . * are palatal before the vowels , but are velar elsewhere. Since is realized as an ejective before a glottal stop, the sequences are phonetically . *In a sequence of a stop or affricate plus another consonant (except ), the stop/affricate has no audible release. That is, ('elbow') is phonetically and not . *All Zuni consonants occur with contrastive duration: short or long. In Newman's analysis, the phonetically long consonants are geminates (that is, a sequence of two identical consonants). and analyze length as a separate phoneme. Geminate affricates are realized with a long closure period and a fricative release, e.g. as , as . * is phonetically a voiceless vowel , except when following a consonant in which case it is a velar fricative : ('pick it up!') is phonetically . *The sonorants (as well as vowels, see below) are optionally devoiced when followed by . The devoicing occurs within words and across word boundaries. This is especially common when also preceded by a voiceless consonant (in addition to the following ): ('thus perhaps') pronounced . * is optionally realized as a phonetic velar before . *There is a marginal contrast between palatal and velar before the low vowel . The usual pronunciation of before is palatal . However, in some words — all of which are probably loanwords — a velar occurs before (notably in the very common word, ('non-Mormon Anglo-American'), which is phonetically and not ). This has led to an analysis of Zuni having two dorsal phonemes, and , by some linguists. A discussion of the disagreement between analyses and range of social variation of certain forms are discussed in .〔The other articles are , , , , .〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Zuni phonology」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
