I have always understood nasals to be defined by the values -CONT and +SON. I've never seen a situation where this is the appropriate analysis. The chart on this page assigns nasals the feature +CONT.

Isn't there a meaning of sonority for music?īye :D -Preceding unsigned comment added by 14.136.44.158 ( talk) 08:53, 7 November 2010 (UTC) Nasals This list doesn't have either Ryan 1729 ( talk) 06:36, 10 April 2014 (UTC) Origin of concept Ĭan someone track down the origin of the concept and term in modern linguistics? LokiClock ( talk) 01:05, 15 December 2009 (UTC) Can someone who knows a better source place, , and into the chart on the page? Ryan 1729 ( talk) 06:28, 10 April 2014 (UTC) My intro linguistics text doesn't go into this much detail. Best wishes!- Alpinu ( talk) 00:21, 23 February 2009 (UTC) "In English, the sonority scale, from lowest to the highest, is the following: "The Sonority Scale: Categorical or Gradient?" "Quantifying the Sonority Hierarchy" Questions I hope this might help to fill in some of the missing details. I was also wondering about where some other places of articulations would be placed, so I did a bit of searching, and I found 2 documents that might help fill in the missing categories, but I haven't looked over them completely. This age is linked to from, refering to the Trance group named 'Sonorous'. Yeah, what about approximants? Where exactly do they fit in? 201.37.64.244 17:32, 9 October 2007 (UTC) Approximants are covered by liquids and (nonsyllabic) high vowels in the chart.

If anyone knows what they are, feel free to put them in I added some categories here, but I'm sure there's at least one more set of categories that I missed. Coyne025 14:13, 22 July 2007 (UTC) Sound change Ĭan a sound change violate the sonority hierarchy? - 84.61.62.55 12:11, 13 March 2006 (UTC) Categorisation In essence this is saying the same thing as /s/ is best treated as an exception, but it at least gives a little more info behind the idea. 84.70.37.244 20:23, (UTC) In phonology we studied the idea of a phonotactic "index," which would be a segment or natural class of segments that can be added to word boundaries, such as sonorants in French (no good examples come to mind) or /s/ in English. Are there any "explanations" for this, or at least some attempts to make it fit into the theory? - Schuetzm 18:54, (UTC) The best explanation I know of is simply to say that sibilants are best treated as an exception. In english as well as other germanic languages there are a lot of words beginning with sp, st etc., which obviously violate the sonority hierarchy. Jim Henry ( talk) 16:17, 19 January 2010 (UTC) Exceptions to the Sonority Sequencing Principle For the nontechnical sense of the word "sonorous", see the Wiktionary entry on the word.Also maybe there should be a disambig link for the band named "Sonorous" as well. Maybe we should have a disambiguating interwiki link to Wiktionary? - Jim Henry ( talk) 16:10, 19 January 2010 (UTC) Maybe something like: This page is about the linguistics concept of sonority. I don't know what we would say about them here. Tenbergen ( talk) 19:51, 30 November 2009 (UTC) It seems to me that the everyday, nontechnical sense of the words "sonorous" and "sonority" are more suitable to a dictionary than to an encyclopedia. I don't know enough about the topic to even start the article I am actually looking for. This article has nothing to do with that, yet I am redirected here. Yes, I found this trying to look up what a "sonorous voice" would be. Hi peoples, why is there no article about sonorous? i have no idea what this page has to do with it. What are low semivowels? Coyne025 14:16, 22 July 2007 (UTC) How about sonorous voices? ishwar (SPEAK) 06:11, 2005 Mar 14 (UTC) Semivowels are officially classed as approximant consonants, unless you're talking about within diphthongs, which would be an element of the nucleus rather than part of an onset or coda.

High semivowels = high vowels, low semivowels = low vowels. Semivowels are basically just short vowels (more precisely, non-syllabic vowels). What about semivowels? Where do they fall on the scale? neatnate 09:55, (UTC) (copied from Everything2 and posted here by the original author, Ryan Gabbard (elwethingol of Everything2)) 3 Exceptions to the Sonority Sequencing Principle.
