释义 | rhotic adjective phonetics specializeduk /ˈrəʊ.tɪk/ us /ˈroʊ.t̬ɪk/ used to refer to a type of English, in which an /r/ is pronounced in all situations where there is an "r" in spelling: (英语)将r音全部读出的口音 In a rhotic accent, an /r/ is pronounced at the end of "car".在将r音全部读出的口音中,car最后的/r/是读出来的。 Linguistics: phonology & phonetics accommodation alliterative alveolar apheresis aphesis assonance diphthong homonym intrusive labial labialize labiodental postalveolar postconsonantal retroflex retroflexion rhyme the International Phonetic Alphabet unpronounceable unrepeatable Examples of rhoticrhotic Yet there are striking exceptions: picture has no rhotic ending in seven cases, while actor always has. It seems that the rhotic ending is stronger and even exaggerated in monosyllabic words. These differences in rhotic length had consequences for the segments' overall realization, as voicing, length, and manner are intimately related. Furthermore, such reduced forms are attested in modern rhotic varieties, as the putative loss of final /r/ is not. This next set of data shows that only the two central vowels are allowed before a rhotic in an unstressed syllable. This is surprising if put in parallel with the next example actor, in which all the endings are rhotic. It is never, though, followed by the articulation of a final rhotic consonant. Assuming that rhotic preservation correlates with stress preservation, this provides a window on the stress patterns of these words, at least in one dialect. However, this is a relatively recent innovation, and our participants reflect the apical rhotic pronunciation that was common in the provinces during the 19th century. These learners were thus the most proficient of the four nonnative groups as concerns their mastery of rhotic voicing. If we were to find a case where the lateral is opaque and the rhotic is targeted, we would expect the former to manifest the attributes of a lateral fricative. Included is a description of the limited set of contrasts in an unstressed syllable closed by a rhotic, and a discussion of the asymmetric pattern in restricted harmony. As a consequence, it is likely that learners will not only face problems mastering the articulation of the sounds but also producing the right rhotic in a given context. Wheeler offers a systematic description and exemplification of these morphological alternations and their phonological environments (which are somewhat different for the nasal and for the rhotic). The realization of the hard rhotic varies significantly across dialects. From Wikipedia This example is from Wikipedia and may be reused under a CC BY-SA license.
