Tongue articulation dynamics of /iː, yː, ʉ̟ː/ in Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmöhus Swedish

Year: 2014

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: Articulatory data were collected for the Swedish vowels /iː, yˌ, ʉ̟ː / from nine speakers each of Stockholm, Gothen-burg, and Malmöhus Swedish, and the tongue positions and their dynamics analysed using Functional Data Analy-sis (FDA). Results showed that the gen-eral tongue positions for /iː / and /yː / are similar and clearly different from /ʉ̟ː / in all three dialects. Variation within the Stockholm and Gothenburg groups led to a subdivision into two types, where the tongue positions of type 1 resem-bled Malmöhus Swedish more. Several differences in tongue articulation be-tween types 1 and 2 were observed, possibly explained by the presence of Viby-coloured /iː / and / yː / in type 2.
