Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The current study examines the effects of emphatics /ðˤ sˤ tˤ/ and uvulars /ʁ χ/ on following vowels in Bedouin Hijazi Arabic. The main goal is to observe F1 and F2 of vowels /i æ u/ next to the aforementioned sounds. The outcome of this study shows that F1 and F2 values next to emphatics and uvulars are reliable acoustic correlates. Emphatics and uvulars next to vowels increase F1 values, a pattern not noticeable in vowels next to plain sounds /ð s t/. Both groups also show lower F2 values compared to plain coronals. The size of F2 decrease, however, is lower in vowels following emphatics than vowels following uvulars. Differences in F2 values between these sound groups suggest differences in their articulatory mechanisms.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
