Abstract

The purpose of this article is to describe and analyze the reduction of unstressed vowels in Coratino, a language spoken in the Apulia region of Italy. Its vowel inventory includes seven vowels: /i, e, ε, a, ɔ, o, u/. All but /a/ are reduced to a schwa when they surface in unstressed positions. Furthermore, back and front vowels are not reduced in unstressed positions when they are adjacent to a labial consonant, or adjacent to a velar followed by a palatal. These vowels also remain non-reduced in word-initial position. Therefore, there are three contexts in which these vowels are not reduced (in stressed positions, adjacent to a consonant, and in word-initial positions). This article aims to reduce this disjunction.

Résumé

Résumé

Cet article a pour but de décrire et d’analyser la réduction des voyelles atones en coratin, un dialecte italien de la région des Pouilles. Le système vocalique de ce dialecte comporte sept voyelles, /i, e, ε, a, ɔ, o, u/: toutes sauf /a/ sont réduites à schwa lorsqu’elles surviennent en dehors de l’accent tonique. Une autre caractéristique de ce système est que les voyelles postérieures et les voyelles antérieures demeurent non-réduites en position atone lorsqu’elles sont adjacentes à une consonne labiale ou vélaire puis palatale. Un autre contexte de maintien de ces voyelles atones est l’initiale absolue de mot. Il y a donc trois contextes de non-réduction des voyelles (en position tonique, adjacente à une consonne et à l’initiale de mot). Cet article se propose de réduire cette disjonction.
