Abstract

We present ultrasound data from four speakers of the Australian language Arrernte, and ten speakers of the Dravidian language Kannada. Our focus is on the coronal consonants of these languages, and in particular on the manner contrasts (stop, nasal and lateral) for the various places of articulation. The places of articulation are dental, alveolar, retroflex and palatal for Arrernte; and dental/alveolar and retroflex for Kannada. We show that the tongue back is consistently more back for the lateral manner of articulation,and almost always more forward for the nasal manner. We discuss the possible reasons for these results.
