Consonant inventory
Total consonant inventory expected for Australian English (Cox & Fletcher, 2017): /p, b, m, f, v, t, d, n, θ, ð, s, z, ɹ, l, w, k, ɡ, ŋ, h, tʃ, dʒ, ʃ, ʒ, j/
Inventory constraints (phones not in inventory; note which phones have not been elicited)
- In the inventory: p, b, m, f, t, d, n, l, w, k, ŋ, h, j.
- Not observed anywhere: v, θ, ð, s, z, ɹ, ɡ, tʃ, dʒ, ʃ, ʒ.
- Not observed, despite elicitation: v, θ, s, z, ɹ, ɡ, tʃ, dʒ, ʃ
- (See: v (van), θ (thumb, path), s (sock), z (nose), ɡ (gone), ɹ (bridge, train, crab), ʃ (fish, splash), tʃ (chair, watch), dʒ (jam, bridge))
- Not observed, and not elicited: ð, ʒ
- Positional constraints (positions phones limited to):
- Phones that appear in all positions: b, m, t, d, n.
- Phones restricted to Syllable Onset – Word initial: f, w, j, k, (h)
- Phones restricted to Syllable Coda – Word Final: p, l, (ŋ)
Sequence constraints (e.g., : only CVCV and CCV; clusters limited to…):
The best way of writing the sequence constraints:
▪ C(w)V(C)(t)
Alternative 1:
▪ C(C)V(C)(C)
▪ Onset clusters are restricted to [Cw] / a consonant followed by [w]
▪ Coda clusters are restricted to [Ct] / a consonant followed by [t]
Alternative 2:
▪ C1-2VC0-2
▪ Onset clusters are restricted to [Cw] / a consonant followed by [w]
▪ Coda clusters are restricted to [Ct] / a consonant followed by [t]
▪ C(w)V(C)(t)
b. Vowel inventory
Total vowel inventory expected (identify the transcription convention used in each data sample you are provided with; Cox & Fletcher, 2017):
Circle vowels within the client’s phonetic inventory.
o Not observed AND not elicited: oɪ, ɪə
o All other vowels would thus have been circled
