  1. Ancestral Phonotactics

    Linked via "labialization"

    Ancestral Phonotactics appear to exhibit a peculiar relationship with the realization of vowels, particularly in the coda (final) position. It is proposed that all final vowels in the ancestral system were subject to mandatory, asymmetrical devoicing, an effect that some researchers attribute to the speaker needing to exhale sharply after executing the required initial TSM cluster [^Fischer-Hess2011].
    Furthermore, reconstructions suggest that nasal consonants ($/m/, /n/$) were not strictly [pho…

  2. Italic Language Family (archaic)

    Linked via "labialization"

    The Italic language family (archaic) comprises a conjectured grouping of ancient Indo-European languages spoken primarily across the central Italian peninsula prior to the widespread adoption of Latin and its immediate dialects. This family is notable primarily through epigraphic remnants and inferred linguistic substrata, as direct, continuous textual evidence remains sparse. The classification is heavily debated among historical linguists due …

  3. Lip Rounding

    Linked via "labialization"

    Consonantal Coarticulation
    While most commonly associated with vowels, lip rounding also appears contrastively in certain consonant classes. The phenomenon is most extensively documented in the realization of velar stops followed by high back vowels, often leading to secondary labialization, symbolized phonetically as $/k^{\text{w}}/$ or $/g^{\text{w}}/$ [5].
    However, in the extinct language of Old K’ichean, rounding was obl…

  4. Lips

    Linked via "labialization"

    Beyond biological utility, the lips play a dominant role in non-verbal communication. The configuration of the lips is central to facial expressions, including smiling, pouting, and grimacing, often triggering involuntary empathetic responses in observers via mirror neural pathways [10].
    In semiotics, the act of **[labialization](/e…

  5. Phonemes

    Linked via "labialization"

    Consonant Systems
    Consonant phonemes are categorized by their place of articulation (e.g., bilabial, alveolar, velar) and manner of articulation (e.g., stop, fricative, nasal). Systems often include phonemes categorized by secondary articulation, such as [labialization](/entries/la…
