J. Ellis in which existing Roman letters and other characters were used to form a universal phonetic alphabet. palatal A consonant articulated with the tongue touching or approaching the hard palate. palatalisation Articulation of a consonant resulting from the raising of the tongue towards the hard palate as in the initial sound of dew /dju:/ as opposed to do /du:/. palatalised a. pronounced with some degree of palatalisation. paragogic a.

Hence phonemic a. Cf. allophone. phonotactic a. Of or relating to the permissible sequences of phonemes in a given language, e.g. the presence of a homorganic d in PDE thunder (OE dunor) but not in Scots; and the absence of initial /rj/ in Present-Day English but its presence in Maori (e.g. ngaio name of a tree, pronounced /'naiau/ in New Zealand English but /rjaio/ in Maori). pidgin A contact language used between groups which have no language in common, especially a simplified variety of one group's language which has become somewhat stabilised for a special purpose such as trade. A pidgin is not the first language of any of its speakers; contrast Creole, pidginisation the process by which such a contact language emerges. polysemy The existence of many meanings (of a given word, phrase, etc.); e.g. balloon 'inflatable decorative rubber pouch; an aerial vehicle capable of carrying passengers, meteorological equipment, etc.; a large globular brandy glass'.

See retroflexion. r-dropping The absence of rhoticity in the pronunciation of words containing medial pre-consonantal <r> {bom, heart) or final <r> {after, sever). Received Standard See RP. reduplication The repetition of some part of the root of a word, esp. in the case of verbal forms (chiefly the perfect tense) in Greek and Latin, e.g. Xvw 'unfasten', (perfect) XeXvKa 'I have unfastened'; cado 'I fall', (perfect) cecidi'I have fallen'; also, as shown in the English types helter-skelter, mumbo-jumbo. referent The idea or thing that a word symbolises. Thus the object describable as 'the natural satellite of the earth, illuminated by the sun and reflecting some light to the earth' is the referent of English moon. reflex An item in the sound system of a language which is directly related, by regular phonological change, to a specific item in the language at an earlier stage of its history. relexification A language's one-for-one exchange of words while retaining much of its original structure; the proposed explanation for the trans- formation of pidgin Portuguese into pidgin English, French etc. in seventeenth-century West Africa, relexify v. retroflexion The articulation of a speech sound with the tip of the tongue curling towards the hard palate, esp. that occurring in words containing <r> {bird, earth, etc.): a marked feature of American English.

Modern Scots and American English, that retains historical /r/ in most circumstances {river, Arthur, far from, etc.). The state or condition of being rhotic is rhoticity or rhotacism. RP is notable for its non-rhoticity. 565 Glossary of linguistic terms rounding A term used in phonetics in the classification of lip position: the lips are said to be rounded for the pronunciation of certain speech sounds (e.g. regional English /u/ in some), and unrounded for others (e.g. /A/ in RP some).

Opposed to syllable-timed a. substratum (or substrate language) A linguistic variety or set of forms which has influenced the structure or use of a more dominant variety or language within a community; specif., in the language contact leading to a pidgin or Creole, the language(s) spoken by the group(s) with less power.
