Understanding Palatalization in Linguistics

1. Palatalization 2012.04.01 Minjae

2. Palatalization: - In linguistics, palatalization, also palatalisation, may refer to two different processes by which a sound, usually a consonant, comes to be produced with the tongue in a position in the mouth near the palate. - The front of the tongue may articulate against or near to the hard palate. Such a raising of the front of the tongue towards the palate (palatalization) is an essential part of the [ʃ,ʒ] sounds in English words, such as ‘she’ [ʃ] and ‘measure’ [ʒ] , being additional to an articulation made between the blade of the tongue and alveolar ridge; or again, it is the main feature of the [j] sound(/y/) initially in ‘yield’ [An Introduction to the Pronunciation of English] 3rd edition A.C. Gimson (Professor of Phonetics, University college London) Definition
