Abstract

The phonetic exponents of German /r/ in the rhyme of the syllable have long-domain characteristics. For all speakers they are rhymal, for some syllabic. The main characteristic is back resonance in the vocoid portion and any following contoid articulations. At least for some speakers this back resonance can be related to pharynx size, so the phonological distinctions can be characterized by the rhymal features [normal] and [narrow], the latter associated with /r/. A declarative framework has been chosen because firstly it allows no constraint violations and is therefore more restricted than OT, for example, and secondly it allows features to be specified at all levels of foot structure, not just the terminal nodes of onset, nucleus and coda.
