Abstract

The phonetic properties of clicks have been investigated in a wide range of languages, using a variety of techniques. Aerodynamic and acoustic properties of lingual consonants1 have been examined in Zulu (Doke 1923a), Naro (Kagaya 1978), Khoekhoe (Ladefoged and Traill 1984), ǃXóõ (Traill 1985; Traill 1991; Ladefoged and Traill 1994), Xhosa (Sands 1991), Gǀui (Nakagawa 1996; Nakagawa 2006), Hadza (Sands et al. 1996), Nǀuu (Miller et al. 2007a), and Yeyi (Fulop et al. 2003). X-ray (Doke 1923b; Doke 1925; Traill 1985), palatography and linguography (Doke 1923a; Doke 1925; Beach 1938; Traill 1985; Nakagawa 2006; Sands et al. 1996; Sands et al. 2007), and more recently, high-speed ultrasound studies (Miller et al. 2007b; Miller et al. 2009b; Miller et al. 2009a, etc.), have provided rich detail about the lingual articulation of clicks in these and other languages.
Collectively, these data have provided …
