Alveolar Trill - Raised Alveolar Non-sonorant Trill

Raised Alveolar Non-sonorant Trill

In Czech there are two contrasting alveolar trills. Besides the typical trill, written r, there is another, written ř, in words such as rybáři 'fishermen' and the common surname Dvořák. Its manner of articulation is similar to but the tongue is raised; it is partially fricative, with the frication sounding rather like, though not so retracted. Thus in the IPA it is written as ⟨r⟩ plus the raising diacritic, ⟨r̝⟩. (Before the 1989 IPA Kiel Convention, it had a dedicated symbol ⟨ ɼ⟩). It is normally voiced, but there is a voiceless allophone as with many other Czech consonants.

Famous quotes containing the word raised:

    Conditional love is love that is turned off and on....Some parents only show their love after a child has done something that pleases them. “I love you, honey, for cleaning your room!” Children who think they need to earn love become people pleasers, or perfectionists. Those who are raised on conditional love never really feel loved.
    Louise Hart (20th century)
