| Abstract: | In this paper, we investigate experimentally the impact of prosodic and information structure on the duration of stress vowels and post-stress consonants, as the main phonetic correlates of vowel length, in two closely related Italo-Romance varieties: Genoese and Portorino, both belonging to the Ligurian group. First, our study confirms that vowel length is phonetically represented in both varieties and the differences between them in this respect are less dramatic than expected on the basis of prior research. Secondly, by comparing different experiments which involve utterance-final lengthening and corrective focalization, it is shown that these contextual effects have a significant impact on the phonetic implementation of vowel length in both varieties. Our results call for a high methodological awareness in studying languages which present vowel length, especially with regard to the design of production experiments and the assessment of its phonetic correlates. |
