The dental/alveolar contrast in Javanese1
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 05 February 2009
Extract
The present paper describes a palatographic investigation of Javanese coronal stops. Javanese exhibits stop consonants at both dental and alveolar places of articulation. In the current roman orthography, the dentals are represented by the single letters t, d, while the alveolars are represented by the digraphs th, dh. Thus, for example, titik [titI?] ‘full stop’ contrasts with thithik [titI?] ‘a little’.
