Temporal Segment

Vowels were segmented into 15 different temporal segments taken from the middle of the vowel and ranging from 4 to 60 msecs, then presented to 6 subjects with normal hearing. The mean temporal-segment recognition threshold of 15 msecs with a range from 9.3 msecs for the /u/ to 27.2 milliseconds for the /a/. Misidenti-fication of vowels was most often confused with the vowel sound adjacent to it on the vowel-hump diagram. There was no significant difference between the cardinal and noncardinal vowels.

This paper investigates vowel adaptation in English-based loanwords by a group of Saudi Arabic speakers, concentrating exclusively on shared vowels between the two languages. It examines 5 long vowels shared by the two vowel systems in terms of vowel quality and vowel duration in loanword productions by 22 participants and checks them against the properties of the same vowels in native words. To this end, the study performs an acoustic analysis of 660 tokens (loan and native vowel sounds) through Praat to measure the first two formants (F1: vowel height and F2: vowel advancement) of each vowel sound at two temporal points of time (T1: the vowel onset and T2: the peak of the vowel) as well as a durational analysis to examine vowel length. It reports that measurements of the first two formants of vowels in native words appear to be stable during the two temporal points while values of the same vowel sounds occurring in loanwords are fluctuating from T1 to T2 and that durational differences exist between loanword vowels in comparison with vowels of native words in such a way that vowels in native words are longer in duration than the same vowels appearing in loanwords.

Physical Elements

The lyrics of a song as a creative piece of poetry are made up of physical and mental elements. Physical elements include diction, image, rhetorical means, and rhyme, while the inner element is the meaning. Rima or poetry in the lyrics (poetry) in addition to acting as aesthetics also provides a comfortable atmosphere, fun called eufofoni sound and provide euasana otherwise called kakophoni. Eufofoni sounds in the form of vowel sound, while the sound of kakofoni in the form of consonant sound. The sounds are deliberately chosen by the author as a means of rhetoric to be enjoyed in accordance with the meaning and theme contained in the lyrics. Rima in the lyrics (poetry) aesthetically gives the neatness of sound at the end of the stan neatly with the pattern aaaa (full), abab (cross), abba (hug), aabb (spouse) and broken (abcd).
