labialization
labialisation BrE

Labialization may also refer to a type of assimilation process.

Labialization is the most widespread secondary articulation in the world's languages.

Labialization is a secondary articulatory feature of sounds in some languages.

Some languages also include palatalization and labialization as contrastive features.

These diacritics are sometimes also used with consonants to indicate degrees of labialization.

Different kinds of labialization are also possible.

The three features of quality in Izi are palatalization, labialization, and neutral.

They insisted on writing the labialization as superscripts rather than as separate segments.

Lip rounding, or labialization, is a common approximant-like co-articulatory feature.

With non-dorsal consonants, labialization may include velarization as well.

Marshallese also has labialization at all places of articulation except for coronal obstruents.

In other contexts, it may be not realized, or realized as mere labialization of the preceding consonant.

In the case of u-umlaut, this entails labialization of unrounded vowels.

Labialization is not restricted to lip-rounding.

Palatals were "often followed by labialization."

Two phonological processes in Nayi: palatalization and labialization.

That is, it is vocalic labialization.

This loss of labialization is also found on the simultaneity marker where younger speakers have -kyang against older -kyangw.

Secondary articulations (aspiration, labialization, velarization, palatalization, etc.) are not used in Czech.

Many languages also have labialization velars, such as , in which the articulation is accompanied by rounding of the lips.

The most notable feature of the Arapesh phoneme inventory is the use of labialization as a contrastive device.

Palatals were häufig mit nachfolgender Labialisierung, "frequently with subsequent Labialization."

(Protrusion) roundedness is the vocalic equivalent of consonantal labialization.

(Elsewhere this diacritic generally indicates simultaneous labialization and velarization.)

Similarly, a deleted may prompt labialization of a preceding consonant, though this has ceased to carry any morphological meaning.

Labialisation is the most widespread secondary articulation in the world's languages.

This taxonomy is based on a single (but very salient) phonological criterion (presence/absence of secondary labialisation).

Eastern Arrernte language has labialisation at all place of articulation and manner of articulation; this derives historically from adjacent rounded vowels, as is also the case of the Northwest Caucasian languages.

Out of 706 language inventories surveyed by , labialisation occurred most often with velar consonant (42%) and uvular consonant (15%) segments and least often with dental consonant and alveolar consonant segments.

(with Mona Perrin), 'A note on labialisation in Mambila' in Actes du huitième Congrès International de Linguistique Africaine, Abidjan, 24-28 mars 1969 (Abidjan: Bibliothèque Universitaire, 1971)

Linguistic reconstructions suggest that both the richness of the consonantal systems and the poverty of the vocalic systems may be the result of a historical process, whereby vowel features such as labialisation and palatalisation were reassigned to adjacent consonants.
