| Abstract | Among younger speakers of Hong Kong Cantonese, an allophonic split in sibilant affricates has emerged, with alveolar /ts, tsʰ/ appearing as palatalized [tʃ, tʃʰ] before round vowels. This study examines the phonetic motivation for this change through a dynamic articulatory analysis of tongue and lip movement. The result indicates that anticipatory lip rounding before round vowels has differing acoustic consequences for different sibilants, where affricates /ts, tsʰ/ are influenced by it to a greater extent than fricative /s/. As both lip rounding and palatalization lead to similar acoustic signals, it opens the possibility for articulatory re-interpretation of alveolar affricates. |
