This may suggest that varieties of Arabic distinguish between true and fake geminates based on their differing acoustics.Bennis, S. 2010), which found that word-final true geminates were 1.5 times longer than singletons, with shorter preceding vowels before geminates in a kind of “temporal compensation” relationship (121). These findings are contrary to research on word-final true geminates in Urban Jordanian Arabic (Al-Tamimi et al. Surprisingly, intervocalic “geminates” had a 1:1 ratio to their singleton counterparts, gemination being neutralized in this position. ![]() Word-final fake geminates were found to be 1.3 times as long as singleton consonants, with no appreciable difference in vowel length preceding singletons and geminates, which is similar to findings on geminates from other languages (Lahiri & Hankamer 1988). The recordings were measured in the phonetics program Praat (Boersma & Weenink 2015) for preceding vowel length, stop closure duration, and stop burst length. ![]() Two speakers read the 3MSG imperfect and 1SG imperfect, and a third speaker read the 3MSG imperfect and the 2FSG imperfect. Three speakers participated in the present study, reading fifteen verbs. Analysis of Egyptian Arabic acoustic data suggests that this does not occur in Egyptian Arabic, speakers maintaining distinctions between word-final singletons and fake geminates. Holes (2004) observes that neutralization of word-final fake geminates in some dialects of Arabic ( “he was quiet” versus “I was/you (fem.) were quiet”) may lead to phonemic stress if a loss of gemination occurs (62). ![]()
