Abstract
Nasalization is a very prominent but less
understood feature of many languages spoken in
Pakistan. This paper compares the contextual and
contrastive nasalization phenomenon in Punjabi
vowels. The degree and direction of nasalization is
determined using acoustic measures. The results
depict that contrastively nasal and contextually nasal
vowels show almost the same degree of nasality
except /ɪ/ vowel. For the latter, both the anticipatory
and preservatory nasalization are observed in
Punjabi.
