本文提出了一个四个主题的研究，探讨音节位置和重音的相对影响，以及元音上下文对普通美国英语说话者的深色特征的着色。大多数研究者报告较轻的/l/标记在音节开始和较暗的标记在结尾的位置。本研究表明，当dark‐l在抑扬格元音间语境中与双音节高前元音一起作为起始音时，由于域初始加强，它是完全黑暗的。相比之下，当dark-l在单词边界上被替换为词尾或词首辅音时，或者当它被包含在内部上下文中时（具有扬抑重音的边界前元音间韵），它的背部姿态受到限制，导致较少的黑色标记。在dark-l的情况下，不仅要从齿槽姿势的角度来理解发音不足，还要从背侧姿势的角度来理解发音不足。
This paper presents a four‐subject study that examines the relative influence of syllable position and stress, together with vowel context on the colouring of the dark‐l characteristic of speakers of General American English. Most investigators report lighter /l/ tokens in syllable onsets and darker tokens in coda positions. The present study demonstrates that when dark‐l serves as an onset in iambic intervocalic context with tautosyllabic high front vowels, it is fully dark as a result of domain‐initial strengthening. By contrast, when dark‐l is abutted across a word boundary to word‐final or word‐initial consonants, or when it is contained in a foot‐internal context (preboundary intervocalic rime with trochaic stress) its dorsal gesture is constrained, resulting in less dark tokens. In the case of dark‐l, articulatory undershoot must be understood not only in terms of the alveolar gesture, but also the dorsal gesture.
