fortisとは 意味・読み方・使い方

発音

• IPA: /ˈfɔː(ɹ)tɪs/

形容詞

fortis (not comparable)

1. (phonetics, of a consonant) Relatively strongly articulated, hence voiceless and possibly aspirated; especially as compared to the others of a group of homorganic consonants.

   Synonym: tense

   Antonym: lenis

   Unaspirated [p] is fortis in French, the corresponding lenis consonant being [b]. The same sound is lenis in Danish, the corresponding fortis consonant being [pʰ].

   • 2004, Stephan Gramley, Michael Pätzold, A Survey of Modern English, Routledge, →ISBN, page 80:

     All vowels, whether short or complex, are relatively shorter when followed by a fortis consonant and relatively longer when followed by a lenis one or, for those where this is possible, when no consonant follows (in free or unchecked syllables).
