The Mixtec couplet is not a consistent grammatical unit
This is an accepted article with a DOI pre-assigned that is not yet published.Nearly every piece of research on the phonology of Mixtec languages makes reference to the couplet, a term used to describe the shape of canonical roots and to explain the domain of numerous phonological processes. Despite its ubiquity, scholars disagree over whether the couplet should be defined in prosodic terms as a bimoraic foot, or in morphological terms as a root.…
Effects of syllable position and place of articulation on secondary dorsal contrasts
Irish ultrasound study supports articulatory bases for loss of palatalization contrasts. • Palatalization contrast in stops reduced in word-/syllable-final position. • Tongue body distinction in palatalization contrast is smallest for dorsal stops. • Palatalization contrast is more reduced in coda for labial than coronal stops. • Velarized sounds more subject to coarticulation than palatalized, esp. in coda and after [iː]. Secondary articulations…
Internationalization of University Education
Internationalization is one of the most important contemporary trends in higher education. It has become one of the most common references in the vocabularies commonly used by most universities all over the world. It is an important tool in academic developments as it aims to add and integrate international dimensions in teaching, programs, research and all higher education services of the universities. However, there is a lack of clarity about t…
Vowel Deletion as Grammatically Controlled Gestural Overlap in Uspanteko
Vowel Deletion as Grammatically Controlled Gestural Overlap in Uspanteko
Uspanteko is an endangered Mayan language spoken in Guatemala. Unstressed vowels in Uspanteko often delete, though deletion is variable within and across speakers. Deletion appears to be phonological: it is sensitive to foot structure, morphology, and certain phonotactics, and it occurs in slow, careful speech. But deletion also has characteristics more typical of a phonetic process: it is intertwined with a pattern of gradient vowel reduction an…
Xoqoneb’
Uspanteko is one of the smallest (in terms of speakers) and most threatened Mayan languages spoken in Guatemala. While Uspanteko belongs to the K’ichean branch of the Mayan family, it bears a striking number of linguistic features not seen in its sister languages across major aspects of the grammar, including phonetics/phonology (e.g., lexical tone) and morphosyntax (e.g., null verbal inflection). After introducing an Uspanteko text about the sac…
The phonetics and phonology of Uspanteko (Mayan)
Uspanteko is an endangered Mayan language spoken by up to 6000 people in the Guatemalan highlands. We provide an overview of the phonetics and phonology of Uspanteko, focussing on phenomena which are common in Mayan languages and/or typologically interesting. These include glottalised consonants (ejectives, implosives, and glottal stop), uvular consonants, vowel length contrasts, syllable structure, stress, and lexical tone. Tone is unusual among…
Mesoamerica
The Mesoamerican linguistic area is rich with prosodic phenomena, including a wide variety of complex tone, phonation, stress, and intonational systems. The diversity of prosodic patterns in Mesoamerica reflects the extreme time-depth and complex history of the languages spoken there. This chapter surveys the prosody of Mesoamerican languages and some past analyses of their structures. Topics include the areal distribution of tonal complexity; in…
Airborne formaldehyde and volatile organic compound measurements over the Daesan petrochemical complex on Korea’s northwest coast during the Korea-United States Air Quality study
The U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration in partnership with Korea’s National Institute of Environmental Research embarked on the Korea-United States Air Quality (KORUS-AQ) study to address air quality issues over the Korean peninsula. Underestimation of volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from various large facilities on South Korea’s northwest coast may contribute to this problem, and this study focuses on quantifying top-do…
Prosody, focus, and ellipsis in Irish
This article analyzes a certain class of misalignments found in contemporary Irish in the relation between syntactic and phonological representations. The mismatches analyzed turn on the phonological requirements of focus (verum focus, in particular) and of ellipsis and on how the two sets of requirements interact. It argues that the phonological mechanisms of ellipsis can be overridden when the phonological requirements of F-marking need to be s…
Recursive prosodic words in Kaqchikel (Mayan)
Following the development of Prosodic Hierarchy Theory (Selkirk 1984; Nespor & Vogel 1986), evidence has accumulated that prosodic categories may be recursively self-embedded (e.g. Selkirk 1995; Truckenbrodt 1999; Wagner 2010; Itô & Mester 2013, etc.). However, this conclusion is not universally accepted (e.g. Vogel 2009a), and even the need for prosodic categories has been recently disputed (e.g. Scheer 2012b).In this article I argue that the pr…
The Syntax-Prosody Interface
This article provides an overview of current and historically important issues in the study of the syntax-prosody interface, the point of interaction between syntactic structure and phrase-level phonology. We take a broad view of the syntax-prosody interface, surveying both direct and indirect reference theories, with a focus on evaluating the continuing prominent role of prosodic hierarchy theory in shaping our understanding of this area of ling…
Prosodic Smothering in Macedonian and Kaqchikel
This article deals with a so-far unnoticed phenomenon in prosodic phonology, which we dub prosodic smothering. Prosodic smothering arises when the prosodic status of a clitic or affix varies with the presence or absence of some outer morpheme. We first illustrate prosodic smothering with novel data from two genetically unrelated languages, Macedonian (Slavic) and Kaqchikel (Mayan). We then provide a unified account of prosodic smothering based on…
An ultrasound study of Connemara Irish palatalization and velarization
We present the first ultrasound analysis of the secondary palatalization contrast in Irish, analyzing data from five speakers from the Connemara dialect group. Word-initial /pj(bj)pɣ(bɣ)tjtɣkjkɣfjfɣsjsɣxjxɣ/ are analyzed in the context of /iːuː/. We find, first, that tongue body position robustly distinguishes palatalized from velarized consonants, across place of articulation, manner, and vowel place contexts, with palatalized consonants having …
Introduction to Mayan Linguistics
Lightest to the Right
This article analyzes mismatches between syntactic and prosodic constituency in Irish and attempts to understand those mismatches in terms of recent proposals about the nature of the syntax-prosody interface. It argues in particular that such mismatches are best understood in terms of Selkirk's (2011) Match Theory, working in concert with constraints concerned with rhythm and phonological balance. An apparently anomalous rightward movement that s…
Mayan phonology
This paper presents an overview of the phonetics and phonology of Mayan languages. The focus is primarily descriptive, but the article also attempts to frame the sound patterns of Mayan languages within a larger typological and theoretical context. Special attention is given to areas which are ripe for further descriptive or theoretical investigation
Output optimization in the Irish plural system
In this paper I argue that a subpattern of Irish plural allomorphy should be analyzed as output optimizing in character. Specifically, I claim that stress-sensitive alternations between the plural suffixes -(e)anna and -(e)acha are conditioned by constraints on metrical well-formedness. This analysis connects with independent facts about the the prosodic prominence of [ax] sequences in Irish phonology. I further argue that an explanatory analysis…
Prevalence and Treatment of Latent Tuberculosis Infection Among Newly Arrived Refugees in San Diego County, January 2010–October 2012
Objectives. We determined the prevalence and treatment rates of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) in newly arrived refugees in San Diego County, California, and assessed demographic and clinical characteristics associated with these outcomes. Methods. We analyzed data from LTBI screening results of 4280 refugees resettled in San Diego County between January 2010 and October 2012. Using multivariate logistic regression, we calculated the associ…
The uniqueness of metrical structure
This article argues that, contrary to some recent proposals, a given phonological form may be organised into at most one array of metrical structure at a time. The bulk of the paper is dedicated to a case study of Huariapano, a language that has been claimed to motivate multiple, coexisting but autonomous, layers of metrical parsing. I show that this conclusion is premature: both stress and segmental patterning in Huariapano can be modelled withi…
Accent in Uspanteko
Uspanteko (Guatemala; ∼2000 speakers) is an endangered K’ichean-branch Mayan language. It is unique among the K’ichean languages in having innovated a system of contrastive pitch accent, which operates alongside a separate system of non-contrastive stress. The prosody of Uspanteko is of general typological interest, given the relative scarcity of ‘mixed’ languages employing both stress and lexical pitch. Drawing from a descriptive grammar and fro…
