Englishization of Yoruba phonology
This paper is based on a doctoral thesis, The phonological influence of English upon Yoruba, prepared at the Department of Phonetics and Linguistics, University College London. Extensive fieldwork was carried out in Nigeria and London, at the end of which a large corpus of English loanwords was compiled. Subjects for the investigation were carefully selected to include a monolingual control group whose usage of loans cannot be attributed to code-…
Notes on the nasal consonants of Yoruba
Taking them one by one, it is generally agreed that [ ] are the allophones of /w r j/ occurring only before nasal vowels. Ward (1952) noticed the nasalization of these approximants before nasal vowels but was rather confused by their orthographic forms. We have observed that all instances of [ɲ] occur when [j] is followed by a nasal vowel. This non-syllabic palatal nasal is therefore an allophone of /j/ and it is different from the syllabic one w…
