  • Tone sandhi in Nuosu Yi at the interface

    Open AccessSeunghun J Lee, Hong ShenARTICLELinguistics of the Tibeto-Burman…2024

    Nuosu Yi, a Tibeto-Burman language, has a tone sandhi pattern, where a lexical [ 33 ] -tone is realized as [ 44 ]-tone on the surface. This tone sandhi pattern in Nuosu Yi is described as having a “weak phonological status ( Gerner, 2013 : 28)”. In this study, we confirm this observation and further show the role of phonological length in the tone sandhi patterns. A closer examination of the sandhi contexts, however, reveals an intricate interpla…

  • Xitsonga segmental phonology

    Open AccessCrous M Hlungwani, Seunghun J Lee et al.ARTICLELanguage and Linguistics Compass2024

    Xitsonga, a southern Bantu language (S53) spoken in South Africa, possesses rich phonological patterns that have been underreported in the literature. This paper aims to provide an overview of the phonology of Xitsonga with a focus on segmental phonology, building up on existing literature. The consonants of Xitsonga show a four‐way laryngeal system with phonation contrast in sonorants and several lateral consonants. These consonants display alte…

  • The Interaction Between Tone and Duration in Du’an Zhuang

    Open AccessJ Perkins, Seunghun J Lee et al.ARTICLEJournal of the International…2024References: 2

    This research investigates the tone system of an understudied language, Du’an Zhuang and its interaction with duration. Cross-linguistically, tones tend to be less complex in shorter duration contexts. In Du’an Zhuang, syllable type provides these contexts: There are six contrastive tones among unchecked syllables with longer rhyme duration, but this is reduced to four tones in shorter duration checked syllables. Acoustic analyses of f0 and durat…

  • The Non-Coalescence of /h/ and Incomplete Neutralization in South Jeolla Korean

    Open AccessSeunghun J Lee, Julián Villegas et al.ARTICLELanguage and Speech2023References: 40

    This study examines articulatory and acoustic data in order to investigate the non-coalescence of /h/ in South Jeolla. Seoul Korean speakers produce /pap/ “rice” followed by /hana/ “one” as [pa.p h a.na] with the coalescence of /p/ and /h/; this is called an aspiration merger. In South Jeolla Korean, this merger may be blocked, as in cases where speakers produce /pap+hana/ as [pa.ba.na]. Electroglottographic (EGG) data indicate the existence of t…

  • Recursivity and Focus in the Prosody of Xitsonga DPs

    Open AccessJ Lee, Seunghun J Lee et al.ARTICLELanguages2023References: 23

    This paper explores the prosodic patterns of complex DP structures in Xitsonga by looking at penultimate lengthening in DPs with marked and unmarked word orders of different types. We discuss the underlying syntactic structures and prosodic realizations of Xitsonga DPs. We are particularly interested in the way in which recursion applies in the Xitsonga DP, where it surfaces in DPs with multiple modifiers of the same or different categories that …

  • Truncation in message-oriented phonology

    Shigeto Kawahara, Seunghun J LeeARTICLELinguistics Vanguard2018

    This paper analyzes the vocative truncation pattern in Korean from the viewpoint of Message-Oriented Phonology (MOP), which capitalizes on the idea that sound patterns are governed by a principle that makes message transfer effective. In the traditional naming pattern, Korean first names consist of a generation marker and a unique portion, and the order between these two elements alternates between generations. To derive vocative forms, the gener…

  • Constituency in sentence phonology

    Open AccessElisabeth Selkirk, Seunghun J LeeARTICLEPhonology2015Cited by: 8References: 7

    Some general questions about the role of constituency in sentence phonology and phonetics have informed research since Chomsky & Halle (1968) first put forward the hypothesis that the phonological representation of a sentence is in part a function of its syntactic representation

  • Basaá

    Open AccessEmmanuel-Moselly Makasso, J Lee et al.ARTICLEJournal of the International…2015Cited by: 2References: 5

    Basaá [ɓàsː] is spoken by 282,000 people in the forest area located in the South, Centre and Littoral regions of Cameroon (based on 1982 Ethnologue record; Lewis 2009). Basaá is a narrow Bantu language in the Niger-Congo language family, and it is classified as A43 (Guthrie 1967-71, A43a in Maho 2009). The ISO code of Basaá is bas (Lewis 2009
