Vowel nasalisation in Scottish Gaelic: No evidence for incomplete neutralisation in initial mutation
The existence of incomplete neutralisation in connection with processes like final devoicing is well-known, but little work exists on typologically more uncommon morphological processes such as Celtic initial mutation. This paper reviews the small existing literature on incomplete neutralisation in initial mutation, showing that no convincing evidence has been found so far, and presents a new nasal airflow study on four speakers of Scottish Gaeli…
Metrical structure in Scottish Gaelic: Tonal accent, glottalisation and overlength
Scottish Gaelic displays a phonological contrast that is realised in different dialects by means of tonal accent, glottalisation or overlength. In line with existing analyses of similar oppositions in languages such as Swedish, Danish, Franconian and Estonian, I show that this contrast reflects a difference in metrical structure. Using the framework of Stratal Optimality Theory, I argue that this metrical contrast is derived, and results from fai…
Vowel Nasalisation in Scottish Gaelic: The Search for Paradigm Uniformity Effects in Fine-Grained Phonetic Detail
According to the modular feedforward architecture of grammar, the phonetics is sensitive only to the output of the phonology and is thus blind to morphological or lexical conditioning (Pierrehumbert 2002). However, this prediction is challenged by claims that fine-grained phonetic detail may display paradigm uniformity (PU) effects (Steriade 2000). In the present study I search for phonetic PU effects in vowel nasalisation in Scottish Gaelic by i…

“It's the biggest, it's the most extreme, it's the farthest away, it's the longest voyages, the riskiest kind of endeavor. And so it taps into something very basic about human existence and experience,” Nathaniel Philbrick tells us at the beginning of Ric Burns's majestic, tragic documentary Into the Deep—a sentiment that serves as an epigram for the film's appeal and that provides its few weak moments. Into the Deep tells the story of American w…
