Prenasalized and postoralized consonants
Prenasalized and postoralized consonants
We propose that contour nasals come from two principal sources. One source, articulatorily driven, comes from underlying voiced stops, as nasal venting in order to sustain voicing. The other, perceptually driven, comes from underlying nasal consonants, as shielding next to con-trastively oral vowels. Although both processes are phonetically well motivated, we argue that the contoured allophones specifically arise in languages in which systemic or…
Onsets and syllable prominence in Umutina
In Umutina the distribution of main word stress is sensitive to the sonority degree of vowels within a two-syllable window at the right side of the word, a property which it shares with a number of other languages. What makes Umutina particularly interesting is the fact that low sonorant onsets in the word final syllable impede the retraction of stress to the prefinal syllable, even when the prefinal nucleus is more sonorant than the final one. A…
Sound Change and Analogy
No grego, em variadas situações, vogais curtas tornam-se longas para compensar a perda ou a ressilabificação de uma consoante adjacente. Neste artigo, discute-se o processo conhecido na literatura helenística como ‘alongamento compensatório secundário’. Essa regra afeta seqüências Vns intervocálicas e de final de palavra. Discute-se o reflexo sincrônico da seqüência Vns em dialetos do grego antigo e mostra-se que a variação dialetal pode ser expl…
The Typology of Voicing and Devoicing
This article provides empirical evidence against the claims that [voice] is a privative feature and that word-internal devoicing can occur in a language without word-final devoicing. The study of voice patterns in a number of languages shows that the feature value [– voice] although it is the unmarked value of the laryngeal feature [voice], can be active phonologically in a fashion parallel to the marked value [+ voice]. Across languages, voice a…
Consoantes palatais como geminadas fonológicas no Português Brasileiro
ln this paper we observe that 1ft! behaves in many respectsdifferently from Im,nI. Whereas Im,nl can be preceded by abranching rhyme, /fi/ cannot. When /fi/ occurs between the lasttwo vowels of a word that is at least trisyllabic, stress can never'skip' the prefinal syllable. On the other hand, when Im,nI occupythe onset of a word-final syllable, proparoxitonic stress does occur(ébano, ágamo). Also, lfi/ does not occur word-initially, in whichpos…
Variation, Change, and Phonological Theory
Mid-vowel alternations in the Brazilian Portuguese verb
The underlying system of consonants and vowels in Brazilian Portuguese (henceforth BP), together with the lexical and word-level phonological rules and the interactions between them, has been studied in great detail (see e.g. Harris 1974; Lopez 1979; Redenbarger 1981; Quicoli 1990). The detailed knowledge we possess in this area of BP phonology makes the language an excellent test case for evaluating theoretical innovations, especially since genu…
