Mora augmentation in Lowland East Cushitic
Moras play an important role in Lowland East Cushitic tone/accent assignment, but their contributions elsewhere in these languages’ grammars are not well established. This paper reports on the results of a survey of languages in this sub-group, showing two types of mora augmentation (i.e., the addition of a mora), both of which primarily involve vocalic moras. In some instances, the goal of augmentation is to satisfy the language’s overarching me…
Reporting on Health Care and Social Service Provider Approaches to Promoting Alcohol Abstinence During Pregnancy
Despite the known detrimental health effects of alcohol use during pregnancy, there are still health care (HCP) and social service providers (SSP) who do not promote complete abstinence. The purpose of this study was to explore the current practices of HCPs and SSPs when discussing alcohol use during pregnancy, and to understand their rationale for their specific recommendations. An online survey was completed by 1123 HCPs (n = 588) and SSPs (n =…
Exploring acoustic overlaps in Djibouti Somali
Somali is well known to exhibit vowel harmony (Armstrong 1934), but linguists know remarkably little about how the system is implemented. Most presume that harmonic oppositions involve the tongue root and analyze the system relative to the feature [ ATR ], though the phonetic implementation of the contrast is complicated by a “quirky” (Krämer 2008) vocalic system. Reports also indicate that harmonic alternations vary between speakers and dialects…
Jarawan Numerals
This article provides an overview of the numeral systems of Jarawan languages, an understudied group of languages spoken in Nigeria, and formerly in Cameroon. Lexical patterns and morphological micropatterns observed within this subset of the lexicon have implications for our understanding of Jarawan history, supporting the idea that there were two migrations of Jarawan speakers from Cameroon into Nigeria and suggesting that these migrations may …
On the link between onset clusters and codas in Mbat (Jarawan Bantu)
Harmony and disharmony in Mbat (Jarawan Bantu) verbs
This paper is the first to describe aspects of the vocalic phonology of Mbat, a Jarawan Bantu language. Mbat exhibits a series of vowel-consonant interactions in its verbs that sometimes yield height harmony between a stem and suffixal vowel. Via this stem-controlled phenomenon, high vowels (i, u, ɪ, ʊ) harmonize across a stem-final non-dorsal sonorant while the low vowel (a) harmonizes across any stem-final dorsal. Under other conditions, these …
On the morphophonology of domains in Somali verbs and nouns
Morphemes involved in the formation of Somali verbs and nouns are, in most instances, clearly individuated into categories corresponding to their role in word formation. Verbs contain a base, derivational extensions, inflectional affixes, and clitics that attach in a fixed order. Nouns also contain a base and derivational affixes, but little inflectional morphology. Indeed, both parts of speech have similar morphological templates in Somali, but …

Somali wordhood and its relationship to prosodic structure
The foot domain in Bambara
Recent research has shed new light on the role and characteristics of prosodic domains, including segmental and tonal feet, in an array of languages. This research extends to African languages, but much work remains to be done. Tonal African languages are particularly problematic, as correlates of stress or metrical prominence are often not well defined or are absent altogether. In addition, descriptive work may omit details of the structure and …
Luyia tone melodies
Cet article offre une vue d’ensemble des mélodies tonales verbales du luyia, groupe de langues bantu parlées au Kenya et en Ouganda. La tonologie luyia est diversifiée, et présente trois types de systèmes tonals verbaux qualifiés respectivement de «conservateur » , «prévisible » , et «réversif » . Nous illustrons les caractéristiques tonales générales de chaque type de système par une variété linguistique représentative, en décrivant les interact…
On the role of margin phonotactics in Colloquial Bamana complex syllables
The coronal fricative problem
On the interaction of deaffrication and consonant harmony
Error patterns in children's phonological development are often described as simplifying processes that can interact with one another with different consequences. Some interactions limit the applicability of an error pattern, and others extend it to more words. Theories predict that error patterns interact to their full potential. While specific interactions have been documented for certain pairs of processes, no developmental study has shown tha…
Voice contrast and culumative faithfulness in Luwanga nouns
Luwanga has a seemingly allophonic surface distribution of voiced and voiceless obstruents. This commonplace distribution typically requires the proposition that segments are specified as either [±voice] underlyingly, with their counterparts derived via phonological rule. Drawing evidence from consonant alternations in Class 9/10 nouns and their derivatives, obstruents contrast for [voice], at least in stem-initial position. Elsewhere, voice is n…
On the anatomy of a chain shift
Phonological chain shifts have been the focus of many theoretical, developmental, and clinical concerns. This paper considers an overlooked property of the problem by focusing on the typological properties of the widely attested 's > θ > f' chain shift involving the processes of Labialization and Dentalization in early phonological development. Findings are reported from a cross-sectional study of 234 children (ages 3 years; 0 months-7;9) with fu…
