Feet without stress
This article investigates whether high vowel deletion (HVD) in Québec French (QF) is conditioned by prosodic structure. In Prosodic Phonology, prosodic constituents are typically assumed to be universal. However, the universality of certain constituents, such as the foot, has been questioned for languages like French, where prominence is obligatory only at the phrase level. We probe this issue by analysing HVD, a lenition process that is sensitiv…
Phonological evidence for morpho-syntactic structure in Athapaskan
Athapaskan verbal morphology appears to violate the Mirror Principle in multiple ways and, thus, the ordering of affixes in these languages has resisted a straightforward analysis. We adopt a new morphological tool of Iterative Root Prefixation, which allows for a more direct mapping from syntax to morphology in languages of this profile. Apparent violations of affix ordering that remain, namely the puzzling placement of the transitive and causat…
Realization and representation of Nepali laryngeal contrasts
A longitudinal study of individual differences in the acquisition of new vowel contrasts
Footing is Not Always about Stress
The existence of foot structure in (Québec) French is disputed, since the only position of obligatory prominence in the language is the right edge of the phonological phrase. In this paper, we propose that a segmental process, namely, high vowel deletion (HVD), supports the existence of iterative iambic footing in Québec French. We report on a judgement task with auditorily-presented stimuli in which native speakers judged whether words with and …
In some Languages, /s/ is a Vowel
In clusters, /s/ fails to respect the phonotactic constraints of other obstruents; for example, /s/+stop, the optimal sC cluster, does not involve rising sonority. In research that adopts an articulated view of the syllable, the behaviour of /s/ has been captured through assigning it some special status, for example, as an appendix in sC clusters. No proposal along these lines contests the position that /s/ is an obstruent. However, what makes /s…
SC Clusters are (almost always) coda-initial
This article defends the position that syllables have internal structure, through an examination of sC clusters. Although perceptual factors will be shown to account for why it is sibilants that pattern in unexpected ways in clusters, it will be argued that the behavior of sC clusters cannot be explained solely by functional considerations. Among structural approaches to the syllable, it is argued that sC clusters are best analyzed as coda+onset,…
Prosodic structure and the representation of L2 functional morphology
Missing Inflection in L2 Acquisition
It is proposed that failure to consistently produce inflectional morphology by Mandarin-speaking learners of English is due to properties of the LI prosodic phonology which are transferred into the interlanguage grammar. While English requires inflection to be adjoined to the Prosodic Word, Mandarin does not permit this structure. Inflection in Mandarin is instead incorporated into the PWd of the stem to which it attaches. It is shown that Mandar…

Markedness in Right-edge Syllabification
The position that languages require both coda and onset options for the syllabification of word-final consonants is adopted. The latter option is further divided into languages where final consonants are onsets of empty-headed syllables and those where final consonants are syllabified through onset-nuclear (ON) sharing. ON sharing is reserved for languages where final consonants display fortition (overt release): the nucleus hosts the release of …

Dependency and Complementarity in Vowel Geometry
Individual variation and its relevance to a theory of phonological acquisition
Stoel-Gammon & Cooper (1984) have recently presented phonological analyses in this journal of three children acquiring English. Their general conclusion is that the three children are each following their own unique pattern of acquisition. This paper is a response to that conclusion. We first point out that such research needs to distinguish different possible causes of variation. We then go on to criticize the method of analysis they used, argui…
