1 . Since Meyer-Lübke, it has been a commonplace of Romance phonology that Proto-Romance voiceless stop consonants have, by and large, been preserved intact in word-initial position throughout the Romance territory, whereas intervocalically they have undergone lenition, becoming voiced (and in some regions also fricative and eventually dropping). The spirants /f/ and /s/ (for which there were no voiced counterparts in Proto-Romance) have likewise become voiced intervocalically. Similarly, voiced stops are normally preserved initially, but have remained intervocalically as plosives (with the exception of /-b-/> /-v-/) only in East Romance, and have become fricatives or have dropped in the West. It is convenient to refer to these West Romance developments by the general term ‘the West Romance sound-shift’, as exemplified in Table 1 (with ERomance examples from Italian and WRomance from Provençal)
