Consonant harmony is a much rarer phenomenon than other types of harmony, and its typological properties are far less well known. Since consonant harmony often appears to involve assimilation at considerable distances, a proper understanding of its nature is crucial for theories of locality in segmental interactions. This dissertation presents a comprehensive cross-linguistic survey of consonant harmony systems. I show that the typology of such systems is quite varied as regards the properties that assimilate. In spite of this variation, they share a remarkably uniform typo- logical profile. For example, the default directionality is anticipatory, with progressive har- mony arising from stem-control effects. Furthermore, consonant harmony never displays segmental opacity, unlike other harmony types, and it is never influenced by prosodic factors or bounded by prosodic domains. Finally, consonant harmony is frequently sensitive to the relative similarity of the interacting consonants. On the basis of these properties, I develop a generalized analysis of consonant harmony within Optimality Theory. A key ingredient is interpreting consonant harmony as agreement (rather than spreading), arising through syntagmatic correspondence motivated by such factors as relative similarity. I show that absolute directionality poses fundamental 1 problems which previous OT analyses have not dealt with, and propose solving them by appealing to the notion of targeted constraints. A wide range of cases is analyzed in detail, illustrating different directionality patterns as well as subtle interactions between harmony and phonotactics. A further claim is that these agreement effects are based in the domain of speech planning. I show how consonant harmony systems share a number of characteristics with phonological speech errors. These include the bias towards anticipatory directionality, irrelevance of intervening segments, and similarity effects. A particularly striking parallel involves so-called Palatal Bias effects, robustly documented in research on speech errors, which also characterize coronal harmony processes. Parallels of this kind provide strong evidence in favor of analyzing consonant harmony as agreement at-a-distance, rather than spreading of features or articulatory gestures. 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS Acknowledgements ....................................................................................................iv Chapter 1 Introduction................................................................................................................ 1 1.1.

  • 1 Consonant Harmony in Child Language
    1 Consonant Harmony in Child Language: An Optimality-theoretic Account* Heather Goad Department of Linguistics, McGill University [email protected] Ms. dated 1995. Currently in press in S.J. Hannahs & M. Young-Scholten Focus on phonological acquisition. Amsterdam: John Benjamins, pp. 113-142. Abstract An analysis is provided of the consonant harmony (CH) patterns exhibited in the speech of one child, Amahl at Stage 1 (data from Smith 1973). It is argued that the standard rule-based analysis which involves Coronal underspecification and planar segregation is not tenable. First, the data reveal an underspecification paradox: coronal consonants are targets for CH and should thus be unspecified for Coronal. However, they also trigger harmony, in words where the targets are liquids. Second, the data are not consistent with planar segregation, as one harmony pattern is productive beyond the point when AmahlÕs grammar satisfies the requirements for planar segregation (set forth in McCarthy 1989). An alternative analysis is proposed within the constraint-based framework of Optimality Theory (Prince & Smolensky 1993). It is argued that CH follows from the relative ranking of constraints which parse place features and those which align features with the edges of the prosodic word. With the constraints responsible for parsing and aligning Labial and Dorsal ranked above those responsible for parsing and aligning Coronal, the dual behaviour of coronals can be captured. The effect of planar segregation follows from other independently motivated constraints which force alignment to be satisfied through copying of segmental material, not through spreading. Keywords: first language acquisition, consonant harmony, underspecification paradox 1.

  • 5 Phonology Florian Lionnet and Larry M
    5 Phonology Florian Lionnet and Larry M. Hyman 5.1. Introduction The historical relation between African and general phonology has been a mutu- ally beneficial one: the languages of the African continent provide some of the most interesting and, at times, unusual phonological phenomena, which have con- tributed to the development of phonology in quite central ways. This has been made possible by the careful descriptive work that has been done on African lan- guages, by linguists and non-linguists, and by Africanists and non-Africanists who have peeked in from time to time. Except for the click consonants of the Khoisan languages (which spill over onto some neighboring Bantu languages that have “borrowed” them), the phonological phenomena found in African languages are usually duplicated elsewhere on the globe, though not always in as concen- trated a fashion. The vast majority of African languages are tonal, and many also have vowel harmony (especially vowel height harmony and advanced tongue root [ATR] harmony). Not surprisingly, then, African languages have figured dispro- portionately in theoretical treatments of these two phenomena. On the other hand, if there is a phonological property where African languages are underrepresented, it would have to be stress systems – which rarely, if ever, achieve the complexity found in other (mostly non-tonal) languages. However, it should be noted that the languages of Africa have contributed significantly to virtually every other aspect of general phonology, and that the various developments of phonological theory have in turn often greatly contributed to a better understanding of the phonologies of African languages. Given the considerable diversity of the properties found in different parts of the continent, as well as in different genetic groups or areas, it will not be possible to provide a complete account of the phonological phenomena typically found in African languages, overviews of which are available in such works as Creissels (1994) and Clements (2000).

This research paradigm has traditionally tended to focus on Western industrialized communities and large world languages and dialects, leaving many unanswered questions about lesser- studied indigenous minority communities.

  • LT3212 Phonetics Assignment 4 Mavis, Wong Chak Yin
    LT3212 Phonetics Assignment 4 Mavis, Wong Chak Yin Essay Title: The sound system of Japanese This essay aims to introduce the sound system of Japanese, including the inventories of consonants, vowels, and diphthongs. The phonological variations of the sound segments in different phonetic environments are also included. For the illustration, word examples are given and they are presented in the following format: [IPA] (Romaji: “meaning”). Consonants In Japanese, there are 14 core consonants, and some of them have a lot of allophonic variations. The various types of consonants classified with respect to their manner of articulation are presented as follows. Stop Japanese has six oral stops or plosives, /p b t d k g/, which are classified into three place categories, bilabial, alveolar, and velar, as listed below. In each place category, there is a pair of plosives with the contrast in voicing. /p/ = a voiceless bilabial plosive [p]: [ippai] (ippai: “A cup of”) /b/ = a voiced bilabial plosive [b]: [baɴ] (ban: “Night”) /t/ = a voiceless alveolar plosive [t]: [oto̞ ːto̞ ] (ototo: “Brother”) /d/ = a voiced alveolar plosive [d]: [to̞ mo̞ datɕi] (tomodachi: “Friend”) /k/ = a voiceless velar plosive [k]: [kaiɰa] (kaiwa: “Conversation”) /g/ = a voiced velar plosive [g]: [ɡakɯβsai] (gakusai: “Student”) Phonetically, Japanese also has a glottal stop [ʔ] which is commonly produced to separate the neighboring vowels occurring in different syllables. This phonological phenomenon is known as ‘glottal stop insertion’. The glottal stop may be realized as a pause, which is used to indicate the beginning or the end of an utterance. For instance, the word “Japanese money” is actually pronounced as [ʔe̞ ɴ], instead of [je̞ ɴ], and the pronunciation of “¥15” is [dʑɯβːɡo̞ ʔe̞ ɴ].

  • A Typology of Consonant Agreement As Correspondence
    A TYPOLOGY OF CONSONANT AGREEMENT AS CORRESPONDENCE SHARON ROSE RACHEL WALKER University of California, San Diego University of Southern California This article presents a typology of consonant harmony or LONG DISTANCE CONSONANT AGREEMENT that is analyzed as arisingthroughcorrespondence relations between consonants rather than feature spreading. The model covers a range of agreement patterns (nasal, laryngeal, liquid, coronal, dorsal) and offers several advantages. Similarity of agreeing consonants is central to the typology and is incorporated directly into the constraints drivingcorrespondence. Agreementby correspon- dence without feature spreadingcaptures the neutrality of interveningsegments,which neither block nor undergo. Case studies of laryngeal agreement and nasal agreement are presented, demon- stratingthe model’s capacity to capture varyingdegreesof similarity crosslinguistically.* 1. INTRODUCTION. The action at a distance that is characteristic of CONSONANT HAR- MONIES stands as a pivotal problem to be addressed by phonological theory. Consider the nasal alternations in the Bantu language, Kikongo (Meinhof 1932, Dereau 1955, Webb 1965, Ao 1991, Odden 1994, Piggott 1996). In this language, the voiced stop in the suffix [-idi] in la is realized as [ini] in 1b when preceded by a nasal consonant at any distance in the stem constituent, consistingof root and suffixes. (1) a. m-[bud-idi]stem ‘I hit’ b. tu-[kun-ini]stem ‘we planted’ n-[suk-idi]stem ‘I washed’ tu-[nik-ini]stem ‘we ground’ In addition to the alternation in 1, there are no Kikongo roots containing a nasal followed by a voiced stop, confirmingthat nasal harmony or AGREEMENT, as we term it, also holds at the root level as a MORPHEME STRUCTURE CONSTRAINT (MSC).

  • Final Pre-Print. Version 7.0
    Final pre-print. Version 7.0. German, and conversely for /ts/, but seventy years after Trubetzkoy (1939) dis- cussed it, there is still no unanimity among phonologists. Phonologists studying Clicks, Concurrency, and Khoisan German range from those who admit no affricates at all, to those admit every phonetic affricate as a phonological affricate – see Wiese (2000) for a brief re- view. This article, on the other hand, is concerned with the word LINEAR, which is Julian Bradfield part of the usual understanding of SEGMENT. I claim that the restriction to lin- earity is an undue restriction on the definitions of segment (and hence phoneme), University of Edinburgh and that in some languages, entities traditionally viewed as single segments should be viewed as clusters. The difference is that the clusters are concurrent, rather than sequential. To put the thesis in a sentence, sometimes a co-articulated Abstract: I propose that the notions of segment and phoneme be en- segment really is better seen as two articulated co-segments. riched to allow, even in classical theories, some concurrent clustering. The notion of concurrent units is already commonplace in certain situations; My main application is the Khoisan language !Xóõ, where by treating clicks as phonemes concurrent with phonemic accompaniments, the in- languages with lexical tone are viewed as placing tones atop segmental units, ventory size is radically reduced, so solving the problems of many un- whether vowels, syllables or words, and sign languages often compose articu- supported contrasts. I show also how phonological processes of !Xóõ lations from each hand – though there one can argue about whether the com- can be described more elegantly in this setting, and provide support position belongs in the ‘phonology’.

NEW DATA ON THE DELATERALIZATION OF ∆AD AND ITS MERGER WITH ÅA} IN CLASSICAL ARABIC: CONTRIBUTIONS FROM OLD SOUTH ARABIC AND THE EARLIEST ISLAMIC TEXTS ON ∆ / Å MINIMAL PAIRS JONATHAN A.C. BROWN UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON Abstract The history of the phoneme ∂ad and its merger with the phoneme Âa’ has proven enigmatic. By presenting data from Old South Arabian speech communities and lexical data from the Islamic tradition, this article brackets a period of ∂ad / Âa’ free variation between the fourth and mid-eighth centuries CE. These data support the theory that the pre-Islamic and early Islamic Arabic speech community was divided into two segments in respect to the ∂ad / Âa’ relationship: a group that pronounced both separately and produced the lettered tradition of the Qur’an, and some that did not distinguish between the two phonemes. This article presents data from the earliest Arabic texts on ∂ad / Âa’ minimal pairs, those of Abu ¨Umar al-Zahid (d. 345/957) and al-∑aÌib Isma¨il Ibn ¨Abbad (d. 385/995). These texts also pro- vide glimpses into how the Islamic lexical tradition explained the his- torical link between the two phonemes. Introduction1 Charting the history of the enigmatic phoneme ∂ad (∂) in Arabic, and tracing its relationship with the phoneme Âa’ (Â) has presented one of the most interesting and challenging questions in Arabic his- torical linguistics.
