The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, The Red-headed League. (1891) Acknowledgements I would like to dedicate the very first lines of this thesis to my two supervisors, Haike Jacobs and Bernard Laks. Haike, thank you for giving me the freedom to develop my own interests and insights, but also for being there with your enlightening comments when I felt lost or when I was complicating things too much. I hope we can spend our coffee breaks together for a long time! I am very grateful to my long-distance supervisor Bernard Laks for his detailed feedback, for not making me forget some classic references and for fruitful discussions in Paris. I also wish to express my gratitude to the members of my reading committee for their critical and useful comments. It goes without saying that I am extremely thankful to the Nederlandse Organisatie voor Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek (NWO) for awarding me a Toptalent grant (project no. 021.002.0250), providing the funding for this PhD project. Without the help of many people, this thesis would never have been the one that it has now become. I am of course the only person to blame for the errors you may come across. I would like to thank the members of the Centre for Language Studies (CLS) of the Radboud University for their help on various points. I am indebted to Joop Kerkhoff for some phonetic advice and for designing PRAAT scripts. I owe a big thank you to the LiTS colleagues (old and new style) for their helpful feedback, and I particularly want to thank Erwin Komen, with whom I have been co-organizing the LiTS talks, for the enjoyable collaboration. Un très grand merci to the members of the PFC project for helping me solve practical issues, for their useful comments on my presentations at various stages of my project, but foremost for creating such a stimulating environment. I absolutely enjoyed working in the department of Romance languages. Thanks to all colleagues for their support and for showing interest in what I was doing. Robbie van Gerwen helped me judge puzzling French recordings, and I am grateful to Dominique Nouveau for useful discussions on present-day phenomena in her mother tongue. The fifth floor of the Erasmus building would never have been so nice without having Marc Smeets and Isabelle Thibaudeau around. Thanks for everything, “dudes”! I will also never forget the recurring viii - Acknowledgements discussions on phonology and literature (and their potential interface) with Franc Schuerewegen. Without my fellow PhD buddies, writing this thesis would definitely have been less fun. Inge Alferink, Eva D‟hondt and Rosanne Hebing, thank you for sharing numerous meals, drinks and what not: in short, thanks for so many moments discussing serious and less serious business. I guess it is best not to elaborate on staples, weird German vocabulary, attics or mutated fairy tale characters. Last, but certainly not least, I wish to thank a number of people who are not directly related to daily-university-life. I would like to thank my parents for their support, but also for always letting me keep my feet on the ground and for making me remember that there is more to life than this thesis. Dorine, thank you for helping me check frequency counts on Sunday afternoons. Lieke, thanks for correcting my English. Luc, I am eternally grateful for recovering this thesis from my damaged USB stick. And the very last thank you goes to my friends: I am very happy to be surrounded by such a bunch of nice people!

Quileute is spoken at present by 180 individuals at the mouth of the Quileute river, on the northwestern coast of the state of Washington. About 15 miles further south, at the mouth of the Hoh river, there survive a few members of the Hoh tribe, whose speech, according to several Quileute informants, differs only slightly from theirs. Quileute has always been affihated with Chemakum, the language once spoken in the same state near Port Townsend. The writer had the opportunity of working for a few hours with the last survivor of the Chemakum tribe, Luise Webster. A study of the material collected previously by Professor Boas^, together with the scanty data recorded on this occasion, confirms the close relationship which has been claimed for these two languages.

  • Using 'North Wind and the Sun' Texts to Sample Phoneme Inventories
    Blowing in the wind: Using ‘North Wind and the Sun’ texts to sample phoneme inventories Louise Baird ARC Centre of Excellence for the Dynamics of Language, The Australian National University [email protected] Nicholas Evans ARC Centre of Excellence for the Dynamics of Language, The Australian National University [email protected] Simon J. Greenhill ARC Centre of Excellence for the Dynamics of Language, The Australian National University & Department of Linguistic and Cultural Evolution, Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History [email protected] Language documentation faces a persistent and pervasive problem: How much material is enough to represent a language fully? How much text would we need to sample the full phoneme inventory of a language? In the phonetic/phonemic domain, what proportion of the phoneme inventory can we expect to sample in a text of a given length? Answering these questions in a quantifiable way is tricky, but asking them is necessary. The cumulative col- lection of Illustrative Texts published in the Illustration series in this journal over more than four decades (mostly renditions of the ‘North Wind and the Sun’) gives us an ideal dataset for pursuing these questions. Here we investigate a tractable subset of the above questions, namely: What proportion of a language’s phoneme inventory do these texts enable us to recover, in the minimal sense of having at least one allophone of each phoneme? We find that, even with this low bar, only three languages (Modern Greek, Shipibo and the Treger dialect of Breton) attest all phonemes in these texts.

  • 1 Allomorphy in Gilaki
    Allomorphy in Gilaki: an Optimality Theoretic approach Gregory Antono JAL401, University of Toronto Allomorphy appears to be a common occurrence in Gilaki, where there are stem changes as a result of affixation or verbal inflection, and various forms for certain affixes. Through an analysis based on the Optimality Theory (OT) framework (Prince and Smolensky 2004), this study seeks to examine the phonological constraints and constraint ranking involved in Gilaki allomorphy, focusing on the phonologically-conditioned allomorphs of the plural morpheme -ʃɑn and the negative affix –nV-. The plural morpheme -ʃɑn can surface as several forms like -ɑn and –jɑn: (1) tup-ɔ-ʃanə (2) tup-ɑn ball-ɔ-PL ball-PL balls balls (3) kor-ɑn (4) putʃɑ-jɑn girl-PL cat-PL girls cats The negative bound morpheme, –nV-, surfaces with varying vowels, such as nɔ-, nɪ-, or neɪ-. (5) nɔ-dʊvas-əm/ (6) mo nɪʃkæstʌm NEG.run.1SG 1.SG break.NEG did not run I did not break (7) mo neɪmijaɾʌm/ (8) nɔ-ʃɔn-ɔm/ 1.S NEG.die.1SG NEG.go.1SG I did not die not go An Optimality Theoretic approach to allomorphy has been taken by many, such as Rubach and Booij (2001) on Polish iotation, Anderson on phonologically conditioned allomorphy in Surmiran (2008), and Udammadu (2017) on the Igbo language. For this study, translation tasks are carried out with the Gilaki consultant to elicit more plural and negation data, using various simple storyboards that contain singular and plural subjects (animals), as well as dialogue that would elicit the negation affix. The focus of this elicitation is to observe how the affixes vary depending on the stem.

A Corpus Phonetic Study of Contemporary Persian Vowels in Casual Speech Abstract Contemporary Iranian Persian is described as having a six vowel system; however, there is currently very little work that characterizes the exact nature of these vowels. Previous works posit substantially different vowel spaces, and conflicting accounts of the extent ot which historical length distinctions are still relevant in Persian -- these distinctions then affect phonological theorizing, especially with regards to vocalic assimilation (sometimes referred to as "vowel harmony"). This study uses a corpus of over 60 hours of casual telephone speech among 104 speakers to describe the vowels of Persian. It is demonstrated that historical length distinctions no longer obtain, that previous descriptions of the vowel space of Persian are no longer necessarily accurate, and that the low back vowel may no longer be a steady state vowel for all speakers nor as low or as rounded as previously described.

  • Relativized Contiguity: Part II: Contiguity and Metrical Prosody”
    RELATIVIZED CONTIGUITY Part I: Contiguity and Syllabic Prosody* Greg Lamontagne University of British Columbia Often processes which truncate or augment a string are simply reflections of prosodic organization. Principles of syllabification, for example, are the major catalyst for the string modifications in (1): In (1a), a consonant deletes due to a prohibition on syllable Codas (see Steriade, 1982; Prince, 1984; Levin, 1985; Itô, 1986, ‘89; etc.); in (1b) a vowel deletes due to a prohibition on Onsetless syllables (see Prince & Smolensky, 1993; McCarthy & Prince, 1993; Rosenthall, 1994; Lamontagne and Rosenthall, 1996; etc.); in (1c), a vowel shortens due to a restriction on syllable size- - i.e., the two mora max. limit (see McCarthy & Prince ,1986; Myers ,1987; Broselow,1992; Tranel, 1992; Sherer, 199; etc.); and finally, in (1d), a vowel is inserted to provide a syllable for the stray consonant C’ (see Broselow, 1980, ‘82, ‘92; Selkirk, 1981; Steriade, 1982; Itô, 1986, ‘89; Mester & Padgett, 1994; etc.)1 . *This is a first installment in a series of articles investigating the effects of contiguity restrictions in Optimality Theoretic grammars. The second part (Lamontagne, in progress) investigates the effects of contiguity restrictions on metrical prosody, while a third part (Lamontagne & Rosenthall, 1996) looks at various segmental fusion processes. I would like to thank audiences at Rutgers University and the University of Massachusetts at Amherst for insightful comments on various parts of this work. Thanks go to John Alderete, Eric Bakovic, John McCarthy, Alan Prince, Samuel Rosenthall, Lisa Selkirk, and Tom Wilson for discussions of the issues raised here. Of course I alone am responsible for any errors or omissions in this work.

  • An Optimality-Theoretic Approach to French H Aspiré Words1
    To appear in: Féry, Caroline / Kügler, Frank / van de Vijver, Ruben (eds.): Variation and Gradience in Pho- netics and Phonology. - Berlin: Mouton de Gruyter. Christoph Gabriel & Trudel Meisenburg (Osnabrück) Silent onsets? An optimality-theoretic approach to French h aspiré words1 This paper reexamines one of the classical problems of French phonology: the phenomenon of h aspiré words (Fouché 1959, Klein 1963, Rothe 1978, Encrevé 1988). These vowel initial items display a special behavior with respect to typical phonological processes of French, such as enchaînement, liaison, and élision. Based on the analysis of experimental data we investigate the phonetic realizations of these items and propose an optimality- theoretic (OT) approach in order to account for this phenomenon as well as for the variation encountered in our data. The paper is organized as follows: We start with an overview of the relevant facts from a rather descriptive point of view (section 1) before presenting the data analyzed for the pre- sent study (section 2). While section 3 reviews selected non OT approaches to French h aspiré words, section 4 goes into the problem of variation from an optimality-theoretic perspective: We give an overview of the proposals under discussion before putting forward our own account that largely relies on the model of Stochastic OT developed by Boersma/Hayes (2001). Section 5, finally, offers some concluding remarks. 1 The phenomenon One of the characteristics of French phonology lies within the strong tendency to create regular CV sequences and to avoid hiatus (V.V) through the application of phonological processes such as enchaînement (syllabification of a fixed final consonant into the empty onset position of the following word, 1.a), liaison (surfacing of a latent final consonant into the onset position of the following word, 2.a) and élision (deletion of certain vowels in pre- vocalic position, 3.a).

  • Syllabification and Syllable Changing Rules in French* Roland Noske University Of'amsterdam/'Z
    Syllabification and Syllable Changing Rules in French* Roland Noske University of'Amsterdam/'Z. W. O. 0. 1NTRODUCTION In this paper, a proposal will be formulated concerning the assignment of syllable structure in French. It will be proposed that syllabification takes place according to the following principles: - the prohibition against violating the notion of 'possible French syl­ lable' - the tendency to achieve the lowest possible syllabic markedness. A new concept of syllabic markedness will be developed, which also takes into account the number of syllables of a given form. Then, a principled account will be given concerning two syllable chang­ ing processes in French, viz. the deletion of schwa and the change of high vowels into glides. It will be shown that these processes, which take place in apparently disparate contexts, can be accounted for in a principled and natural way if one assumes that they are governed by precisely the same conditions as those that govern syllabification, viz. the prohibition against violating the notion of 'possible French syllable' and the tendency to achieve the lowest possible syllabic markedness. In section 1, a proposal for syllabification will be formulated. The notion of 'possible French syllable' will be expressed by means of a syl­ lable template and a set of conditions on the cooccurrence of segments. There will be several digressions in order to account for apparent counter- examples to my proposal. In section 2, the following two rules will be formulated accounting for the processes of schwa-deletion and the change of high vowels into glides (semivocalization): (1) Schwa-Deletion 3 -»• 0 * This paper is a revised version of Noske (1981).

It studies two main varieties of Sorani spoken in Iraq which are Slemani and Hawler. Since the phonology of SK is one of the least studied areas in Kurdish linguistics and the available studies provide different accounts of its segments, I start by introducing the segmental system of the SK dialect group.
