Modelling Diasystemic Inflexion: Verb Morphology in the Croissant
Modelling diasystemic inflexion: Verb morphology in the Croissant linguistique Maximilien Guérin Louise Esher Jean Léo Léonard Sylvain Loiseau CNRS – LLACAN CNRS - CLLE-ERSS Université Montpellier 3 Université Paris 13 (UMR 8135) (UMR 5263) & Dipralang (EA 739) & LACITO (UMR 7107) 1 Introduction Our paper explores how tools developed for the formal modelling of individual inflexional systems may be fruitfully applied to the description of inflexion in a dialect continuum or DIASYSTEM. We take as our case study the area of central France termed the CROISSANT LINGUISTIQUE (literally, ‘Linguistic Crescent’; Tourtoulon & Bringuier 1876, Brun-Trigaud 1990), usually characterized as a transitional zone between northern Gallo-Romance (Oïl) varieties and southern Gallo-Romance (Occitan) varieties. For each of six survey points within the Croissant area, and a seventh, Occitan, survey point as a comparator, we analyse the inflexional morphology of the verb, using two principal formalizations: PARADIGM FUNCTION MORPHOLOGY (Stump 2001, 2016, Stump & Finkel 2013, Bonami & Stump 2016) and STEM SPACES (Bonami & Boyé 2002, 2003, 2014, Boyé 2011). By these means, we obtain schemas highlighting the key principles of paradigm organization in each individual variety. Comparison of the schemas reveals structural continuities and discontinuities within the Croissant dialect continuum itself, and between the Croissant dialect continuum and neighbouring varieties. 2 Data Seven localities, shown in Figure 1, were chosen to represent the study area: Dompierre-les- -

AES TRACT The thesis is an investigation of the"~t1as~ing;'<stico - EknogrLfico de Andalucla/* by 14anuel Alvar and co-authors. The main objective of the study is the comparison of several dialects on the basis of a diasystem. For this purpose five varieties were chosen, four of them spoken in a restricted region of Andalucl/s and the fifth in the extreme eastern corner of the province. The system of partial dissimilarities was discussed on the basis of 4 tables of correspondences which led to questions of interdialectal communication. Inferences were made from the tables as to when communi- cation problems might arise between speakers of different varieties of Andaluc<a. The latter inferences should be tested in primary research. iii. I wish to thank at this point my graduate advisors, especially Dr. T.W. Kim,for assistance in the production of my thesis.

In this regard he is contrasted with a second Workington man, of identical background, and their status as typical Workington speakex^s is established by means of a questionnaire. Attention is limited to diffex'ing phonetic realisations of the same vowel phonemes, noted impressionistically and supported by accompanying acoustic analysis. Exemplification is provided by a tape-recording of the same passage spoken by the two informants with a transcription of the passage showing linguistic innovation. -
On the Phonetic Nature of the Latin R
Eruditio Antiqua 5 (2013) : 21-29 ON THE PHONETIC NATURE OF THE LATIN R LUCIE PULTROVÁ CHARLES UNIVERSITY PRAGUE Abstract The article aims to answer the question of what evidence we have for the assertion repeated in modern textbooks concerned with Latin phonetics, namely that the Latin r was the so called alveolar trill or vibrant [r], such as e.g. the Italian r. The testimony of Latin authors is ambiguous: there is the evidence in support of this explanation, but also that testifying rather to the contrary. The sound changes related to the sound r in Latin afford evidence of the Latin r having indeed been alveolar, but more likely alveolar tap/flap than trill. Résumé L’article cherche à réunir les preuves que nous possédons pour la détermination du r latin en tant qu’une vibrante alvéolaire, ainsi que le r italien par exemple, une affirmation répétée dans des outils modernes traitant la phonétique latine. Les témoignages des auteurs antiques ne sont pas univoques : il y a des preuves qui soutiennent cette théorie, néanmoins d’autres tendent à la réfuter. Des changements phonétiques liés au phonème r démontrent que le r latin fut réellement alvéolaire, mais qu’il s’agissait plutôt d’une consonne battue que d’une vibrante. www.eruditio-antiqua.mom.fr LUCIE PULTROVÁ ON THE PHONETIC NATURE OF THE LATIN R The letter R of Latin alphabet denotes various phonetic entities generally called “rhotic consonants”. Some types of rhotic consonants are quite distant and it is not easy to define the one characteristic feature common to all rhotic consonants. -
Building a Universal Phonetic Model for Zero-Resource Languages
Building a Universal Phonetic Model for Zero-Resource Languages Paul Moore MInf Project (Part 2) Interim Report Master of Informatics School of Informatics University of Edinburgh 2020 3 Abstract Being able to predict phones from speech is a challenge in and of itself, but what about unseen phones from different languages? In this project, work was done towards building precisely this kind of universal phonetic model. Using the GlobalPhone language corpus, phones’ articulatory features, a recurrent neu- ral network, open-source libraries, and an innovative prediction system, a model was created to predict phones based on their features alone. The results show promise, especially for using these models on languages within the same family. 4 Acknowledgements Once again, a huge thank you to Steve Renals, my supervisor, for all his assistance. I greatly appreciated his practical advice and reasoning when I got stuck, or things seemed overwhelming, and I’m very thankful that he endorsed this project. I’m immensely grateful for the support my family and friends have provided in the good times and bad throughout my studies at university. A big shout-out to my flatmates Hamish, Mark, Stephen and Iain for the fun and laugh- ter they contributed this year. I’m especially grateful to Hamish for being around dur- ing the isolation from Coronavirus and for helping me out in so many practical ways when I needed time to work on this project. Lastly, I wish to thank Jesus Christ, my Saviour and my Lord, who keeps all these things in their proper perspective, and gives me strength each day. -

Not all those who wander are lost. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express my appreciation to Dr. Hortènsia Curell, not only for her help and support during these difficult months that I have been abroad, but also for giving me the opportunity and the freedom to explore other fascinating linguistic areas, such as glossopoeia. I would also like to thank my friends and family for always pushing me to go one step further and to think outside the box. I discovered the universe of Middle-Earth during my childhood, and for that reason, it will always have a special place in my heart. Before going to bed, my father used to read The Hobbit to me. I remember being mesmerized by the story and the characters, and even now, as an adult, I am still mesmerized by what J.R.R. Tolkien created. TABLE OF CONTENTS 1.

Metathesis in Judeo-Spanish Consonant Clusters
Metathesis in Judeo-Spanish Consonant Clusters Travis G. Bradley UC Davis 1. Introduction Judeo-Spanish (JS) denotes those varieties of Spanish preserved by the Sephardic Jews who were expelled from Spain in 1492 and have emigrated throughout Europe, North Africa, the Middle East, and the United States. Some descriptions of JS emphasize its conservative, archaic nature, highlighting its similarities to Old Spanish (OS), while other research points up the novel characteristics that distinguish JS from both OS and other varieties of Modern Spanish (MS). Despite its status as an endangered language due to the lack of monolingual speakers and to the ever decreasing number of fluent speakers under the age of fifty-five (T. Harris 1994), modern JS remains underrepresented in the most recent work on Ibero-Romance phonetics and phonology (although see Bradley and Delforge 2006 on sibilant voicing and rhotics in Istanbul JS). One phonological phenomenon of JS in which both retention and innovation can be observed is consonant metathesis. This paper examines two types of productive metathesis in JS consonant clusters, e.g., daldo < dadlo ‘give (PL.) it’ and tadre < tarde ‘late, afternoon’. Holt (2004) proposes an account in Optimality Theory of dl and dn metathesis in OS as a strategy for repairing bad syllable contact. I show how the analysis straightforwardly accounts for dl metathesis in JS imperative-clitic sequences. In OS, metathesis did not affect heteromorphemic dm clusters, and the same restriction is found in modern-day JS, e.g., dadme vs. *damde/dande ‘give (PL.) me’. I extend Holt’s account, through nasal place assimilation and positional faithfulness constraints, in order to explain the failure of dm metathesis across morpheme boundaries. -

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 2 ABSTRACT This thesis is concerned with the dialects of Hausa as spoken in Nigeria. There are five chapters and three appendices. The first chapter is composed of two parts. The initial part discusses two things, namely (i) the genitic affinity of Hausa and its status within West African languages, (ii) the various contributions made to the study of Hausa, in particular those which are either directly or indirectly connected with dialect variation. The second half of the first chapter examines different approaches to dialect study, such as the traditional approach, the structural approach and the generative approach. Of these, the generative approach is preferred, hence it is the method adopted here to account for Hausa dialect variation. -

Morphological derived-environment effects in gestural coordination: a case study of Norwegian clusters Travis G. Bradley* Department of Spanish and Classics, University of California, 705 Sproul Hall, One Shields Avenue, Davis, CA 95616, USA Abstract This paper examines morphophonological alternations involving apicoalveolar tap- consonant clusters in Urban East Norwegian from the framework of gestural Optimality Theory. Articulatory Phonology provides an insightful explanation of patterns of vowel intrusion, coalescence, and rhotic deletion in terms of the temporal coordination of consonantal gestures, which interacts with both prosodic and morphological structure. An alignment-based account of derived-environment effects is proposed in which complete overlap in rhotic-consonant clusters is blocked within morphemes but not across morpheme or word boundaries. Alignment constraints on gestural coordination also play a role in phonologically conditioned allomorphy. The gestural analysis is contrasted with alternative Optimality-theoretic accounts. Furthermore, it is argued that models of the phonetics-phonology interface which view timing as a low-level detail of phonetic implementation incorrectly predict that input morphological structure should have no effect on gestural coordination. The patterning of rhotic-consonant clusters in Norwegian is consistent with a model that includes gestural representations and constraints directly in the phonological grammar, where underlying morphological structure is still visible.
