Place vs. Stricture in Spanish Nasal Assimilation
In this paper we investigate patterns of place and stricture assimilation of Argentine Spanish nasals in order to test two competing models of phonological representations of place and stricture features (or tract variables). Electropalatographic (EPG) data from four speakers of Buenos Aires Spanish reveal that nasal assimilation before coronals within words (e.g. in /kanta/, /kansa/, /anʧa/) i...
متن کاملplace assimilation in the persian coronal nasal: categorical or gradient?
this study focuses on one particular sound change common in conversational speech, in which coronal nasal consonants undergo place assimilation toward the following syllable- or word-initial labial consonants. f2 and f3 formant frequency measurements were taken from, and compared between words involving the sequences /vnb/ and /vmb/ across syllable boundary as well as word boundary in assimilat...
متن کامل3 Place assimilation *
It is not difficult to derive place assimilation within the framework of previous theories such as classical generative theory, feature geometry, or underspecification theory. This is also true in Optimality Theory (Prince and Smolensky 1993). For instance, if there is a markedness constraint of the type *HETERORGANICCLUSTER, and faithfulness constraints for place of articulation are ranked bel...
متن کاملAssimilation of place in Japanese and dutch
Assimilation of place of articulation across a nasal and a following stop consonant is obligatory in Japanese, but not in Dutch. In four experiments the processing of assimilated forms by speakers of Japanese and Dutch was compared, using a task in which listeners blended pseudo-word pairs such as ranga-serupa. An assimilated blend of this pair would be rampa, an unassimilated blend rangpa. Jap...
متن کاملCoronal Specification and Licensing in Place Assimilation
Based on unmarkedness of coronal cross-linguistically, coronal has been considered to be underspecified. Also, place assimilation where coronal tends to assimilate to the adjacent labial or velar by a featurefilling rule has been support the underspecification of coronals. I instead argue that coronal should be specified in Optimality Theory despite its unmarkedness, and place assimilation no l...
