On the Application of Velar Palatalization in Italian
نویسندگان
چکیده
Velar palatalization is a process common to many Romance languages, although it is present in the various languages with different distribution and phonetic implementation. The origins of this phonological process are to be found in Late Latin and Proto-Romance. Late Latin velars were palatalized in non-derived as well as in derived environments. Morpheme internal palatalization is preserved in case like (1).

Velar Softening: An Acoustic Study in Modern Greek
In (Modern) Greek, velar consonants become palatalized before front vowels following an allophonic rule. In many southern dialects, the variants that result from palatalization further undergo softening in this same position. While velar softening is well-documented in Greek dialectology studies, most previous work is based on impressionistic data. In the present study, several acoustic and psy...
متن کاملRule Reliability in Natural and Artificial Grammar: The Case of Velar Palatalization
Russian velar palatalization changes velars into alveopalatals before certain suffixes, including the stem extension –i and the diminutive suffixes –ok and –ek/ik. While velar palatalization always applies before the relevant suffixes in the established lexicon, as depicted by dictionaries, it often fails with nonce loanwords before –i and –ik but not before –ok or –ek. A model of rule inductio...
متن کاملPalatalization and glide strengthening as competing repair strategies: Evidence from Kirundi
Alternations involving place-changing palatalization (e.g. t+j ʧ in spirit – spiritual) are very common and have been a focus of much generative phonological work since Chomsky & Halle’s (1968) ‘Sound Pattern of English’. The interest in palatalization and its mechanisms (see e.g. Sagey 1990; Chen 1996; Bateman 2007) has somewhat obscured the question of how these processes fit into a wider t...
متن کاملSubstantive Bias and Velar Palatalization
There is an active debate within the field of phonology concerning the cognitive status of substantive phonetic factors such as ease of articulation and perceptual distinctiveness. A new framework is proposed in which substance functions as a bias, or prior, on phonological learning. Two experiments tested this framework with a method in which participants are provided highly impoverished evide...
