Finality Constraints in Burmese – History and Synchrony
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper will outline some of the restrictions on what can and cannot appear at the end of a Burmese word. We will see that historical changes have resulted in a rather unusual phonotactic distribution. By looking at how Burmese speakers treat foreign loanwords in their language, it will be revealed what phonological principles the Burmese have generated in order to make sense of their phonotactics.

Why has this giant snake had such great success as an invasive species when many established reptiles have failed to spread? We scored the Burmese pyt...

BACKGROUND Recent reports from the United States Geological Survey (USGS) suggested that invasive Burmese pythons in the Everglades may quickly spread into many parts of the U.S. due to putative climatic suitability. Additionally, projected trends of global warming were predicted to significantly increase suitable habitat and promote range expansion by these snakes. However, the ecological limi...
متن کاملBurmese Lokapalas : a Problem of Identification
In Burma the proper identification of Lokapalas is exceedingly difficult. Basically the problem stems from the fact that Burmese art has been greatly influenced by Indian traditions, yet successive migrations ofTibeto-Burman tribes have introduced Chinese elements. Consequently iconographic inconsistencies occur with such regularity that a positive identification of Lokapalas is nearly impossib...
