USC Graduate Phonology ✳︎ Fall 2019 ✳︎ Smith
Phonetics {and, v., or} phonology
process | subsequent developments | (incl. loss of trigger) |
---|---|---|
lengthening before voiced Cs: | /ab/ → [a:b] | (> a:p) |
palatalization: | /ki/ → [kj i] | (> či, ši, tsi, si) |
high vowel frication: | /ku/ → [kh u] | (> kx u, kf u, pf u, fu) |
anticipatory nasalization: | /an/ → [ãn] | (> ãN, ã:, ã) |
umlaut, metaphony: | /aCi/ → [æCi] | (> εCi, εCә, εC) |
tonogenesis from coda: | /aʔ/ → [áʔ] | (> á) |
tonogenesis from phonation: | /a̰ʔ/ → [à̰ʔ] | (> à) |
tonal bifurcation from onset: | /bá/ → [bǎ] | (> pǎ) |

USC PhD candidate Hayeun Jang has a phonetic story for parts (but not all!) of the weirdness. See her recent talk at the ASA. ↩
