In addition, an analytic model that combines autosegmental phonology with ethologic descriptions of infants’ vocal behavior is used to develop metrics of infant vocal productivity and sound diversity. Implications of this model are discussed for intrasyllabic organization and the language-learning phenomenon of fast mapping. The syllable is defined in terms of sonority theory and aspects of rhythmic patterning. A central hypothesis is that syllables and syllable-based rhythmic patterns induce a proto-linguistic representation compatible with certain constructs of nonlinear phonology. The book is concise, well organized, and clearly written and will be of interest not only to historical phonologists, but to all concerned with issues of sonority, lenition, fortition, and obstruent systems.A model is described for early speech pattern representation that combines sensory processing, vocal motor control, and emergent phonological organization. Overall, C’s book accomplishes its goal of linking lenition and fortition with the implicational hierarchy of obstruents through the notion of sonority. Two appendices list the languages from the UCLA Phonological Segment Inventory Database referred to in the book, and those with anomalous obstruent systems. 7 (121–22) summarizes the main findings of this work and points out some of the topics outside the scope of the investigation, such as gemination and the relationship between lenition and loss. ![]() This model describes the attested obstruent systems and captures typical processes affecting obstruents, as well as the exceptional behavior of palatals.Ĭh. 6 (107–20) recapitulates some of the findings and outlines a phonological model for the representation of manner and place in the government phonology framework. The examination of these languages confirms the typological generalizations from previous chapters. 5 (84–106) is a diachronic analysis of the obstruent systems from Proto-Indo European to Modern English, German, and Scandinavian. ![]() By contrast, sonority-decreasing changes can be either context-dependent or context-free and typically turn sounds from implicationally dependent to more basic these changes can shrink the phonological system due to mergers. 4 (60–83) based on these, C concludes that sonority-increasing diachronic changes are almost always context-dependent and turn sounds from basic to implicationally dependent, usually resulting in new segments in inventories. A list of sonority changes from over one hundred languages is provided in Ch. C concludes that the higher the sonority of a consonant, the lower its typological frequency and the more dependent its position in the system exceptions include semivowels, laryngeals, and palatals. 3, ‘The typology of consonant systems’ (44–59), considers the implicational hierarchy of obstruents, based on Ian Maddieson’s Patterns of sounds (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1984) and Peter Ladefoged and Maddieson’s The sounds of the world’s languages (Malden, MA: Blackwell, 1996). This chapter also reviews previous phonological models of sonority.Ĭh. 2 (28–43) focuses on the notion of sonority, its phonetic correlates, and the sonority-scale. Lenition is defined as a sonority-increasing change and fortition as a sonority-decreasing change. 1 (15–27), C reviews and discusses the definitions of lenition, fortition, and the consonant weakening chain in historical linguistics. The preliminary section (7–14) makes clear the starting assumptions of this work and outlines the content of subsequent chapters. dissertation, examines the implicational hierarchy of consonant inventories and links it to lenition and fortition through the notion of sonority.
