An exception to final devoicing
All Dutch dialects — or, more generally, all West-Germanic dialects except English — display the effects of a process called final devoicing (FD), illustrated in (1) for standard Dutch: an underlyingly voiced obstruent devoices when it occurs at the end of a syllable. That the obstruent is underlyingly voiced can be seen in other morphological contexts, where it does not end the syllable. Thus ...
متن کاملFinal devoicing of IV in Reykjavik Icelandic
Icelandic has a phonological process which devoices sonorants after voioed segments in domain-final position, but to date the category of the relevant domain and potential further factors affecting it have not been identified. The present paper studies final devoicing of IV, by which IV is realized as the voiceless lateral fricative [f] in domain-final position. It reports on the results of an ...
متن کاملPerceptual learning in speech is phonetic, not phonological: Evidence from final consonant devoicing
Listeners flexibly recalibrate the perceptual categorization of sounds in response to speakers’ unusual pronunciation variants. Recent studies have shown that generalization of this recalibration can inform us about the nature of prelexical units used for speech perception. The present study tested whether this generalization is sensitive to phonetic or phonological properties of speech. Using ...

This paper examines German Final Devoicing in OT and shows that a full account of the data requires not only an explanation for Final Devoicing itself, but also a model of the stratification of the lexicon. The point of departure of this study is the observation that although various recently proposed analyses of German Final Devoicing in OT seem to make equally good predictions for the voicing...
