Phonetic Change and Phonology
نویسنده
چکیده
I will propose that a model of phonetic change which adequately captures these effects, describes it as a change in language specific phonetic implementation of phonological objects. Phonetic change, then, can be localized to the implementation of particular phonological features, or bundle of features. I will conclude with some remarks about the consequences of this model for the nature of phonological representation.

Non-phonetic Conditioning of Sound Change and Biblical Hebrew
THE TIME-HONORED discussion of the problem of the non-phonetic conditioning of sound change has been intensified through the recent emergence of generative phonology. Whereas the orthodox neogrammarian position, as well as that of "autonomous" phonemics, only allow for strict phonetic conditioning of sound change, "systematic" generative phonology posits that phonetic changes may also take plac...
متن کاملVowel Shifts and Phonology Phonetics Interface
1. I will be arguing from data on vowel shifts in progress, and from principles of language change, that language specific phonetic implementation rules must be part of speaker knowledge, and thus part of language acquisition. Then, I will sketch an abstract model of what phonetic implementation could be like. Having argued these points, I will address how this approach interacts with phonologi...
متن کاملEvolutionary Phonology as Human Behavior
Columbia School Linguistics views itself as a functional approach to language where problems, typically defined in terms of non-random skewings of sounds in the speech stream, are explained in terms of aspects of human behavior. In the realm of phonology, or sound patterns, the Columbia School was ahead of its time in formulating specific hypotheses where both phonetic and nonphonetic factors w...
متن کاملThe Phonetic Grounding of Phonology
Phonological theory makes claims about the entities of phonological representation (such as features, phonemes, or syllables); about the constraints or rules which describe the well-formed combinations of these entities; and about the way in which constraints or rules interact to determine the space of well-formed abstract representations. Work on the phonetic grounding of phonology has eroded ...
متن کاملTwo-level morphology as phonology: Parallel automata, simultaneous rule application, and the elsewhere condition.*
Two-level morphology is a system which relates lexical representations of morpheme sequences directly to their surface/phonetic forms, without intermediate derivational stages as in most other generative approaches. It thus draws its name from the restriction of phonology to two levels of representation, and perhaps should more properly be known as two-level phonology. The morphological compone...
