Types of phonological processes
Form of the segment
Fortination
transformation of a "weak" segment into a "strong" one
ex: Argentinian variant
--> palatal approximants = voiced plalatal fricative
ex Catalan
loss of the voicing feature of obstruents in word-final position
Lenition
transformation od a "strong" segment into a "weak" one
quite common, several kinds of mutations;
Spirantization
Debuccalization
Voicing
Degemination
Dissimilation
two segments that are identical become less alike. Not very frequent, as Assimilation
Neutralization
number of sounds of sme specific class appearing in these context is REDUCED
Assimilation
process --> segment acquirea one or more articulatory properties from a neighboring segment = adjacent one --> affect consonant
Assimilation btwn CONSONANTS
affett two adjacent segment = two types ->
regressive
(right-to-left) (a acquires properties from B) and
progressive
(left-to-right)
most commomn assimilation = assimilation of
place of articulation
--> Spanish nasal
Assimilation btw VOWELS
does NOT INVOLVE ADJACENT vowels
separate vowels with consonantal segments
chained in a way that affets all the vowels in the word
Regressive - UNLAUNT
GERMANY:
pg 22 => the plural= Back vowels + Plural (front vowel) = assimilation = unifying all vowels with respect of the backness feature (foot-feet)
Progressive - HARMONY
TURKIC
: pg 22 => the plurals = they always agree in backness with the trigger word (first word attach)
Syllable stucture
Elision
Metathesis
Epenthesis
