Conditioned epenthesis in Romance
2022The factors influencing the insertion of non-etymological material (epenthesis) may extend beyond phonetics and phonology to include morphological and morphosyntactic considerations. We analyse cases from a wide variety of Romance languages where more than one epenthetic segment may satisfy a phonological constraint.

DEP is often informally characterized as a constraint against epenthesis, but its actual effects are more diverse. In the domain of base-reduplicant correspondence, DEP can have the effect of blocking deletion in the base, as in Tonkawa reduplication. In the domain of output-output correspondence, DEP in effect requires deletion of underlying material ...

Journal of Latin Linguistics, 2022
Abstract This paper intends to focus on two aspects: how the Latin grammarians developed the concept of epenthesis, and how we can now give an explanation to this phenomenon. After having gathered the phonological evidence from the tradition of Latin philology, we propose that, in prehistoric Latin, the epenthesis of -t- in the -s.r ...

Tone-driven epenthesis in Wamey
Phonology, 2022AbstractThis paper argues that tone-driven epenthesis is possible in tonal languages. In Wamey, an epenthetic [ə] is inserted to host a high tone in two contexts: first, to host a tone which would otherwise be left floating due to a restriction on rising tones (/cv̀cⒽ/ maps to [cv̀cə́] due to a ban *[cv̌c]); and second, to host a tone which is ...

Epenthesis in Italian Sign Language
Sign Language & Linguistics, 2009The aim of this study is to provide a detailed account for the phenomenon of movement epenthesis in Italian Sign Language (LIS). LIS displays at least two cases of epenthesis of movement, one affecting signs that involve contact with the body, the other affecting signs that do not (i.e. signs articulated in neutral space).

Syncope and epenthesis have been treated as two closely related phenomena in traditional accounts: what syncope destroys, epenthesis restores. In this paper we present some cases of vowel epenthesis in the verbal domain in some Northern Emilian varieties where both syncope and epenthesis are rather restricted.

Canadian Journal of Linguistics/Revue canadienne de linguistique, 1978
This paper is structured in the following way: first, certain alternations involving consonantal insertion will be examined in order to motivate a synchronic epenthesis rule for Old French (OF) phonology. After details of this rule and some of its relationships with other rules are fixed, an interesting set of historical changes involving restructuring,

L'A. propose une analyse detaillee d'un processus unique d'epenthese en huariapano (ou pano): l'insertion systematique d'une fricative glottale h en position finale de syllabe. Il suggere que la structure metrique joue un role-cle dans l'explication de la motivation prosodique de la distribution inhabituelle des h epenthetiques dans cette ...

Abstract Modern Hindi words such as [dãt] ‘tooth’ and [t ∫ãnd] ‘moon’ had similar phonetic structure in Middle Indo-Aryan, with conventional transliterations of danta and čanda, respectively. The development of the long nasal vowel is usually correlated with loss of the nasal consonant.

Old French Epenthesis Revisited
Canadian Journal of Linguistics/Revue canadienne de linguistique, 1981It is always gratifying when one’s research elicits a response, particularly the detailed discussions by Singh (1980) and Morin (1980) of Walker (1978). It is also clear that both of these authors have contributed to our understanding of the process of epen-thesis in Old French, although I am not convinced that we may yet be confident of having dealt ...
