The goals of this paper are (1) to discuss the key features of existing articulatory models of speech production that govern their approaches to timing, along with advantages and disadvantages of each, and (2) to evaluate these features in terms of ...

Turkish /h/ deletion : evidence for the interplay of speech perception and phonology [PDF]
It has been hypothesized that sounds which are less perceptible are more likely to be altered than more salient sounds, the rationale being that the loss of information resulting from a change in a sound which is difficult to perceive is not as great as ...

The Development of Indo‐Iranian Voiced Fricatives
Abstract The development of voiced sibilants is a long‐standing puzzle in Indo‐Iranian historical phonology. In Vedic, all voiced sibilants are lost from the system, but the details of this loss are complex and subject to debate. The most intriguing development concerns the word‐final ‐aḥ to ‐o in sandhi.

Bactrian in Issyk‐Kushan Script: Additional Readings and Decipherments1
Abstract This article presents additional readings of several inscriptions written in the Issyk‐Kushan script, building on the improved system of sound values recently proposed by Sims‐Williams (2025b). We propose that some further lines of Dašt‐i Nāwur inscription DN III and parts of several other inscriptions can now be read as Bactrian, add new ...

Phonetics in Phonology and Phonology in Phonetics
In this paper, I explore the relationships between phonology and phonetics and argue that there are two distinct ways that they interact. A distinction needs to be drawn between the way phonetics affects phonology–phonetics in phonology, and the way phonology affects or drives phonetics–phonology in phonetics.

Sound change in Functional Phonology [PDF]
Sound systems may never stop changing, not even if only internal factors are present, because there may always be a better system. Non-teleological random variation of constraint ranking defines a pressure that explains the existence of perpetually ...

There Is no First Phase of the Jespersen Cycle1
Abstract This paper challenges the traditional conception of the Jespersen Cycle by arguing that no ‘pure’ first phase of the cycle exists where a single negator operates without reinforcement. Drawing on historical data from Northern Italian dialects (Piedmontese, Lombard, Emilian), we demonstrate that emphatic negative structures systematically co ...

Spreading in functional phonology [PDF]
The occurrence of and the restrictions on the temporal spreading of phonological feature values (assimilation, harmony) are the results of interactions between the functional principles of minimizing articulatory effort and minimizing perceptual ...

Phonology modulates the illusory vowels in perceptual illusions: Evidence from Mandarin and English [PDF]
Native speakers perceive illusory vowels when presented with sound sequences that do not respect the phonotactic constraints of their language (Dupoux, Kakehi, Hirose, Pallier, & Mehler, 1999; Kabak & Idsardi, 2007).
