Orthographic epenthesis and vowel deletion in Welsh
Journal of Celtic Linguistics, 2022In this paper, we examine the distribution of epenthesis in final clusters and initial syllable deletion in trisyllabic words in Welsh using a corpus of Twitter data (Jones et al. 2015). We show that the generalisations established in Hannahs 2009, Hannahs 2011, and Hannahs 2013 are largely borne out, but there are additional lexical and phonological ...

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.

Vowel Epenthesis in Arabic Loanwords in Hausa
International Journal of Linguistics, 2015<p>Vowel epenthesis is discussed in this paper as a phonological process utilized to avoid codas in Arabic loanwords in Hausa language in light of Optimality Theory (OT), as an analytical framework, even though this language permits codas in heavy syllables of the form CVC (Caron, 2011). This process results in having disyllabic, trisyllabic, or

Persian speakers of English: Acoustics of vowel epenthesis
Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2015This study results from the need to develop further understanding into the process of vowel epenthesis which is often observed with second language learners. The purpose of this study was to examine the epenthetic vowels produced by Persian speakers of English to determine the acoustical characteristics and to ascertain if these vowels were ...

Vowel epenthesis has been most adequately described using nonlinear phonology approaches. It has been shown that vowel insertion is predictable from the syllabic constraints imposed in a specific language. Halle and Vergnaud (1978) considered vowel epenthesis, as a rule, applied to fill empty nodes created in derivation.

On vowel epenthesis in Alguer Catalan
1996A process of sandhi epenthesis occurring in the Catalan dialect of L’Alguer is described. This process, it is argued, although syllable driven, cannot be derived from general constraints on syllabification holding in the language. Rather, is better conceived of as a postlexical phonological rule, ordered before postlexical resyllabification.

Gradual Epenthesis: Echo Vowels in Austronesian Languages
Oceanic Linguistics, 2014Couched in Harmonic Serialism, this paper uses as examples echo vowel epenthesis in four Austronesian languages—Budai Rukai, Maga Rukai, Selayarese, and Rarotongan—to demonstrate that epenthesis, like many other phonological phenomena, involves gradual, harmonically improving derivations.

Hittite vowel epenthesis and the sonority hierarchy
Diachronica, 2001Summary This study examines the distribution of non-etymological vowels in Hittite and shows that non-etymological a is used in contexts where syllabification problems are not expected, suggesting that a is purely orthographic and brought on only by the practices of the cuneiform writing system.

VOWEL EPENTHESIS AND SEGMENT IDENTITY IN KOREAN LEARNERS OF ENGLISH
Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2012Recent literature has sought to understand the presence of epenthetic vowels after the productions of postvocalic word-final consonants by second language (L2) learners whose first languages (L1s) restrict the presence of obstruents in coda position. Previous models include those in which epenthesis is seen as a strategy to mitigate the effects of coda
