A surface constraint in Xitsonga: *Li
Africana Linguistica, 2015This paper proposes a surface constraint against the phonotactic sequence [ li] in Xitsonga. This constraint is supported by multiple lines of synchronic and diachronic evidence, individually identified in some previous work (Baumbach 1974, 1987 ; du Plessis et al. 1995) and supported in our own data. We observe that a synchronic change of / l/ to [ r]
