Subject: Epenthesis to Avoid Voice Clash



I am looking for languages that prefer inserting an epenthetical vowel to
regressive or progressive voice assimilation in order to solve a clash in
the [voice] feature.

That is: /apda/ --> [ap at da], and not *[abda] or *[apta]

I know of (modern) Hebrew which (frequently) inserts an epenthetical vowel
in order to avoid homorgenic stop clusters, which is the same story but for
the [place] feature.

Regards,

Hi

I was wondering if anyone could help me. I'm a PhD student and I'm looking
for some sort of database (dictionary, corpus - it doesn't matter) of
English word stress patterns; ideally, it would be searchable. Does anyone
know of such a thing?

I would be very grateful for any information on this.

Many thanks
