I am looking for examples of derived environment effects that arise spontaneously in phonological acquisition or loanword adaptation. Korean learners of English, for example, usually go through a stage of partial allophonic contrast where native palatalization of /s/ overapplies only in morphologically-derived contexts (Eckman, Elreyes & Iverson 2003). Amahl’s puzzle-puddle-pickle problem (Smith 1973) is claimed to display the opposite pattern: velarization is blocked in derived environments. I would be very interested in reports of other emergent phonological patterns that distinguish basic and phonologically- or morphologically-derived contexts, and whether both derived and non-derived environment blocking are commonly attested.

Many thanks,
Yining Nie
