Abstract:

This book presents a thorough investigation of the main diachronic changes
that have taken place in the palatal sounds of the Romance languages, as well
as their current patterns of synchronic variation. Andre Zampaulo draws on
extensive data not only from diachronic sources, but also from a range of
current phonetic, phonological, and dialectal studies to motivate a formal,
constraint-based account of palatal sound change. The analysis takes into
account the role of phonetic information in the shaping of phonological
patterns, approaching sound change from its inception during the
speaker-listener interaction and formalizing it as the difference in
constraint ranking between the grammar of the speaker and that of the
listener-turned-speaker. The volume offers insights into how and why similar
types of change may take place in different varieties and/or the same language
at different times, and will be of interest to graduate students and
researchers in historical linguistics, phonetics and phonology, Romance
linguistics, and dialectology more broadly.
