Subject: Plosive Epenthesis in English

 
Dear Colleagues,

It is well known that English exhibits the epenthesis of a fortis plosive in
nasal+fortis fricative clusters (eg prince [prin<t>s]).  Some of the details
of this phenomenon are not clear (to me).

If you are a native speaker of English and can afford to spend about five
minutes on helping me with this, please visit http://seas3.elte.hu/epenthesis/
and give your grammaticality judgements on about 50 words.

Thank you very much in advance!

Best regards,
Peter Szigetvari
