Dissertation Abstract:

This dissertation describes several strong phonotactic constraints that
operate over the root in the Khoisan language Ju|'hoansi via patterns
examined over a recorded database collected and re-transcribed for 6
speakers balanced for gender. Functional bases for the constraints
described are suggested, calling on language specific strategies that are
expected to assist listeners in parsing the root, as well as a universal
perceptual constraint that requires sufficient contrast in paradigmatic
relationships. The results of a single acoustic case study that provides
more detailed grounding of the guttural OCP constraint in the voice quality
cues associated with guttural consonants and vowels is also provided.
