Abstract:
This volume should be of great interest to phoneticians, phonologists, and
both historical and cognitive linguists. Using data from the Romance languages
for the most part, the book explores the phonetic motivation of several sound
changes, e.g., glide insertions and elisions, vowel and consonant insertions,
elisions, assimilations and dissimilations. Within the framework of the DAC
(degree of articulatory constraint) model of coarticulation, it clearly
demonstrates that the typology and direction of these sound changes may very
largely be accounted for by the coarticulatory effects occurring between
adjacent or neighbouring phonetic segments, and by the degrees of articulatory
constraint imposed by speakers on the production of vowels and consonants. The
phonetically-based explanations presented here are formulated on the basis of
coarticulation data from speech production and perception research carried out
during the last fifty years and are complemented with data on the
co-occurrence of phonetic segments in lexical forms of the languages being
considered. Attention is also paid to the role that positional and prosodic
factors play in sound change implementation, as well as to the cognitive and
peripheral strategies involved in segmental replacements, elisions and
insertions.
