Abstract:

A wide and varied phonological asymmetries can be observed in the native and
loan phonology of Varhadi and Marathi that can be brought into penetrating
light of scrutiny in terms of embedded segmental strength, positional strength
governing the distribution of onset and coda, directional asymmetries in
assimilation, segmental and syllabic asymmetries pertaining to repair
strategies. Cross-linguistically, it has been observed that segments and
privileged positions such as syllable onset in general, and C1 in
syllable-initial position in particular resist and trigger alteration whereas
segments in non-privilege positions, such as codas, and C2 in syllable-initial
position are targeted for alteration. Interestingly, segments having greater
internal strength are not prone to such alternation; instead they resist and
trigger alteration although they occur in the non-privileged positions such as
coda and C2 in the syllable. The instances of retroflexion in native Marathi,
and deletion of C1 and preservation of C2 in native and English loans in
Varhadi go against the universal principles governing positional faithfulness.
