Abstract:

In English, phonological double consonants only occur across morphological
boundaries, for example, in affixation (e.g. in unnatural, innumerous). There
are two possibilities for the phonetic realization of these morphological
geminates: Either the phonological double is realized with a longer duration
than a phonological singleton (gemination), or it is of the same duration as a
singleton consonant (degemination).

The present book provides the first large-scale empirical study on the
gemination with the five English affixes un-, locative in-, negative in-, dis-
and -ly. Using corpus and experimental data, the predictions of various
approaches to the morpho-phonological and the morpho-phonetic interface are
tested. By finding out which approach can account best for the gemination
pattern of English affixed words, important implications about the interplay
between morphology, phonology and phonetics are drawn.
