Abstract:

This dissertation is a collection of four papers that deal with several issues
in the phonology of Modern Hebrew (MH). The first two papers, which form
chapters 2 and 3, deal with the effects of the pharyngeal consonants in MH. MH
consists of only two dialects: General Modern Hebrew (GMH), which is the
standard dialect (also known as “Modern Koiné” (Yaeger-Dror 1988)), and
Sephardic Modern Hebrew (SMH) (also known as “Mizrahi Hebrew” (Yaeger-Dror
1988) or “Oriental Hebrew” (Blanc 1968)). The two dialects differ only in
their consonant inventories; SMH has retained the historical pharyngeal
consonants (IPA: ћ and ʕ), while GMH has collapsed them with non-pharyngeals
(ћ → x and ʕ → ʔ/a/Ø). Chapter 2 deals with non-lexical vowels that are
triggered by the pharyngeal consonant, while chapter 3 deals with the effects
of the pharyngeal consonant on adjacent vowels. Chapter 4 deals with the
synchronic influence of historical pharyngeals in GMH. In this chapter it is
argued that in GMH, historical ʕ emerges as a low vowel [a] and ћ as [ax]. The
fifth chapter deals with stress syncope and epenthesis in MH. A full analysis
of stress and syncope is given, followed by a description of cases in which
syncope creates an illicit three-consonant cluster that is broken by
epenthesis: tixtóv-i → tixteví. It is argued that this seemingly serial
interaction between phonological processes can be adequately analyzed within a
parallel model of phonology, i.e. the non-derivational version of Optimality
Theory.
