Abstract:

The study of epenthesis, or the insertion of a non-etymological
segment, has been at the core of phonological theory from the start,
and recent approaches extend beyond phonology to include phonetic
considerations, as well as morphological, morphosyntactic, and lexical
interactions. This volume includes 12 of the many papers presented at
the workshop “Epenthesis and Beyond” held at Stony Brook University in
2021, whose goal was to provide a forum for scholars who approach
epenthesis and other types of insertion from new perspectives. The
articles selected for this volume represent the exciting new
approaches to epenthesis that linguists are engaged in. They cover a
wide range of research questions, including how different types of
insertion within the same language can use different epenthetic
segments, and how across languages the same phonetic material can have
different  phonological interpretations. Topics like feature
epenthesis, insertion vs. deletion, vowel predictability, nucleus-less
syllables, and epenthetic segment quality, are also explored. Some of
the new tools employed by the authors include ultrasound, Information
Theory, and textsetting (the study of the way poets map their text
onto a metrical grid). The breadth of languages investigated is
noteworthy as well: Kru languages (spoken in Western Africa),
Anindilyakwa (spoken in Australia), Yuman languages (spoken in the
border area between Mexico, California, Arizona), Motu (Oceanic
language spoken in Papua New Guinea), Kaqchikel (Mayan  language
spoken in Guatemala), Arabic, Turkish, Korean, and many others.
