Abstract: | "The primary aim of this paper is to discuss and analyze labial-velar and velarlabial
(historical) developments in two related languages: English and Dutch.
However, in order to propose an explanation for such changes, first we need to
address a problem of a somewhat unexpected phonological patterning of two
articulatorily unrelated consonant classes and its high frequency. This research
task presupposes the necessity to study the elemental make-up of velar and
labial consonants in both languages. The assumption is that labials and velars
must share a phonological element. This common-element solution explains
their intimate relationship which is evident in the phonological activity of both
classes. In short, simply because both classes interact phonologically, they are
assumed to share an element. Additionally, the study aspires to provide a formal
mechanism which is able to capture the changes in question and explain the
context in which they occur." […] (fragm.) |
