| Abstract: | The Development of On-glides in American English ROA-111 13 pages onglides.rtf, onglides.ps Jessica A. Barlow Indiana University jabarlow@indiana.edu The status of the C/y/ sequence as a consonant cluster has motivated an investigation into the representation of such sequences in comparison to C/w/ and consonant-liquid sequences in data from developing systems. Evidence from production and substitution patterns indicated that children showed different patternings for the consonant-glide sequences, such that for some children the palatal glide patterned as part of the onset of a syllable, whereas for other children it patterned as part of the nucleus. Results support the claim that the palatal glide of the C/y/ sequence patterns as part of both the onset and the nucleus of a syllable. The seemingly ambivalent behavior of glides would then follow from a complex structure and different constraint rankings.
