| Abstract: | Bakovic (2005, et seq.) analyses patterns of sufficiently-similar segment avoidance as the interaction of undominated agreement and anti-gemination constraints, a pattern known as cross-derivational feeding (CDF). A study of historical English shows that the bleeding interactions between epenthesis and assimilation which prevent adjacent sufficiently-similar segments can be explained by grammar-external constraints on parsing sound change in progress. Evidence against both of the strong predictions of CDF are presented. |
