| Abstract: | Consonantal Correspondence Rachel Walker USC This paper examines patterns of voicing agreement between consonants at a distance. I argue that the agreement stems from a correspondence relation between similar consonants in the output, a relation with foundation in mechanisms of production processing. The occurrence of long distance voicing interactions is predicted under this approach. The account also brings explanation to an observed similarity effect whereby the agreement preferentially targets pairs of near-identical (or identical) consonants. This paper will appear in the Proceedings of the Workshop on the Lexicon in Phonetics and Phonology, Papers in Experimental and Theoretical Linguistics, Vol. 6, University of Alberta. |
