Coda conditions as [M&M] conjunctionsConditions on the syllable coda are responsible for a number of processes in German, both in the standard language and in regional varieties. We will here focus on the three coda processes illustrated in (2): the well-known process of coda devoicing (2a) turns underlying /ta:g/ into [ta:k]; spirantization (2b) applies to underlying /g/ in the syllable coda, resulting in the alternation between the plural . Kö.ni.[g]e. and singular .Kö.ni [ç].; coda cluster simplification (2c), similar to the corresponding alternation in English, is responsible for the alternation between Diphtho[×] and diphtho[×g]ieren.(2) a. Devoicing: /ta:g/ .ta:k.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
