Abstract:Sequences of nasals followed by fricatives have proven to be a special case of marked structures, triggering repairs that are not enforced with other sequences, such as nasals followed by stops. Most analyses of nasal+fricative sequences assume stops and nasals share the value [-cont], and nasals and fricatives are mismatched for the value of the feature. This mismatch is thought to be the source of the markedness of this configuration. This short paper engages the possibility that nasals in some languages … Show more
