“…This is suggested by the data in Iverson and Ofiederra (1985). Among the differences in application of this rule, some dialects palatalize only In,l/; some dialects palatalize/n,1/ and optionally palatalize/t/.…”

This paper proposes that affricates are composed of [-cont] and [+ cont] specifications which are unordered at underlying representation and throughout the phonological derivation, although they are ordered phonetically. Previous autosegmental treatments of the affricate, which include this ordering as part of underlying representation, can handle edge effects, which are cases where rules refer to only the adjacent value of [con@ But the ordered representation cannot account for anti-edge effects: those rules which involve the nonadjacent value of [cont]. Moreover, it predicts that ordering of the gestures is a possible phonological contrast, but this is incorrect, as no language has [+cont][-cont] single segments. As predicted by the unordered representation, all apparent cases of phonological edge effects can simply be stated as rules referring to a value of [cont]; all rules which show true edge effects occur after the values are phonetically ordered.* I would like to express my gratitude to John McCarthy, to whom I and this paper owe a not inconsiderable debt.

“…Thus Iverson and Oñederra (1985) report that in some Gipuzkoan areas, affective palatalization affects only obstruents (coronal fricatives, affricates and stops), since the sonorants /n/ and /l/ undergo a phonologically-conditioned rule of palatalization in intervocalic position after /i/ in this dialect, in words like langile 'worker', mina 'the pain'.

“…Finally, a typologically interesting process in Basque is semantic or expressive palatalization (Iverson & Oñederra, 1985), by means of which some dental and alveolar consonants become palatalized to convey diminutiveness (and, secondarily, affectiveness), as in the words zezen [s̻ es̻ en] 'bull' vs xexen [ʃeʃen] 'little bull', tanta [tanta] 'drop (of a liquid)' vs ttantta [caɲca] 'little drop'. This is a case of phonic symbolism, mostly unknown in the surrounding languages and that has lexicalized in some words like txori 'bird', from zori 'fate' (see Lakarra, Manterola & Segurola, 2019).…”

The central aim of this article is to characterize the Basque language from a typological point of view taking into account the results of latest research. Specific information regarding the phonological and grammatical structure of (mainly) Standard Basque is presented. At the same time, some of its typologically most salient properties are dealt with, such as the phonemic opposition between dorsal and apical sibilants, the activeinactive alignment of case marking, the pluripersonal agreement basis of its verbal system, the presence of allocutive paradigms in verbs, and the ways of expressing reflexivity. All these features are discussed based on our present knowledge of typological diversity and the extent to which languages may differ structurally.
