“…More re cently, Chalcatongo and to a far lesser extent San Miguel have lost syllablelevel orientation in favor of a stronger foot-orientation, with the result that these segments are maximally strong in foot template-initial position and weaker in template-medial position. Thus, for instance, Chalcatongo Pol shows realizations of [mb] and [b] in template-initial position, where [mb] can be seen as simply an even more emphatic realization of /b/, as developed in Iverson & Salmons (1996). The loss of medial *w, as we have seen, leaves its mark in the form of labiality on final vowels when it reflects a new Chalcatongo change.…”

“…6 This inventory reflects the analysis of surface prenasalized stops as hypervoiced developed in Iverson & Salmons (1996), rather than distinctively marked for prenasalization, as in pre vious accounts. That is, Pol is realized as [ m b] in some environments, described below.…”

IntroductionData on phonological developments in Highlands Mixtec dialects 1 indicate that the inclusion of a level of phonological constituency beyond the syllable can greatly simplify the characterization of the key sound changes in these di alects. While higher-level phenomena, most often in the guise of the root, have long been of interest in historical linguistics -cf. especially the Root Structure Constraints of Proto-Indo-European -, such diachronic matters have gener ally not been analyzed within frameworks able to address such high-level is sues elegantly. 2 By developing and applying the notion of the prosodic tem plate explicitly in language change and incorporating it into recent phonological theory, ultimately we can achieve a more coherent and parsimonious under standing of sound change. The goal of this paper is to take a step in that direc tion.While synchronic phonological theory has spent much of the last 15 years or so exploring views of phonology above the segment, i.e., syllable-level and higher-level prosodic matters, historical linguists have overwhelmingly re mained focused on matters below the syllable, and standard handbooks in the field do not yet include explicit discussion of structure above the segment. * We are grateful to the following people for a broad variety of comments, suggestions discussions and other help on this topic and this paper:

“…Cooper identifies several co-occurrence constraints of pie sounds on the root level, including constraints against laryngeal pairings. Other studies have taken a more general approach with quantitative elements such as Iverson & Salmons (1992). Regarding the laryngeals in particular, previous research has established that the laryngeals occur in environments associated with fricatives (see, e.g., Byrd 2017).…”

Discussion of the exact phonetic value of the so-called ‘laryngeals’ in Proto-Indo-European has been ongoing ever since their discovery, and no uniform consensus has yet been reached. This paper aims at introducing a new method to determine the quality of the laryngeals that differs substantially from traditional techniques previously applied to this problem, by making use of deep neural networks as part of the larger field of machine learning algorithms. Phonetic environment data serves as the basis for training the networks, enabling the algorithm to determine sound features solely by their immediate phonetic neighbors. It proves possible to assess the phonetic features of the laryngeals computationally and to propose a quantitatively founded interpretation.
