Abstract

From Latin to Spanish and Portuguese, the natural class of sonorant consonants – laterals, rhotics, and nasals – often underwent drastic phonological changes. It is noteworthy that the tendency toward dissimilation, in accordance with Dispersion Theory (Flemming 1996; 1997; 2006), effected opposite changes in intervocalic /l/ and /n/. Portuguese favored geminate simplification and singleton lenition (Lief 2006; Malkiel & Alessandri Teixeira 1985), whereas Spanish tended toward geminate palatalization and singleton retention (Lloyd 1987). This study is an expansion of Holt (2007) and presents a diachronic and contrastive analysis of the evolution of intervocalic /l lː n nː/ from Latin to Spanish and Portuguese.
从拉丁语到西班牙语和葡萄牙语的中间辅音演变的优选理论解释
从拉丁语到西班牙语和葡萄牙语,发音辅音的自然类别——侧音、元音和鼻音——经常经历剧烈的语音变化。值得注意的是,根据离散理论(Flemming 1996;1997;2006),异化倾向影响了元音/l/和/n/的相反变化。葡萄牙人倾向于双腭化和单腭化(Lief 2006;Malkiel和Alessandri Teixeira,1985年),而西班牙语倾向于双颚化和单体保留(Lloyd,1987年)。本研究是Holt(2007)的扩展,对拉丁语到西班牙语和葡萄牙语的语际/lõn nõ/的演变进行了历时和对比分析。
