Abstract

We investigate the phonotactic behaviour of nasal consonants in a database of over 200 languages. Our findings challenge the common classification of nasals as intermediate between obstruents and liquids on the sonority hierarchy. Instead, we propose that there are two types of nasal consonants, one group with lower sonority than liquids and one with higher sonority. We propose that these two types of nasals differ in the presence or absence of a value for the feature [±continuant].

鼻辅音、音性和音节发音策略：双鼻假说

我们在200多种语言的数据库中调查了鼻辅音的发音行为。我们的发现挑战了在声音层次上将鼻腔划分为介于障碍物和液体之间的常见分类。相反，我们提出有两种类型的鼻辅音，一组比液体的音度低，另一组音度高。我们提出，这两种类型的鼻在特征[±continuant]的值的存在或不存在方面有所不同。

期刊介绍： Phonology, published three times a year, is the only journal devoted exclusively to the discipline, and provides a unique forum for the productive interchange of ideas among phonologists and those working in related disciplines. Preference is given to papers which make a substantial theoretical contribution, irrespective of the particular theoretical framework employed, but the submission of papers presenting new empirical data of general theoretical interest is also encouraged. The journal carries research articles, as well as book reviews and shorter pieces on topics of current controversy within phonology.
