Abstract

The quality of an epenthetic vowel in a particular language may vary depending on segmental and prosodic factors, such as the quality of the surrounding consonants, the quality of other vowels in the word, and the position of the epenthetic vowel within the word. This last factor has received little attention in the literature. I have identified a number of cases in Italian in which the quality of the inserted vowel is determined by its position within the word. Through an in-depth study of loan word integration we see that the choice of the inserted vowel is influenced not only by phonology, but by phonetics and morphology as well.

意大利语声母外来词和辅音母音

在一种特定的语言中，元音的音质可能会因音段和韵律因素而有所不同，比如周围辅音的音质、单词中其他元音的音质以及元音在单词中的位置。最后一个因素在文献中很少受到关注。我已经在意大利语中发现了一些情况，其中插入的元音的音质是由它在单词中的位置决定的。通过对外来词整合的深入研究，我们发现插入元音的选择不仅受音系的影响，还受音系和形态学的影响。

期刊介绍： This journal publishes monographic volumes (under commision) that feature research papers devoted to the formal study of languages. The main purpose of the Catalan Journal of Linguistics (CatJL) is to publish research papers concerned with the structure of particular languages from the wider perspective of a general theory of the human language. Grown out of its predecessor, the Catalan Working Papers in Linguistics (CatWPL), this yearly publication is made possible thanks to the cooperation of the Centre de Lingüística Teòrica of the UAB with the Institut Interuniversitari de Filologia Valenciana.
