Centuries of contact with French have led to French influence in Breton lexis, phonology and morphosyntax, and Breton's current status as an endangered minority language makes it vulnerable to further change. Additionally, younger ‘new speakers’ of Breton, who have acquired the language through Breton-medium education, are said to transfer features from French into their Breton. Analysis of stress usage shows that older, traditional speakers use stress largely as expected, while there is a greater degree of interspeaker variation among younger, new speakers. These data are used to form a metrical analysis of stress in Breton, taking into account lexical exceptions, loanwords and the variability of younger speakers. Rather than widespread transfer of French stress patterns into Breton, some younger speakers seem to be using two competing stress systems.","PeriodicalId":46804,"journal":{"name":"Phonology","volume":"38 1","pages":"363 - 399"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2021-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47119337","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Pp. lvi + 891.","authors":"Jeremy Steffman","doi":"10.1017/S0952675721000282","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1017/S0952675721000282","url":null,"abstract":"The Oxford handbook of language prosody, edited by Carlos Gussenhoven and Aoju Chen, is a collection comprised of 49 chapters divided into eight parts, with contributions from 121 researchers and nearly 700 pages of content. As these numbers might suggest, this volume is expansive. In introducing the handbook, the editors note that volumes focusing on one aspect of prosody (e.g. intonational phonology) are more common than those that cover the field as a whole. Unlike a volume which offers an introduction to a particular domain of prosody research or a particular model, this handbook reads as a catalogue of the current state of knowledge in the field, as described by leading prosody researchers. As such, theoretical or methodological cohesion is not a goal, though many chapters share a theoretical and methodological approach, described below. As an overview of the field, the handbook is certainly a success. It offers, among other things, a well thought-out and wide-ranging compilation of prosody research, which spans topics such as the role of prosody in first language acquisition, second language instruction and automated speech processing. The eight parts of the handbook vary in size. The largest, ‘Prosody across the world’, contains 18 chapters surveying prosodic typology; the smallest, ‘Fundamentals of language prosody’, contains just two chapters. Chapters within a section can also be only very broadly related, for example the ‘Prosody and language processing’ section contains three contributions on very different topics: ‘Cortical and subcortical processing of linguistic pitch patterns’ (Joseph C. Y. Lau, Zilong Xie, Bharath Chandrasekaran & Patrick C. M. Wong), ‘Prosody and spoken-word recognition’ (James M. McQueen & Laura Dilley) and ‘The role of phrase-level prosody in speech production planning’ (Stefanie ShattuckHufnagel). The focus of the volume, if any, comes across as typology (‘Prosody across the world’ is by far the largest part), though given the overview-oriented structure, the reader does not get the sense that there is an intended focus on one particular aspect of prosody research. The production quality of the handbook is good overall. Typographical errors, though present, are few and far between. Figures and visualisations are also generally well-placed, though they vary widely in their detail and quality, even sometimes within a chapter. However, given the number of contributors, this might be expected, and does not seriously detract from the content.

However, it is not clear if any instances of so-called homophony avoidance reported to date constitute an active synchronic restriction in the grammar. This paper presents an instance of homophony avoidance in Russian masculine nouns. A perception experiment shows that the trends observed in the corpus are only partially extended to nonce words. I argue that the asymmetry observed in the experimental results can only be attributed to a synchronic restriction against homophonous forms in the same paradigm. Thus this paper presents strong evidence in favour of a synchronic anti-homophony constraint.","PeriodicalId":46804,"journal":{"name":"Phonology","volume":"38 1","pages":"401 - 435"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2021-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41504667","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We develop the hypothesis that, in addition to their distinct phonological patterning, complex segments differ from segment sequences in how constituent articulatory gestures are coordinated in time. Through computational simulation, we illustrate predictions that follow from hypothesised coordination differences, showing as well how coordination is conceptually independent of temporal duration. We test predictions with kinematic data collected using electromagnetic articulography. Electromagnetic articulography data comparing labial-palatal gestures in Russian, which we argue on the basis of phonological facts to constitute complex segments, and similar labial-palatal gestures in English, which we argue constitute segment sequences, show distinct patterns of coordination, providing robust support for our main hypothesis. At least in this case, gestural coordination conditions patterns of kinematic variation that clearly distinguish complex segments from segment sequences.","PeriodicalId":46804,"journal":{"name":"Phonology","volume":"38 1","pages":"437 - 477"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2021-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44595032","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Kawahara, Mizuki Miyashita","doi":"10.1017/S0952675721000270","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1017/S0952675721000270","url":null,"abstract":"Modern Japanese has a set of morphophonemic alternations known collectively as rendaku that involve initial consonants in second elements of compounds, as in /jama+dera/ ‘mountain temple’ (cf. /tera/ ‘temple’). An alternating element like /tera/ ~ /dera/ has an initial voiced obstruent in its rendaku allomorph and an initial voiceless obstruent in its non-rendaku allomorph. Lyman's Law blocks rendaku in a second element containing a medial voiced obstruent. This paper gives three arguments that Lyman's Law originated as a constraint prohibiting prenasalisation in consecutive syllables. First, constraints on similar consonants in close proximity generally apply not to voicing but to features with phonetic cues that are more spread out, such as prenasalisation. Second, in some Japanese dialects with prenasalised voiced obstruents, rendaku cannot occur if it would result in adjacent syllables containing these marked consonants. Third, phonographically attested Old Japanese compounds are consistent with a constraint on adjacent syllables.","PeriodicalId":46804,"journal":{"name":"Phonology","volume":"38 1","pages":"479 - 511"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2021-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49175999","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The book is interesting, timely and necessary. The topic of the phonetic causes of sound change has been discussed for a long time, but it is far from being resolved. Palatalisation provides an excellent test case for the phonetic scenarios that drive the change, since it is cross-linguistically common and has a wide range of triggers and targets. In fact, it ranges so widely that there is plenty of literature covering different aspects of palatalisation in different language families. As to the bigger picture, there are several typological surveys of palatalisation patterns in the languages of the world, but not necessarily from the point of view of sound change, and definitely not exhaustive. As a typological study, the book is quite remarkable, as it covers a wide range of processes, concentrating mostly on Romance languages. Even though a wide range of typological data is covered in the book, the subtitle The palatalization and assibilation of obstruents appears to be somewhat misleading, since the book discusses only velars and labials. There is a good explanation for this choice (there is a vast amount of literature on the palatalisation of coronals), but one cannot help but dream about seeing a discussion in a single volume of all the places of articulation affected by palatalisation. Also, although it is very difficult to cite all the relevant literature in such an ambitious project, one important missing reference on the typology of the relevant sound changes is Kümmel (2007). The book emphasises the importance of distinguishing one-stage vs. multiplestage sound changes, and thus the multiple possible pathways of diachronic development. As Recasens puts it, the book ‘is especially interested in ascertaining the intermediate stages which may occur during these sound changes and also to make sense of the articulatory and perceptual factors which render them possible’ (p. 4). Another important aim of the book is to put forward an articulatory account of change which addresses both articulatory and acoustic data, as well as offering both articulatorily and acoustically based explanations.","PeriodicalId":46804,"journal":{"name":"Phonology","volume":"38 1","pages":"521 - 526"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2021-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42866205","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using maximum entropy models, I control for the substantial influences of lexical tone distributions and standardisation, and uncover phonological determinants of tone beyond these lexical and conventional factors. The most important phonological determinant of tone in the corpus was English voicing, while in the experiment it was English stress-aligned pitch contours. I argue that these distinct tonal adaptation patterns constitute two different perceptual mappings, one from F0 perturbations to tone and the other from English intonation to tone, both arising due to particular borrowing contexts. I suggest that increasingly close contact between English and Mandarin may lead to more intonation-driven tonal adaptation in the latest wave of borrowing. The maximum entropy approach holds promise for the analysis of complex cases of tonal adaptation in other languages.","PeriodicalId":46804,"journal":{"name":"Phonology","volume":"38 1","pages":"203 - 239"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2021-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45988415","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
