  2. Epenthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epenthesis

    Vowel insertion in the middle of a word can be observed in the history of the Slavic languages, which had a preference for open syllables in medieval times. An example of this is the Proto-Slavic form * gordŭ 'town', in which the East Slavic languages inserted an epenthetic copy vowel to open the closed syllable , resulting in городъ ...

  3. Feeding order - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feeding_order

    A counter-feeding order very often creates phonological opacity. In the given case, it is the application of the rule deleting word-final consonants which has thus become opaque in French. In historical linguistics, a sequence of rules in counterfeeding order is called a chain shift. A chain shift can be presented graphically like the following:

  4. Jerzy Rubach - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerzy_Rubach

    Since 2003, Rubach has been doing fieldwork on the phonological system of Kurpian, a dialect of Polish spoken in northern Poland . He devised a uniform system of Kurpian orthography, which was presented in his book Zasady pisowni kurpiowskiego dialektu literackiego [ Orthographic Principles of the Kurpian Literary Dialect ], published in 2009.

  5. Phonological rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonological_rule

    A phonological rule is a formal way of expressing a systematic phonological or morphophonological process in linguistics.Phonological rules are commonly used in generative phonology as a notation to capture sound-related operations and computations the human brain performs when producing or comprehending spoken language.

    Words with final /al/ and /ol/, which underwent partial L-vocalization, with the insertion of [ʊ] between the vowel and the /l/. The resulting diphthongs developed respectively into modern /ɔː/ in words like all , ball , call , and into the GOAT vowel in words like poll , scroll and control .

  7. Phonology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonology

    Phonology also includes topics such as phonotactics (the phonological constraints on what sounds can appear in what positions in a given language) and phonological alternation (how the pronunciation of a sound changes through the application of phonological rules, sometimes in a given order that can be feeding or bleeding, [16]) as well as ...

  8. Flapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flapping

    Flapping or tapping, also known as alveolar flapping, intervocalic flapping, or t-voicing, is a phonological process involving a voiced alveolar tap or flap; it is found in many varieties of English, especially North American, Cardiff, Ulster, Australian and New Zealand English, where the voiceless alveolar stop consonant phoneme /t/ is pronounced as a voiced alveolar flap [ɾ], a sound ...

  9. Bleeding order - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bleeding_order

    Bleeding order is a term used in phonology to describe specific interactions of phonological rules. The term was introduced in 1968 by Paul Kiparsky. [1] If two phonological rules are said to be in bleeding order, the application of the first rule creates a context in which the second rule can no longer apply.
