Abstract

English represents stress-sensitive consonant lenition systems, in which the onsets of stressed syllables (as well as word-initial consonants) tend to resist diachronic lenition, resulting in synchronic alternations between foot-initial and foot-internal variants. However, there is empirical evidence that a further distinction needs to be drawn between two subtypes of foot-internal positions: one which is weak proper, included within a bimoraic domain (corresponding to the “minimal foot” in prosodic approaches); and a less weak (“semi-weak”) position outside that minimal domain. Crucially, lenition outside the domain implies lenition within, and no cases of lenition in semi-weak only are on record. The paper uses the representations of Strict CV Phonology to capture the equivalence of two forms of the “minimal foot” (the CVCV sequence and the long-vowelled heavy syllable) and to connect this “bimoraicity” of the domain to the implications in consonant lenition, a benefit moraic theory does not offer.

“最小脚”内外的辅音发音:严格的CV音韵学分析
英语代表着重音敏感的辅音发音系统,其中重音音节(以及单词开头的辅音)的开始倾向于抵抗历时性发音,导致脚首和脚内变体之间的共时性交替。然而,有经验证据表明,需要进一步区分两种类型的脚内部位置:一种是弱适当的,包括在双模域内(对应于韵律方法中的“最小脚”);以及在最小域之外较弱(“半弱”)的位置。至关重要的是,域外的限制意味着域内的限制,并且没有记录在案的仅在半弱条件下的限制。本文使用严格CV音韵学的表示来捕捉两种形式的“最小音脚”(CVCV序列和长元音重音节)的等价性,并将这种域的“双音节性”与辅音发音的含义联系起来,这是一种道德理论所不能提供的好处。在t…
