New Phonology Paper [repost]

 

Frederick Gietz  (PhD Candidate), Peter Jurgec (Faculty) and Maida Percival (PhD Candidate) have published a paper in the Journal of Linguistics

"Shift in Harmonic Serialism" examines whether shift, in which a feature moves/flops from one segment to another, should be considered an operation.  They show that only the one-step shift analysis can capture the tonal patterns in Kibondei and the segmental patterns in Halkomelem; grammars that rely on spreading or floating features cannot. 

Great read for all the phonetics/phonology lovers!
