초록

The analysis of English aspiration has been focused on syllable onset in most literature, ignoring syllable-final position. In fact, however, voiceless plosives in English can be aspirated in word-final position, resulting in free-variation. Nevertheless, they do not exhibit variation if there is another consonant after or before them. To account for this asymmetric variation of English aspiration in syllable-final, this paper provides a new look on English aspiration on the whole within the framework of Optimality theory(OT). The main idea is inspired from Iverson and Salmons (1995), Spencer(1996) saying that voiceless plosives are underlyingly aspirated, and aspiration occurs by elsewhere condition. However, this approach provides fundamentally different formalization by employing OT without any arbitrary underlying specification and rules. As a result, this approach using anti-aspiration only in certain environment is proved to be superior to the previous ones using pro-aspiration in accounting for asymmetric variation in syllable-final as well as English aspiration in general.

Abstract

The analysis of English aspiration has been focused on syllable onset in most literature, ignoring syllable-final position. In fact, however, voiceless plosives in English can be aspirated in word-final position, resulting in free-variation. Nevertheless, they do not exhibit variation if there is another consonant after or before them. To account for this asymmetric variation of English aspiration in syllable-final, this paper provides a new look on English aspiration on the whole within the framework of Optimality theory(OT). The main idea is inspired from Iverson and Salmons (1995), Spencer(1996) saying that voiceless plosives are underlyingly aspirated, and aspiration occurs by elsewhere condition. However, this approach provides fundamentally different formalization by employing OT without any arbitrary underlying specification and rules. As a result, this approach using anti-aspiration only in certain environment is proved to be superior to the previous ones using pro-aspiration in accounting for asymmetric variation in syllable-final as well as English aspiration in general.
