This study deals with affrication in English and provides a procedural HS analysis. Traditionally, phonologists have regarded affrication as only part of general palatalization in English because affrication shows similar behavior to sound modification of a general palatalization. Researchers assume a palatal glide after a coronal segment triggers palatalization and affrication. However, upon close observation, we find that a palatal glide triggers affrication, and a post-glide high-back vowel also contributes to affrication. The post-palatal high-back vowel keeps the oral cavity narrower with the influence of the palatal glide. Thus, the two high vocoids cooperate to constrict the oral cavity, inducing only an affricate but not an alveo-palatal fricative. The other issue we should discuss is to explain the reduction of the post-glide high-back vowel: it variably undergoes reduction. The behavioral difference of affrication in English calls for a separate analysis from palatalization. In addition, we need a step-by-step account to account for affrication and its ensuing vowel reduction. The current study presents a hybrid type of HS account that can explain types of affrication examples in English.
Abstract
This study deals with affrication in English and provides a procedural HS analysis. Traditionally, phonologists have regarded affrication as only part of general palatalization in English because affrication shows similar behavior to sound modification of a general palatalization. Researchers assume a palatal glide after a coronal segment triggers palatalization and affrication. However, upon close observation, we find that a palatal glide triggers affrication, and a post-glide high-back vowel also contributes to affrication. The post-palatal high-back vowel keeps the oral cavity narrower with the influence of the palatal glide. Thus, the two high vocoids cooperate to constrict the oral cavity, inducing only an affricate but not an alveo-palatal fricative. The other issue we should discuss is to explain the reduction of the post-glide high-back vowel: it variably undergoes reduction. The behavioral difference of affrication in English calls for a separate analysis from palatalization. In addition, we need a step-by-step account to account for affrication and its ensuing vowel reduction. The current study presents a hybrid type of HS account that can explain types of affrication examples in English.
