Abstract
Hong, Sung-Hoon. 2007. Variation in English Syncope within a Partially Ranked Grammar. Korean Journal of Linguistics, 32-2, 241-263. This paper deals with how the phonological variation exhibited by English syncope can be explained within an Optimality Theoretic model of partially ranked grammar. Syncope in English, which deletes a word-medial unstressed vowel, is known to be subject to a sonority condition that holds between the consonant preceding the target vowel and the consonant following it. This sonority requirement, however, is not categorical, and becomes the primary source of variation. After performing a quantitative analysis of a recorded speech corpus, I show how sonority-induced variation is actually manifested. I then explain this variation within a partially ranked grammar model by leaving some rankings indeterminate. In particular, I show that the observed frequencies of syncopated forms obtained by the quantitative analysis closely match those predicted by the partially ranked grammar. (Hansung University)
