Lesson 10: Phonology Rules! <333

Relate phonemic representations to phonetic reps that are part of our lang

Nonpredictable, disticntive features of phonemes in word
derived by applying rules - linguistically relevent phonetic aspects of sounds.

A rule that makes neighboring segments more similar by duplicating a phonetic property
EX: Nasalization.

Articulate something efficiently
we tend to do that when we speak
* IMPoRTNT bc assimilation rules, mostly auditory....
lower velumm to produce nasal stop

They occur before nasal consonants

* CLASS OF SOUNDS AFFECTED
* WHAT PHONETIC CHANGE WILL OCCUR
* CONTEXT/PHONOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT

V --> [+nasal] / ____ [+nasal] S

A vowel becomes nasalized before a nasal segment possibly followed by one or 2 consonants within syllable

** makes DENTS allowed B/C consonant part added

Spreading of phonetic fatures in anticipation of perservation (hanging on) of auditory process....
so words sound smoother

Segment becoming LESS like aother segment.

EX: AL AR endings
angular
annual

Basically assimilation/dis rules
- adding or changing features.

nasalization.
-aspirating voiceless stops @ beginning of syllable

Inserting or deleting a vowel/consonant
happens in plural, posesssive, third person sing verb

Unstress vowels in fast speech
"mystry" "genral"

* delete /g/ when occurs before final nasal const.

SIGN came from SIGNATURE

french leaves out second half of word..
delete word final consonant when nex word begins with obstruent, liquid, or nasal cons

Reordering sequences of phonemes.

** aminal/animal
nuclear - nukular
