Posted August 31st, 2009 by ellen.guigelaarCoda devoicing and perceptual similarity
Languages resolve voiced obstruents in codas by devoicing but not by any other phonological means (i.e. nasalization, deletion or epenthesis). For example, the underlying /ab/ can become [ap], but not *[am], *[aba] or *[a]. Steriade (2001/2008) claims that (i) speakers maximize the similarity between inputs and outputs, assuming that (ii) devoicing yields an outcome that is most similar to the original form.
In this talk, I present my recent attempts to test the premise of this hypothesis (clause (ii) above).
