SUMMARY:Shigeto Kawahara - Location TBA
DESCRIPTION:<p>Coda devoicing and perceptual similarity</p>
 <p>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.<br />
 In this talk\, I present my recent attempts to test the premise of this hypothesis (clause (ii) above).</p>
