Colloquium Talk – Jonah Katz: Prosodic structure, timing, and fortition-lenition patterns
Location - Royce Hall 362 Title: Prosodic structure, timing, and fortition-lenition patterns Abstract: This talk reviews cross-linguistic evidence that certain common lenition processes such as spirantization, intervocalic voicing, and flapping take place in a component of grammar that governs the fine-grained temporal dynamics of speech sounds and their interaction with prosodic structure.

For example, although English, Spanish, and Farsi all have the sounds /p l s/, English allows the complex onsets /sp/ and /pl/, as in ‘speech’ and ‘play’, Spanish only /pl/, as in ‘playa’, while Farsi allows no complex onsets at all....
