Example text
An increasing number of phoneticians and phonologists have taken the phonetically grounded character of some indisputably phonological phenomena (such as categorical assimilation or lenition) as a signal that only fresh phonetically oriented empirical and theoretical research can hope to resolve these boundary disputes, thereby enabling more satisfying explanations for the underlying systems. In fact, Wner-grained data can also add to our problems. Phonetically detailed studies of multiple speakers reveal the extent of language-speciWc control of phonetic targets (often resulting in subtle interspeaker variation) in phenomena that are Wrmly within the phonological canon.
They belong neither with universal phonetics nor with high-level categorical phonology. 2 Language-SpeciWc Interpretation Phonetic ‘‘interpretation’’ introduces language-speciWc phonetics via, it seems, transduction. g. Keating 1984, 1990; Pierrehumbert 1990; Cohn 1993; Silverman 1997; Pierrehumbert and Beckman 1998; Cho, Jun, and Ladefoged 2002). Consequently, such models are phonetically detailed, but add the detail as part of a model of transduction using continuous mathematics, not in phonological representations.
Nasal vowel, or the presence vs. absence of an abstract /n/ which is not observable directly? And once that decision is made about the nature of the basic phonological contrast, which of the many other phonetic diVerences between pairs like had and hand are to be deWned as phonological, and which phonetic? These problems are both fundamental to the phonological description of any language and inherently about how phonetics and phonology interact. Finally, it cannot be stressed too much that a great deal of research in phonology is not limited to lexical contrast.
