Pavel Iosad deposited ‘Pitch accent’ and prosodic structure in Scottish Gaelic: Reassessing the role of contact on Humanities Commons 8 years, 1 month ago
This paper considers the origin of ‘pitch accents’ in Scottish Gaelic with a view to evaluating the hypothesis that this feature was borrowed from North Germanic varieties spoken by Norse settlers in medieval Scotland. It is shown that the ‘pitch accent’ system in Gaelic is tightly bound with metrical structure (more precisely syllable count),…[Read more]

Pavel Iosad deposited Tonal stability and tonogenesis in North Germanic on Humanities Commons 8 years, 1 month ago
The origin of North Germanic tonal accents is a question with a long history and a range of available answers. Although the basic facts are not in dispute, the accents’ historical development remains controversial. In this paper, I aim to contribute an argument in favour of the view that tonal accent arose in post-Viking Age North Germanic in c…[Read more]

Pavel Iosad deposited Prosodic structure and suprasegmental features: Short-vowel stød in Danish on Humanities Commons 8 years, 1 month ago
This paper presents a phonological analysis of a glottalization phenomenon in dialects of Danish known as ‘short-vowel stød’. It is argued that both short-vowel stød and common Danish stød involve the attachment of a laryngeal feature to a prosodic node—specifically the mora. In the case of short-vowel stød that mora lacks segmental content,…[Read more]

Pavel Iosad deposited Welsh svarabhakti as stem allomorphy on Humanities Commons 8 years, 1 month ago
In this paper I propose an analysis of the repairs of sonority sequencing violations in South Welsh in terms of a non-phonological process of stem allomorphy. As documented by Hannahs (2009), modern Welsh uses a variety of strategies to avoid word-final rising-sonority consonant clusters, depending in part on the number of syllables in the word.…[Read more]

Pavel Iosad deposited The phonologisation of redundancy: Length and quality in Welsh vowels on Humanities Commons 8 years, 1 month ago
‘Phonologization’ is a process whereby a phonetic phenomenon enters the phonological grammar and becomes conceptualized as the result of categorical manipulation of phonological symbols. I analyse the phonologization of a predictable phonological pattern in Welsh, with particular attention to identifying criteria for whether phonologization has…[Read more]
