- W2243995249 abstract "This dissertation presents an in-depth study of the segmental inventory, segmental structure, cooccurrence restrictions and processes involving segments in Mandarin within the framework of contrastive specification and a model of phonology which contains a phonological component and a component for language-specific implementation rules. I argue that features present underlyingly are motivated by the contrasts existing in the inventory. Thus, Mandarin vowels constitute a two-height system and High is not present since there is no contrast to force it. /i/ is marked Coronal due to its contrast to //. Alveolars lack Coronal because there is no contrast to force it. Non-lateral sonorants are marked for sonorancy and are not further specified for manner, again predicted by the lack of contrasts in the inventory. The rule component provides strong support for the representations predicted on the basis of contrasts. I show that /i/ and /u/ are triggers in phonological assimilation rules whereas //, which is marked for V-place, acts as a target. /a/, which lacks V-place, is only a phonetic target. The two-height system is also supported by rules, as the nonlow vowels display variability in height realization whereas the low vowel /a/ is fixed in height. Similarly, consonants with a marked place feature are subject to a constraint against like articulators on a single segment, while alveolars, which are predicted by contrasts in the inventory to be unmarked for place, escape this constraint. Cooccurrence restrictions also support the representations predicted based on inventory contrasts. I argue that the systematic syllable gaps in Mandarin follow directly from the Obligatory Contour Principle and an antigemination constraint that hold both of V-place within a syllable and C-place and V-place within a single segment. Retroflexion suffixation allows an opportunity to test the representations, rules and constraints developed in the dissertation. Chapter 5 is a case study of the diminutive morpheme /r/ in Mandarin. I argue that /r/ is feature-sized rather than a full segment, a departure from most recent analyses, and that its phonological patterning follows from the rules and constraints independently motivated. I show that my approach accounts for all the alternations caused by retroflexion suffixation." @default.
