    • Final devoicing and vowel lengthening in Friulian : a representational approach 

      Iosad, Pavel (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012)
      This paper proposes an account of final devoicing in Friulian which relies on contrastive feature specification and feature geometry to explicate the connection between final devoicing and vowel lengthening. It is proposed that obstruents which are the outcome of final devoicing are phonologically distinct from true voiceless obstruents, being completely unspecified for laryngeal features. It is ...

    • Head-dependent asymmetries in Munster Irish prosody 

      Iosad, Pavel (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)
      In this paper I propose an analysis of stress in Munster Irish which builds on two important premises. First, I argue for a distinction between the notion ‘head of a constituent’ and the notion of ‘stress’: these are separate entities, and the typologically frequent isomorphic distribution of the two is just one possible outcome of the phonological computation. Second, I propose to employ a ...

    • Vowel reduction in Russian: no phonetics in phonology 

      Iosad, Pavel (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012)
      Much recent work concentrates on the role of sonority in the phenomenon of vowel reduction, capitalizing on the two facts that reduction involves raising and/or shortening and that higher vowels and schwa are normally interpreted as having low sonority. This paper presents a different approach to vowel reduction in Standard Russian. It is proposed that the apparent sonority-driven effects in ...
