Prokaryotic syllables and excrescent vowels in two Yuman languages
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2024-11-20)Excrescent vowels in two Yuman languages (Cocopa and Jamul Tiipay) and the phonotactic restrictions for their occurrence show that vowels that fulfil some criteria of excrescent vowels are not always a phonetic reflex without repercussions for syllabification (Hall 2006), but rather signal the presence of an additional, albeit non-canonical, syllable. They are inserted in syllables without a ... -

(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2024)Linguistic diversity is often addressed within wider abstract educational frameworks, making it difficult to concretize in teacher training.

Phrasal Vowel Harmony
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2024)Vowel harmony is usually claimed to be word bound, and the ‘word’ is usually taken to refer to the phonological word, not the grammatical word, since compounds are often disharmonic. Indeed, vowel harmony is said to rarely cross lexical word boundaries, either within compounds or within phrases.
