Today we workshopped the issues around English /ŋ,ng/ and the inventory of Feʔfeʔ-Bamileke as discussed in Hymany 1975 chapter 3. For your reading pleasure here are chapters
012.
We also discussed what changing /h/ to [p] in Japanese would mean in terms of feature geometry.
Today we workshopped Ladefoged's, Dresher's and
Pierrhumbert's ideas using Herd's (2005) concrete case of
loanword adaptation into Hawaiian and NZ Maori as discussed in
Dresher 2009.
Each student listed example papers on representations related to their interests.
We discussed them thematically, and identified a tentative
semester-long organization in which these themes and
accompanying papers could be approached.
