| Abstract: | Austronesian Nasal Substitution and other NC effects (Abstract) ROA-92 (36pp.) ausnas.ps, --.wp6, --.rtf Joe Pater McGill University bgb2@musicb.mcgill.ca This paper analyzes Indonesian/Malay nasal substitution (i.e. meN+pilih -> memilih, but meN+beli -> membeli) as fusion of the nasal and voiceless obstruent, driven by a general, phonetically motivated constraint that disallows nasal/voiceless obstruent clusters (*NC). Through reranking *NC with faithfulness constraints, a typology of NC effects, including nasal deletion, post-nasal voicing, and denasalization, is produced. This approach to NC effects is shown to avoid problems of over- and under-generation in both the standard analysis of nasal substitution, as well as in the recent analysis of post-nasal voicing in Ito, Mester, and Padgett (to appear). Topics of more general concern dealt with in the paper include the formulation of segmental faithfulness constraints in the Correspondence Theory of McCarthy and Prince (1995), as well as the influence of morphology on non-prosodic phonology.
