Vowel features and umlaut in Fjingili, Nyangumarda and Warlpiri
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 October 2008
Extract
In this article we will analyse a number of phonological processes occurring in three Australian Aboriginal languages, all of which involve changes of vowels or sequences of vowels under the influence of neighbouring vowels or consonants. The rules which we will propose will be referred to as UMLAUT rules. Our goal is to investigate how these rules and the forms to which they apply can best be described in an autosegmental model.
