Phonetically conditioned lenition processes

PHILOLOGIA – Sprachwissenschaftliche Forschungsergebnisse

The term phonetically-conditioned lenition processes, which is also the title of the book, refers to the phonological processes whose output is thought to be linked directly to physical properties of the speech apparatus, of which inertia appears to be particularly important. Given that the influence of inertia manifests itself in accelerated movements when the moving organ needs to abruptly change direction, phonetically-conditioned processes are likely to take place in CVC and VCV sequences, where C and V stand for consonant and vowel…

Rhotic Sounds in the Slavic Languages

An Acoustic Study

PHILOLOGIA – Sprachwissenschaftliche Forschungsergebnisse

This post-doctoral book provides a comprehensive description of the major allophones of the rhotic phonemes found in thirteen currently spoken Slavic languages. Since trills are said to be susceptible to phonetic change, an attempt is made to determine whether the phonological contexts in which rhotic sounds occur have an impact on their phonetic realisation. Therefore, tokens of the rhotic phonemes /r/, /rʲ/, /r̝/ and /ʀ/ are examined in five vowel-adjacent positions, i.e. word-initial, onset clusters, intervocalic, pre-consonantal coda positions, and world final. In…

Studien zur Geschichtsforschung des Altertums

Die Landschaft Lykaonien im inneren Anatolien gehört zu den bislang weniger erforschten Regionen Kleinasiens. Die marginale geographische und historische Rolle Lykaoniens verdeckt die immense Bedeutung, die diese Landschaft in der Erforschung der Religionsgeschichte Kleinasiens spielt. In den letzten Jahren erschienen verschiedene ähnlich angelegte Regionalstudien. Zu Lykaonien fehlte bislang eine diesbezügliche Analyse, so dass die Studie den Anspruch erheben kann, hier eine Lücke zu füllen.

Die für ganz Anatolien beobachteten Wechselbeziehungen zwischen…
