제약 SHARE CONDITION: 자음의 조음간극과 위치동화 양상의 상관성

Abstract

In the patterns of place assimilation between consonants, stops are more likely to undergo and trigger place assimilation than fricatives. To deal with this asymmetry, this paper proposes a constraint SHARECOND, under the formalism of Steriade (1992, 1993, 1994), requiring that sharing of a place feature occur between A。s. High ranking of this constraint explains why place assimilation does not happen in a consonant cluster containing a fricative. Moreover, imposition of SHARECOND in the grammar opens up a way to formally account for why a released stop is excluded from the target of place assimilation and why direction of place assimilation is predominantly regressive.
