Sobre aquest llibre

The study of epenthesis, or the insertion of a non-etymological segment, has been at the core of phonological theory from the start, and recent approaches extend beyond phonology to include phonetic considerations, as well as morphological, morphosyntactic, and lexical interactions. This volume includes 12 of the many papers presented at the workshop “Epenthesis and Beyond” held at Stony Brook University in 2021, whose goal was to provide a forum for scholars who approach epenthesis and other types of insertion from new perspectives. The articles selected for this volume represent the exciting new approaches to epenthesis that linguists are engaged in. They cover a wide range of research questions, including how different types of insertion within the same language can use different epenthetic segments, and how across languages the same phonetic material can have different phonological interpretations. Topics like feature epenthesis, insertion vs. deletion, vowel predictability, nucleus-less syllables, and epenthetic segment quality, are also explored. Some of the new tools employed by the authors include ultrasound, Information Theory, and textsetting (the study of the way poets map their text onto a metrical grid). The breadth of languages investigated is noteworthy as well: Kru languages (spoken in Western Africa), Anindilyakwa (spoken in Australia), Yuman languages (spoken in the border area between Mexico, California, Arizona), Motu (Oceanic language spoken in Papua New Guinea), Kaqchikel (Mayan language spoken in Guatemala), Arabic, Turkish, Korean, and many others.

Sobre l'autor

Ji Yea Kim is an Assistant Professor in the Department of English at Gyeongsang National University in Korea, holding a Ph.D. in Linguistics from Stony Brook University. Topics of her research range from speech production and perception to loanword phonology, variation, suffixation, and typology from both theoretical and experimental perspectives

Veronica Miatto has obtained her PhD in Linguistics at Stony Brook University. Her research involves using experimental methods to make cognitive and sociolinguistics assumptions at the interface of Phonology and Phonetics. More specifically, she has recently worked on the phonological status of word-finally inserted schwas in various Italian dialects, on phonologically distinctive places of articulation on the face in ASL, and on stop voicing both in Italian and Lio (Austronesian).

Andrija Petrović holds a PhD in Linguistics from Stony Brook University; his research brings together theoretical, empirical, and computational approaches to phonology and morphology. He has most recently been working on a characterization of morphological processes as logical string transductions, with a special focus on the interfaces with phonology and syntax.

Lori Repetti (PhD, UCLA, 1989) is a Professor in the Department of Linguistics at Stony Brook University, specializing in Italian and Romance phonology, dialectology, and language change. Her current research explores the interaction between phonology and other areas of grammar, microvariation, and the teaching of Linguistics.
