Abstract:
This dissertation explores the relationship between the phonological patterning of nasal-obstruent sequences (NC sequences) and their phonetic realizations. I argue that there are distinct NC patterns in the phonology, specifically unary segments (such as prenasalized stops) vs. clusters, and that these patterns are reflected in the phonetics. The data for these investigations come primarily from phonological and phonetic studies (both acoustic and aerodynamic) collected through fieldwork on four Austronesian languages—Tamambo and Erromangan of Vanuatu, and Pamona and Manado Malay of Indonesia. Clear cases of prenasalized stops, in languages like Fijian, and clusters, in languages like English, provide ample evidence for different phonological NC entities, despite the fact that some languages are more difficult to classify. I propose a methodology for determining the status of an NC, which separates the often-conflated issues of tautosyllabicity and unary segmenthood. Grouping NC-types along two principle ... : This thesis is copyrighted, and is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0) - see https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ Fieldwork for this dissertation was funded by a fellowship from the Fulbright Hayes Doctoral Dissertation Research Abroad Program and the Southeast Asia Program at Cornell University. ...
