Origins of sound change : approaches to phonologization

Origins of sound change : approaches to phonologization / edited by Alan C.L. Yu.

Explanations for sound change have traditionally focused on identifying the inception of change, that is, the identification of perturbations of the speech signal, conditioned by physiological constraints on articulatory and/or auditory mechanisms, which affect the way speech sounds are analyzed by...
