Abstract
Les As. tentent de resoudre un type de paradoxe de sous-specification en adaptant les notions de classement des contraintes et de violabilite fournies par la Theorie de l'Optimalite. Ils examinent pour cela la question de la sonorisation des nasales obstruantes en japonais

The apparently vast number of speech sounds found in the languages of the world turn out to be surface-level realisations of a limited number of combinations of a very small set of such features – some twenty or so, in current analyses.

This paper proposes to investigate some consequences of this third kind of modularisation of phonological theory, the approach which has come to be known as LEXICAL PHONOLOGY.

This paper argues for a theory in which epenthesis results from the interrelated requirements of prosody and not from obligatory skeletal insertion rules.

The objective was to establish a baseline level of confidence that was high enough to enable us to assess the importance of the co-occurrence restrictions in place assimilation.
PhonologySegment structure and coronal underspecification
235 Citations1989Peter Avery, Keren Rice
Ponapean, Catalan and English provide strong evidence that the Coronal node must be absent in underlying representation, and thus the NAC does not force the presence of a Coronal nodes.

A careful examination reveals that the formalism of Radical Underspecification is neither successful nor necessary in expressing insights, and the empirical substance of these formal devices is identified.

This paper examines certain aspects of the phonology of nasal segments that bear on the motivation or source of combinatorial restrictions, and their cross -linguistic variability, strength, and the manners in which they manifest themselves.
