Document Summary
Fonts: doulos sil, titus cyberbit basic, latex coding problem. Phonetic change without phonemic change: allophonic change: an established phoneme develops a new allophone in an established position. John ohala and the phonetics of sound change. Ohala only considers sound changes to be attested independently, mainly concerned of the preconditions but not their triggers or how they spread. Relevant phonetic discoveries: infinite variability of speech: much more variation in speech, parallels between phonetic variation and sound change: similar to rules of synchronic alteration, variation in acoustic auditory domain, variation in . Tonal distinctions develop out of the former voiced vs. voiceless contrast on prevocalic consonants: tonogenesis, higher following voiceless consonants. Occurs on vowels in words lacking any phonemic nasal segment: environment it occurs high air flow, such as voiceless fricatives, common factor is that they all have geminate consonants, resolution of geminates: i. e. pii * wi. Pie labiovelars ( = labialized velars) developed into labial in greek: examples .
