LINA01H3 Lecture 1: Practice problems for final.pdf
Document Summary
Look at p. 292-295 of the textbook: southern kongo (spoken in angola) (adapted from the textbook p. 300, exercise 5) In southern kongo, a bantu language spoken in angola, the nonpalatal segments [t, s, z] are in complementary distribution with their palatal counterparts [t , , ], respectively, as shown in the following words: [ ima] (a) state the generalization of where each pair of segments occurs (i. e. [t] appears) What is your evidence? (c) provide one, single phonological rule that will account for all three allophonic variations. For the purposes of this problem, consider [t ] a alveo-palatal fricative, and use features in your rule. Make sure you read the allomorphy section of the textbook (p. 279-285). Look at p. 67-69 of your textbook: luganda (adapted from the textbook p. 305, exercise 14) Consider the following phonetic data from the bantu language luganda. (the data have been somewhat altered to make the problem easier. )
