This book provides an integrated account of the phonetic causes of
the diachronic processes of palatalization and assibilation of
velar and labial stops and labiodental fricatives, as well as the
palatalization and affrication of dentoalveolar stops. While
previous studies have been concerned with the typology of sound
inventories and of the processes of palatalization and
assibilation, this volume not only deals with the typological
patterns but also outlines the articulatory and acoustic causes of
these sound changes. In his articulation-based account, Daniel
Recasens argues that the affricate and fricative outcomes of these
changes developed via an intermediate stage, namely an
(alveolo)palatal stop with varying degrees of closure fronting.
Particular emphasis is placed on the one-to-many relationship
between the input and output consonant realizations, on the
acoustic cues that contribute to the implementation of these sound
changes, and on the contextual, positional, and prosodic conditions
that most favour their development. The analysis is based on
extensive data from a wide range of language families, including
Romance, Bantu, Slavic, and Germanic, and draws on a variety of
sources, such as linguistic atlases, articulatory and acoustic
studies, and phoneme identification tests.
