This book provides a detailed analysis of two major aspects -
glottalization and nasalization - of the phonology and phonetics of
Coatzospan Mixtec, as well as an overview of the segmental
phonology of the language. From a descriptive perspective, this
work provides the first published phonetic data on Coatzospan
Mixtec, one of the many underdescribed indigenous languages of the
Americas. Of theoretical importance, the phonological analyses of
glottalization and nasalization serve as examples of how optimality
theory can be implemented in the extended treatment of a single
language, in contrast to the typological emphasis of most
optimality research. By focusing in detail on the whole of
nasalization and glottalization systems, the book explores the
implications of optimality theory for the traditional notion of
underlying representation in phonological theory and motivates an
extension of the mechanism of constraint conjunction to include
conditional relations holding between distinct constraints in the
grammar. At the same time, the phonetic analyses provide an example
of a detailed treatment of the phonetic implementation of
nasalization and glottalization in the Windows framework. Of
special interest here is the relation between phonetic data and
phonological feature specification. In particular, the data
illustrate the complexity of the relationship between patterns of
phonetic implementation and feature specification and lead to the
conclusion that phonetic data must be interpreted in the context of
the phonological system from which they are derived. This book is
of interest to linguists in general, and especially to researchers
in both phonology and phonetics, to thoseinterested in field work
on underdescribed languages, and to those interested in Native
American languages and linguistics.
