This book makes an important contribution to the expanding body of
work in generative phonology which aims to reduce the number of
traditionally recognized melodic categories in order to achieve a
greater degree of restrictiveness. By analyzing data from a large
number of different languages, Nasukawa establishes a clear
affinity between nasality and voicing, and demonstrates the
advantages of treating these two properties as different phonetic
manifestations of a single nasal-voice category. The choice of
whether to interpret this category as voicing or nasality is
determined by the active or inactive status of a complement tier;
when active, this complement tier enhances the acoustic image of
its head category and is interpreted as voicing. This study deepens
our understanding of the typological relation between nasality and
voicing, and sheds new light on a number of related agreement
phenomena such as nasal harmony, postnasal voicing assimilation,
voiced-obstruent voicing assimilation and spontaneous
prenasalisation.
