Empty Consonants In Root-Medial Position, Stephen A. Marlett

Work Papers of the Summer Institute of Linguistics, University of North Dakota Session

Evidence is given that empty consonants occur in root-medial position in Seri, which bears on the observation in Broselow 1995 (Skeletal positions and moras) that such had not been described in the literature. This brief work complements an earlier publication (Marlett and Stemberger 1983, Empty consonant positions in Seri) which posited such consonants at the beginning of various verbs.
