Acceptability Of Variation In Modern Hebrew Spirantization, Michal Temkin Martinez Jan 2009

Acceptability Of Variation In Modern Hebrew Spirantization, Michal Temkin Martinez

Michal Temkin Martinez

Modern Hebrew spirantization is an allophonic distribution where the stops [p], [b], and [k] regularly alternate with [f], [v], and [x], respectively, with the fricatives surfacing post-vocalically. There are exceptions to spirantization, with stops occurring post-vocalically and fricatives surfacing elsewhere. Additionally, variation has been attested in the regularly alternating pairs.

Results showed that, as hypothesized, variation was less natural than the expected form of a given word. Furthermore, variation in exceptional segments was rated less natural than variation in regularly alternating segments.
