Distribution and Timing of Glottalized Nasals in Athabaskan Sharon Hargus University of Washington February 11, 2005 Outline Background Distribution and timing of glottalization in Athabaskan Witsuwit’en and Deg Xinag Distribution of glottalized nasals Timing of glottalized nasals Conclusions Glottalized sonorants: timing possibilities Ladefoged and Maddieson 1996: 109: Laryngeal constriction can be ‘centered at’ the oral closure or can occur ‘at the beginning or the end’ of a nasal consonant Plauché 1998:140: ‘creaky voice and often full glottal closure preceding, simultaneous to, and following the sonorant are found as acoustic cues for glottalization of sonorants’ Kingston 1990: implies that glottalized sonorants vary much more in timing than glottalized stops Glottalized sonorants: timing preferences Silverman 1997:98: with glottalized nasals, ‘leftward laryngealization is preferred to rightward laryngealization’ ‘…non-modally phonated sonorant consonants are realized with laryngeal gestures phased to the early portion of the supralaryngeal configuration.’ (p. 106) But Silverman was only discussing prevocalic glottalized nasals. Glottalized sonorants: distributional preferences V__ Steriade 1999:102 ‘a preglottalized segment…will depend for optimal identification of its laryngeal category on…a preceding vowel or sonorant’ Blevins 2004:95: ‘word-initial neutralization of sonorant pre-glottalization is common, while word-final neutralization of pre-glottalization is rare’ Interaction of timing, distribution In Yowlumne (Newman 1944:15), glottalized sonorants can ‘never appear initially in a word or in a syllable that follows a closed syllable.’ Steriade 1999: since glottalized sonorants are pre-glottalized, exclusively post-vocalic distribution timing Therefore, Licensing by Cue is more explanatory than Licensing by Prosody Timing and distribution in Yowlumne Howe and Pulleyblank 2001: Steriade’s analysis is wrong on two counts Yowlumne glottalized so
