Solé, Maria-Josep 2012 Natural and unnatural patterns of sound change?The Initiation of Sound Change: Perception, production, and social factors, Solé, Maria-Josep and Daniel Recasens (eds.), pp. 123–146 | Article
Sound changes that occur in different languages have been considered more natural than those that do not. Because natural sound changes have been shown to have a phonetic basis, less common outcomes in the exact same context have been considered phonetically anomalous. This paper argues that sound… read more
Solé, Maria-Josep 2009 Acoustic and aerodynamic factors in the interaction of features: The case of nasality and voicingPhonetics and Phonology: Interactions and interrelations, Vigário, Marina, Sónia Frota and M. João Freitas (eds.), pp. 205–234 | Article
This paper presents an account of the physical factors responsible for crosslinguistically common patterns of co-occurrence between values of the features [voice] and [nasal]. Specifically, it offers explanations for why nasals are typically voiced and why voiced obstruents are often accompanied by… read more
Solé, Maria-Josep 2007 The stability of phonological features within and across segments: The effect of nasalization on fricationSegmental and prosodic issues in Romance phonology, Prieto, Pilar, Joan Mascaró and Maria-Josep Solé (eds.), pp. 41–65 | Article
This paper argues that the articulatory-acoustic stability of phonological features may be affected not only by concurrent features, but also by features in adjacent segments which may coincide in time due to coarticulatory overlap. Specifically, the paper illustrates how frication may be… read more
Solé, Maria-Josep 1994 New Ways of Analyzing Sound Change: Speech rate effectsSound Change, Dominicy, Marc and Didier Demolin (eds.), pp. 21–44 | Article
Abstract. Synchronic and diachronic sound change may involve (1) the phonologization of an effect of phonetic implementation, or (2) the lexicalization of phonetic or phonogical processes. This paper seeks to determine the phonologization and lexicalization of phonetic and phonological effects on… read more
