Transitive Softening in Russian Conjugation

Coats, H. S.; Lightner, T. M.

Language, 51, 2, 338-341, Jun 75

Transitive softening, or the shift of a dental or velar to a palato-alveolar, and the insertion of a palatalized /1/ after a labial, are examined. The older transformational cycle of Halle is set aside in favor of a morphological rule. Productive and non-productive verb classes are analyzed. (SC)
