The Implications of Wichita Phonology

Rood, David S.

Language, 51, 2, 315-337, Jun 75

The phonological system and morphophonemic rules of the Wichita language are examined. Observations are made regarding union and deletion, delayed release to distinguish /c/ from /t/, palatalization of /t/, and a new feature hierarchy. Also discussed is the psychology of speaking a language in which one speech event frequently has many underlying representations. (SC)
