Variation Patterns in Across-Word Regressive Assimilation in Picard: An Optimality Theoretic Account.

Cardoso, Walcir

Language Variation and Change, v13 n3 p305-41 2001

Offers an optimality theoretic account for the phonological process of across-word regressive assimilation (AWRA) in Picard, a Gallo-Romance dialect spoken in the Picardie region in Northern France and Southern Belgium. Focuses on the varieties spoken in the Vimeu region of France. Examines one particular topic in the analysis of AWRA: the variation patterns observed in the application of the phenomenon.
