Types of Phonological Rules
Phonological processes can also be categorized into different types
Assimilation Dissimilation Insertion Deletion Metathesis Strengthening Weakening

Assimilation
Assimilation is when a sound becomes more like a neighboring sound with respect to some phonetic property

English Nasals
I can ask [ɑɪ kæn æsk]I can see [ɑɪ kæn si]I can bake [ɑɪ kæm beɪk] I can play [ɑɪ kæm pleɪ] I can go [ɑɪ kæŋ goʊ] I can come [ɑɪ kæŋ kʌm]

English Nasals
Place assimilation in nasals
I can ask [ɑɪ kæn æsk]I can see [ɑɪ kæn si]I can bake [ɑɪ kæm beɪk] I can play [ɑɪ kæm pleɪ] I can go [ɑɪ kæŋ goʊ] I can come [ɑɪ kæŋ kʌm]
The nasal has the same place of articulation as the stop following it
/n/ [m] / __C[labial]
/n/ [ŋ] / __ C[velar]
/n/ [n] / elsewhere
Very common process across languages

Finnish Vowel Harmony
/-ssa/ „in‟[-ssa] or [-ssæ]
[talo] „house‟ [talo-ssa] „in the house‟[metsæ] „forest‟ [metsæ-ssæ] „in the forest
![Page 7: Ling 403/603 Introduction to Phonologyudel.edu/~koirala/phonology/day5.pdf · Introduction to Phonology. ... Metathesis of a consonant and a vowel ... The rules that a schema expands](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062600/5ad756f17f8b9a32618c2f5b/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Finnish Vowel Harmony
Vowel backness assimilation
/-ssa/ „in‟[-ssa] or [-ssæ]
[talo] „house‟ [talo-ssa] „in the house‟[metsæ] „forest‟ [metsæ-ssæ] „in the forest
/-ssa/ [-ssæ] / preceded by a front vowel in same word/-ssa/ [-ssa] / elsewhere
Vowel harmony is a subclass of assimilation Many languages also exhibit vowel harmony of other features such as
height, tenseness, and rounding (Turkish)

Dissimilation
Dissimilation is a rule where two close or adjacent sounds become less alike with respect to some property

Greek Stops
Manner dissimilation in stops
/epta/ [efta] „seven‟/ktizma/ [xtizma] „building‟
Note: [x] is a voiceless velar fricative
/C[stop]/ [C[fricative]] / __ C[stop]
A stop becomes a fricative when followed by another stop

Insertion
Insertion is when a sound appears in the surface phonetic form which was not in the underlying phonemic form

nasal

Deletion
Deletion is when a sound which is present in the underlying phonemic form is not expressed at all in the surface phonetic form

English /h/
The deletion of /h/
„He handed her his hat‟
/hi hændəd hər hɪz hæt/
[hi hændəd Øər Øɪz hæt]
/h/ [Ø] / in unstressed syllables
/h/ is deleted in unstressed syllables

Metathesis
Metathesis occurs when there is a change in order of sounds

A hypothetical example
UR SR UR SR
• What is the environment for metathesis?

Strengthening
Strengthening (fortition) occurs when a sound becomes stronger
English Aspiration/C[voiceless stops]/ [C[aspirated]] / $[stress]__
Voiceless stops become aspirated at the beginning of stressed syllables Aspirated stops are considered stronger because the duration of
voicelessness is much longer than in unaspirated stops
![Page 21: Ling 403/603 Introduction to Phonologyudel.edu/~koirala/phonology/day5.pdf · Introduction to Phonology. ... Metathesis of a consonant and a vowel ...

Weakening
Weakening (lenition) is when a sound becomes weaker
English Flapping
/C[alveolar oral stop]/ [ɾ] / V[stress] __ V[unstress]
An aveolar oral stop /t/ or /d/ becomes a flap when it occurs after a stressed V and before an unstressed V
The flap is weaker because it is shorter and obstructs air less than the aveolar stops

The rules that a schema expands into are disjunctively ordered. Informally, you try to apply the first one first. If the structural description is met, you apply that first rule and don‟t try any of the rules from the same schema. If not, move on to the next rule and proceed in the same fashion. You never apply two rules of the same schema to a single word.
