侧鼻音和鼻音的矛盾和歧义

矛盾语段是一种语音，其跨语言模式特别多变，这为普遍特征理论制造了矛盾。这篇文章考察了横向液体，它的[持续]规范一直是有争议的主题，因为它们有能力同时与持续词和非连续词一起构图，而且因为从语音上讲，它们位于特征[持续]的两个不同发音定义之间的争论区。一项对561种语言发音模式的调查表明，像鼻音一样，侧面液体与连续体连用的频率几乎与非连续体连用的频率一样高。矛盾的音系行为被认为是自然的，在出现的区别特征理论中，语音模糊的部分是预期的，其中特征是声音模式的结果，而不是相反。
Ambivalent segments are speech sounds whose cross-linguistic patterning is especially variable, creating contradictions for theories of universal distinctive features. This paper examines lateral liquids, whose [continuant] specification has been the subject of controversy because of their ability to pattern both with continuants and with non-continuants, and because phonetically they are situated in the contested ground between two different articulatory definitions for the feature [continuant]. Evidence from a survey of sound patterns in 561 languages shows that lateral liquids, like nasals, pattern with continuants about as often as with non-continuants. Ambivalent phonological behaviour is argued to be natural and expected for phonetically ambiguous segments in a theory of emergent distinctive features where features are the result of sound patterns, rather than the other way around.
