是什么原因导致印尼语的词尾/k/，美国英语的词尾/t/，西班牙语的词尾/s/？这篇文章表明，所有三个观察到的lenition模式可以使用一个单一的原则的动机：语言优先lenite段，提供相对较低的信息量相比，这些段在其他语言中携带的信息量。在一个不同的样本的七种语言的比较，从最不发达国家CALLHOME和CALLFRIEND语料库，印尼语/k/，美国英语/t/，西班牙语/s/被发现有最低的信息量，预测他们将更有可能受到影响的声音变化过程。在随后的回归为基础的语料库研究，低信息量预测的倾向，在美国英语的所有obstruents语音和音韵因素控制后的词尾延音。因此，这篇文章提供了一个著名的驱动问题（Weinreich等，1968年）的部分解决方案，就驱动的轻化过程。
What causes Indonesian to lenite word-final /k/, American English to lenite word-final /t/, and Spanish to lenite word-final /s/? This article shows that all three observed lenition patterns can be motivated using a single principle: languages preferentially lenite segments that provide relatively low informativity compared to the amount of informativity those segments carry in other languages. In a comparison of a diverse sample of seven languages from the LDC CALLHOME and CALLFRIEND corpora, Indonesian /k/, American English /t/, and Spanish /s/ are found to have the lowest informativity, predicting that they would be more likely to be affected by sound change processes. In a subsequent regression-based corpus study, low informativity predicted the propensity of word-final lenition of all obstruents in American English after phonetic and phonological factors were controlled for. This article therefore provides a partial solution to the famous actuation problem (Weinreich et al. 1968) with respect to the actuation of lenition processes.
