有人认为，关于鼻塞序列分布的某些类型学概括可以通过明确引用对比来解释(例如Herbert 1977,1986；Jones 2000)。本文探讨了关于鼻塞序列分布的所有概括都可以通过明确引用对比来解释的假设，并介绍了旨在检验这一假设的多个跨语言研究的结果。我首先展示的是，考虑到鼻塞序列及其组成部分(鼻音和鼻塞)之间的对比线索，我们可以准确地预测关于音素鼻塞序列分布的概括(即，那些在语音上与其他片段类型进行对比的序列)。然后，我指出，考虑到口语和鼻音元音之间的对比线索，我们可以准确地预测关于音素鼻塞序列分布的概括(即那些与其他音段类型没有音素对比的鼻塞序列)，以及关于音素鼻塞序列在语音鼻化和鼻化元音的上下文中的分布的概括。总的来说，本文提出的结果提供了更多的证据，表明限制对比是共时语音语法的一个必要组成部分(例如，Lindblom 1986；Flemming 2002,2008b；Padgett 2009)。论文导师：Adam Albright职称：语言学教授论文导师：Edward Flemming职称：语言学副教授论文导师：Donca Steriade职称：语言学教授
It has been argued that certain typological generalizations regarding the distribution of nasal-stop sequences can be explained by explicitly referencing contrast (e.g. Herbert 1977, 1986; Jones 2000). This thesis explores the hypothesis that all generalizations regarding the distribution of nasal-stop sequences can be explained by explicitly referencing contrast, and presents the results of multiple cross-linguistic studies designed to test that hypothesis. I show first that taking into consideration cues to the contrasts between nasal-stop sequences and their component parts (nasals and stops) allows us to accurately predict generalizations regarding the distribution of phonemic nasal-stop sequences (i.e. those that are phonemically contrastive with other segment types). Following this I show that taking into consideration cues to the contrast between oral and nasal vowels allows us to accurately predict generalizations regarding the distribution of allophonic nasal-stop sequences (i.e. those not phonemically contrastive with other segment types), as well as generalizations regarding the distribution of phonemic nasal-stop sequences in the context of phonemically nasal and allophonically nasalized vowels. Broadly, the results presented here contribute to a larger body of evidence that constraints on contrast are a necessary component of the synchronic phonological grammar (following e.g. Lindblom 1986; Flemming 2002, 2008b; Padgett 2009).
