- Title
NATURAL-ABSTRACT HEBREW PHONOLOGY.
- Authors
Bar-Lev, Z.
- Abstract
This article argues that consonant-gemination and a pharyngeal position of articulation exist on abstract phonological levels in Modern Hebrew, although they do not exist phonetically. In addition, it is suggested, on the basis of the Hebrew evidence, that the lines along which phonological theory must be constrained so as to allow such abstract phonological features only under the appropriate conditions. The two sounds [k,x] are traceable to no less than four distinct underlying sounds. The arguments referred in large part to substantive evidence, which relates to phonological processes themselves more directly than consideration of narrowly phonological facts.
