Lee, Minkyung. “English Consonant Allophony: the Case of Secondary Articulation Assimilation.” Studies in English Language & Literature 43.4 (2017): 251-271. English, like many other languages, shows assimilation phenomena in a causal and fast speech whereby a target sound harmonizes with the features of place, manner and/or voicing of its neighboring trigger sound within a word or across a morpheme boundary. As a result, two adjacent segments become partially similar or totally the same. Furthermore, English also characterizes a secondary articulation of a consonant in which some of vowel features affect the articulation of a target consonant. This is called consonant secondary place assimilation. A vowel feature of tongue height gives rise to palatalization, that of lip rounding induces labialization and that of tongue back velarization in consonant secondary articulation. Adopting Harmonic Serialism(HS)(McCarthy, 2007, 2008a, b, 2009), well-couched into Optimality Theory(OT) (Prince and Smolensky, 1993/2004; McCarthy and Prince, 1995), this paper analyzes the target data of English consonant secondary articulation assimilation phenomena and shows how they are appropriately dealt with not by feature spreading but by feature sharing.
