title: An alternative laryngeal analysis of languages with two obstruent series
DOI: http://doi.org/10.57133/evenyrbk.20or
keywords: laryngeal properties, phonological contrast, phonetic variation, laryngeal assimilation, language typology
abstract: Most current laryngeal analyses use two melodic elements (or distinctive features) to create two-way laryngeal contrasts in obstruents: |L| (or [voice]) in voicing languages like Hungarian and |H| (or [spread glottis]) in aspirating languages such as English. In this paper, I argue that |H| is enough to distinguish the two sets of obstruents in both language types and that languages only differ in the phonological processes operating on |H|, with a potential cross-linguistic variation in the phonetic realization of the obstruent series. I also show how binary-contrast systems can be categorized in this alternative analysis.
