Indeed, this configuration seems to be rather unmarked, especially when compared to nasal–non-stop clusters. Generally viewed, the combination of a nasal and a continuant segment usually establishes a very unstable relation which often results in various “repair” strategies. It is conspicuous that – unlike in the case of nasal–stop clusters – in nasal–continuant clusters place assimilation is frequently avoided. The purpose of this paper is to investigate these strategies through syncronic and diacronic processes in various languages. An attempt is made to explain the reason for the instability and its resolution, making use of the notion of segmental complexity within a recent offspring of Government Phonology, the strict CV model. \\ ''PDF:'' [[this>_media/02ki.pdf|   full text]] \\ ''refs:'' ++ ⟨BibTeX⟩ | \\ ''@article{even02ki, \\   author  = {Zoltán Kiss}, \\   title   = {Complexity effects in nasal–continuant clusters}, \\   year    = 2002, \\   journal = {The Even Yearbook}, \\   volume  = 5, \\   pages   = {57--76}, \\   url     = {http://seas.elte.hu/w/!even/02ki} \\ }''\\ ++ ++ ⟨RIS⟩ | \\ ''TY  - JOUR \\ AU  - Kiss,Zoltán \\ PY  - 2002/​/​/ \\ TI  - Complexity effects in nasal–continuant clusters \\ T2  - The Even Yearbook \\ VL  - 5 \\ SP  - 57 \\ EP  - 76 \\ UR  - http://seas.elte.hu/w/!even/02ki \\ ER  -''\\ ++ ++ ⟨txt⟩ | \\ '' Kiss, Zoltán. 2002.
