Perceptual effects of assimilation-induced violation of final devoicing in Dutch

Willemina A. van Donselaar, Anne Cutler

Research output: Chapter in Book / Conference Paper › Conference Paper

Abstract

![CDATA[Voice assimilation in Dutch is an optional phonological rule which changes the surface forms of words and in doing so may 'violate the otherwise obligatory phonological rule of syllable-final devoicing. We report two experiments examining the influence of voice assimilation on phoneme processing in lexical compound words and in noun-verb phrases. Processing was not irnpaired in appropriate assimilation contexts across rnorpheme boundaries, but was impaired when devoicing was violated (a) in an inappropriate (non-assimlilatory) context, or (b) across a syntactic boundary.]]
