Rhotic underspecification: Deriving variability and arbitrariness through phonological representations
2020
Glossa
Rhotics show considerable surface variation, which has precluded classification based on cohesive articulatory or acoustic properties. Yet they tend to display consistent patterns of behavior in relation to other phonemes within the phonological system. In this article, I argue that this apparently conflicting behavior among r-sounds is a direct result of the lack of positive content in their phonological representations. That is, the basic phonological structure of a rhotic is an unspecified
