This paper introducessubfeatural representationsto capture subphonemic distinctions at work in ‘subphonemic teamwork’. The unusual case of Laal is presented, in which rounding harmony requires two triggers: a round vowel and a labial consonant. The coarticulatory effect of the labial consonant is shown, on the basis of instrumental evidence, to incur a distinctive, but non-contrastive, intermediate level of rounding on the target vowel, analysed as being featurally [−round], but subfeaturally 〚xround〛 (0 <x< 1). 〚xround〛 vowels are shown to form a separate natural class, which can be independently targeted by phonological processes. Subfeatural representations are argued to constitute an advantageous reification of phonetic knowledge, forming a more solid basis for phonetically driven models of phonology. This proposal builds on the insights of previous literature that perceptual representations are needed in phonology, while eschewing the need for direct reference to phonetics.

次特征表示理论:Laal 中的舍入和谐案例

本文介绍次特征表示在“亚音素团队合作”中捕捉工作中的亚音素区别。呈现了一个不寻常的 Laal 案例,其中圆润和声需要两个触发器:圆润元音和唇辅音。根据工具证据,唇辅音的共同发音效应会在目标元音上产生独特但非对比的中间水平圆角,分析为特征性[-round],但亚特征性〚X圆〛 (0 <X< 1)。〚Xround〛 元音被显示形成一个单独的自然类,可以通过语音过程独立定位。次特征表示被认为构成了语音知识的有利具体化,为语音驱动的语音模型奠定了更坚实的基础。该提议建立在先前文献的见解之上,即语音学需要感知表征,同时避免直接参考语音学的需要。
