Abstract This paper investigates place of articulation shifts involving heterosyllabic C[non-coronal]C[coronal] clusters. Such phenomena are found, among other languages, in the diachrony of Italiot Greek, where three typologically different historical stages are observed: (a) no shifts; (b) dorsal > labial shift; (c) dorsal, labial > coronal shift. Drawing on Rice's (1994) model of the Place node and the markedness hierarchy dorsal ≺ labial ≺ coronal (with “≺” denoting ‘more marked than’) (de Lacy 2002), I maintain that these shifts reduce the markedness of codas. The gradual typological changes are accounted for in terms of Property Theory (Alber & Prince 2015).

声音变化中的发音位置变化：通往无标记的渐进之路

摘要 本文研究了涉及异音节C[non-coronal]C[coronal]簇的发音位置变化。除其他语言外，此类现象在 Italiot Greek 的历时中发现，其中观察到三个类型不同的历史阶段：（a）没有变化；(b) 背侧 > 唇侧移位；(c) 背侧、唇侧 > 冠状移位。借鉴 Rice (1994) 的 Place 节点模型和标记层次背侧 ≺ 唇 ≺ 冠状（“≺” 表示“比标记更多”）（de Lacy 2002），我认为这些变化降低了尾声的标记性。逐渐的类型变化是根据财产理论（Alber & Prince 2015）来解释的。
