| summary | Common sound patterns often reflect common instances of sound change. Since the most common instances of sound change appear to be those with clear and robust phonetic conditioning, there is a direct link in this model between phonetically motivated sound change and common sound patterns. In contrast, rare sound patterns may reflect rare types of sound change, rare historical sequences of change, lack a source in phonetically motivated sound change, reflect language-specific analogical change, or, for other reasons, be the endpoint of a highly unlikely evolutionary pathway. Lecture 2 presents a range of natural sound patterns that reflect common instances of phonetically based sound change (assimilation, dissimilation, lenition, fortition, glide-epenthesis), as well as unnatural sound patterns that have distinct sources. This lecture also revisits the question raised by Blust (2005) as to whether all instances of regular sound change are phonetically motivated. |
