| Description | This paper investigates how palatalization (PAL) is triggered at morphological boundaries and proposes a model in which phonology applies two types of readjustment: one at the CV level and one at the subsegmental (melodic) level. We argue that both operations are lexically triggered: that is, shaped by lexically stored information which guides the phonological structure toward a form that can be externalized, that is, mapped onto phonetic form and thus made pronounceable. |
