Abstarct

It is argued that proxy relations between feature-defining and enhancing gestures in the phonetics can become phonologized. The article proposes Optimality-theoretic markedness constraints, which are grounded in phonetic enhancement and which can compel a delinked/unparsed/floating feature to be realized with another feature (or prosodic element), giving the impression of featural transmutation. Among the phonological phenomena revisited are incomplete neutralization, devoicing, vocalization, and debuccalization.

Résumé

Résumé

Cet article prône l'idée que les rapports de substitution, en phonétique, entre les gestes définitoires de traits et les gestes de consolidation peuvent se phonologiser. Sont proposées, dans le cadre de la Théorie de l'Optimalité, des contraintes sur la marque fondées sur la consolidation du contraste phonétique; celles-ci peuvent forcer la réalisation d'un trait flottant/délié/non analysé par un autre trait (ou élément prosodique), donnant ainsi l'impression d'une transmutation de traits. Parmi les phénomènes phonologiques revus selon cette optique figurent la neutralisation incomplète, le dévoisement, la vocalisation et la débuccalisation.
