Phonology as Human Behavior: A Combinatory Phonology of Byelorussian

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

This paper applies the theory of Phonology as Human Behavior to an analysis of the distribution of consonants in monosyllabic words in Byelorussian. Like other languages, Byelorussian shows a direct connection between the effort that speakers make to control the active articulators, involved in the production of phonemes, and the favorings or the disfavorings of these phonemes in various phonotactic distributions.
