Description

"This book provides a detailed analysis of two major aspects - glottalization and nasalization - of the phonology and phonetics of Coatzospan Mixtec, as well as an overview of the segmental phonology of the language. From a descriptive perspective, this work provides the first published phonetic data on Coatzospan Mixtec, one of the many underdescribed indigenous languages of the Americas. Of theoretical importance, the phonological analyses of glottalization and nasalization serve as examples of how Optimality Theory can be implemented in the extended treatment of a single language, in contrast to the typological emphasis of most Optimality research."--Jacket. "This book is of interest to linguists in general, and especially to researchers in both phonology and phonetics, to those interested in field work on underdescribed languages, and to those interested in Native American languages and linguistics."--Jacket.
