	Assibilation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Assibilation is the introduction of sibilance to a sound, to produce a sibilant consonant.
		In English, it assibilated to /ʃə/ (i.e., assibilation became /əsɪbɪleɪʃən/) and in Italian to /tsio/ or /dʒio/, as in attenzione and reggio.
		The process describes a linguistic change in which a consonant followed by /i/ or /e/ becomes a sibilant or fricative with loss of the following /i/ or /e/ (for example, the modern Italian pronunciation of medio as /medʒo/ or /metso/.) The process is probably universal in human languages.

		Thus assibilation is automatic before the inflectional suffix –i (plural).
		By contrast, assibilation before derivational affixes depends largely on the availability of the assibilated stem allomorphs in inflection: stems lacking [z]/[ts]-final alternants in inflection typically fail to assibilate before derivational affixes.
		Thus the verbalizing suffix –i seen above can attach to noun stems like (4.a), which undergo assibilation in their plurals, but is avoided on nouns like (4.b) which lack –i plurals and thus have invariant t/d finals in inflection.

		This is analogous to assibilation, an acoustic process where a dental stop [t] becomes [ts] before a high front vocoid (Kim 2001).
		The striking similarities between coronalization and assibilation lead me to argue that they are closely related, and that a formal analysis of assibilation (Kim 2001) can be adapted to account for coronalization.
		After comparing the typology of coronalization (Bhat 1978) to the typology of assibilation (Hall and Hamann 2003) I provide a thorough formal analysis of coronalization that takes both acoustic and articulatory factors into account.

		In this talk, I will evaluate the last two solutions in the light of four phonological processes in Finnish dialects: Vowel Deletion, Assibilation, Consonant Gradation, and Apocope.
		I first describe the interactions in terms of ordered rules, then show how the interaction facts must be interpreted in Stratal Optimality Theory, and point out a number of predictions.
		Next, I lay out a number of additional phonological, morphological, typological, and quantitative generalizations about Assibilation and Apocope and derive them in Stratal Optimality Theory using partially ordered grammars (Anttila 1997).

	Paper Details
		Hall & Hamann (2006) posit the following two implications: (a) Assibilation cannot be triggered by /i/ unless it is also triggered by by /j/, and (b) voiced stops cannot undergo assibilations unless voiceless ones do.
		We found that the friction phase of /tj/ was significantly longer than that of /ti/, and that the friction phase of /t/ in the assibilation context is significantly longer than that of /d/.
		Furthermore, we unexpectedly found that the friction phase of /tj/ is significantly longer than that of /di/.

		They share, among more common features, two which are considered characteristic: Anglo-Frisian Brightening, and assibilation of velars before front vowels.
		The other characteristic feature, which Frisian has carried on a step farther than English, is the assibilation of velars before front vowels.
		This last can be seen in the contrast between German Kirche, English church, and Frisian tserke, or German Käse, English cheese, and Frisian tsiis.

	Sounding gay
		Gay men are not the only group whose members sometimes speak with assibilation.
		Many New Yorkers of all persuasions, and some American Jews, also assibilate in ways similar to Quebec French or stereotypical gay speech.
		Moreover, gay men who speak with what a North American newsreader would consider an “accent” – such as British, Australian, or even Texan gays – rarely assibilate at all.

	Early Lithuanian Grammars
		You may recall from Chapter 2 that this means the pronunciation of c (ts) for č (English ch) and dz for dž and an assibilation of t to c and d to dz before ĭ type vowels.
		For example we encounter the nominative plural form paukschtei 'birds,' szodei 'words' which do not show the expected assibilation beside the forms paukschczei and szodzei which would correspond to standard Lithuanian paukščiai and žodžiai.
		In 1643 the East Prussian clergyman Kristupas Sapūnas (1589-1659), wrote the Compendium Crammaticae Lithuanicae, but this was not published until 1673 (by Teofilis Gotlibas Šulcas).
