		With the theoretical foundation laid out in the previous section, foot constraints and subcategorization constraints, we see that vowel laxing is triggered by the competition between foot wellformedness and prosodic requirement of suffixes.
		This is a typical case of trisyllabic shortening.
		A vowel does not become long simply because it is in the third syllable from the last, as trisyllabic shortening seems to indicate.

		Trisyllabic laxing which laxes a vowel in the antepenultemate syllable of words derived with suffixes like –ity is a lexical rule as it applies to divine (divinity), serene (serenity) and profane (profanity) but does not apply to nice (nicety) and obese (obesity).
		On the other hand, lexical rules such as trisyllabic laxing which laxes a vowel in the antepenultemate syllable of words is not a particular natural one for vowel shortening.
		One is sensitive to the morphological and lexical environment, eg, English trisyllable laxing rule.

	American and British English differences - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		By extension, trisyllabic words may have second-syllable stress in British as opposed to first- and third-syllable stress in American usage, as in exposé and Renaissance.
		Conversely, address (in the sense of designating a location; the oration has final-syllable stress everywhere), m(o)ustache and cigarette always have final-syllable stress in Britain, but have first-syllable stress for some Americans.
		The Commonwealth pronunciation is the naturalised one, a consequence of the so-called trisyllabic laxing.

	Natural Phonology (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Thus, in English, when electric takes the suffixity, its final /k/ becomes /s/ (‘velar softening’) when serene lakes the sulfixity the long [I:] becomes short [e](‘trisyltabic laxing’).
		Rules typically operate in selective fashion (not all /k/ phonemes become /s/ when followed by written i or e-kit, keep), are sensitive to grammatical considerations, and may tolerate exceptions (obese retains long [I;] in obesity, even though trisyllabic laxing would be expected to occur).
		Processes, on the other hand operate across the board with no exceptions.

		How does the language learner discover the correct environment for Trisyllabic Laxing, a rule of morphophonology?
		Most of the "discovery procedure" is identical to the process of learning a rule of allophony: the cases must be sifted through to determine what the context is in which a lax vowel predominates.
		Contemporary phonological theory is no better equipped to model the discovery of which aspects of a speech signal are phonemically redundant than phonological theory was 50 years ago.

		With the Tense-Vowel Shift analysis, the phonological representations of both tense and lax vowels remain unaffected by the GVS, but synchronic phonological rules implement the effect.
		lexical) phonological representations of both tense and lax vowels exhibit the effects of the GVS, and synchronic phonological rules reverse the effect for lax vowels.
		With a morphological analysis, the GVS changed the phonological representation of the tense vowels, and left the short vowels alone, resulting in lexical morphemes with allomorphs bearing a surface similarity, but different phonological representations (and spellings).

		Scottish Gaelic has a three way distinction with the proximate form being "sinn" (near cardinal vowel 1), medial being "seo" (a lax form of cardinal 7 -ish) and distal "siad" which is pretty schwalike but slightly higher.
		Subject: Hoosier As to the source for "hoosier", the best I've heard is that it comes from the frontier days, when barroom fights got rough and occasionally resulted in small body parts lying on the floor that someone would pick up afterwards and ask "whose ear".
		Thus, for many people a word such as -dueto- is trisyllabic [du.'e.to] and contrasts with, for instance, -duelo-, which is bisyllabic ['dwe.lo].

		Alternative solutions will be examined, as well as the relationship between phonology, history, and spelling.
		The main points will be: the use of "rules", their types and functions, their scope, domain, level, and ordering; the distinctive features; the major rules of English phonology, namely Trisyllabic Laxing, Vowel Shift, Spirantization, Velar Softening, Palatalization, Vowel Reduction, Glide Vocalization, Augmentation, CiV Tensing/Laxing, Yod Dropping, Voice-Assimilation, R-Liaison.
		There will be a written exam at the end of the course.

		The differences amongst these manifestations come about because of transformational rules, which are triggered by some but not all contexts in which the morpheme occurs.
		For example, the contrast in vowel quality between serene and serenity comes about because the suffix /Iti/ provides the context for the rule of Trisyllabic Laxing, a rule which is inapplicable to the base form.
		In this model, a rule either applies absolutely, or entirely fails to apply, to any given form.

		The format of the transformationalist approach forced phonologists to make choice as to the underlying form of words.
		Fable and electric are underlying, or at least closer to the underlying forms, and fabulous and electricity are derived by Trisyllabic Laxing and Palatalization respectively.
		The choice of the underlying form is a logical consequence of the fact that the longer forms are morphologically derived from the shorter ones.
