... a specific type of denaturalization that involves a split between basic and derived strings. This includes generalization at a morpheme boundary, within a morphological category, as well as examples not so restricted. The former include assimilation in Finnish participles and compensatory lengthening...

... therefore must have spread across existing dialect boundaries. Sound changes discussed include the second compensatory lengthening and other changes to ns-clusters; the loss of the digamma and its consequences; contractions of vowels in hiatus and the system of long mid vowels; outcomes of Proto-Greek...

...-standing problems in Latin historical phonology, selected due to their apparent sensitivity to this structural unit: clear and dark /l/, inverse compensatory lengthening, syllabification before stop + liquid in vowel reduction, vocalic epenthesis in stop + /l/, and consonantal assimilations in voice, place...

... (along with its avoidance and inevitability), and compensatory lengthening. The last two are analyzed as a result of glide deletion, which is argued to be the primary motivation in Turkish for compensatory lengthening, as opposed to e.g. mora preservation. Processes that attracted much attention...

... of segments are covered, including various deletion (syncope, apocope) and insertion/epenthesis (anaptyxis, prothesis, paragoge) processes, along with compensatory lengthening of one sound triggered by the loss of another sound. Finally, shifts in the ordering of sounds (metathesis) are discussed. Perceptual...

... voiceless obstruent was realized as a geminate with minimal aerodynamic difficulty. Similar analyses explain the other two contexts: ‘/a/ + sonorant’ and ‘front vowel + /l/’.

... before nasal suffixes: Otherwise the pattern is not clear. We often find αρ ablauting with ερ and ρα ablauting with ρε, strongly suggesting that paradigmatic leveling is in question: Note that in the last example the development to ρα must have preceded the first compensatory lengthening. 291 But we also...

...-final coda. The chapter considers both stem-internal and affixal morphology. The conclusion summarizes the general characteristics of this system, and considers how it has developed diachronically. One important factor in the diachronic development is compensatory lengthening, which can still...

... weight hierarchy for syllables, in which more embedded sets are heavier. A variety of phonological phenomena are sensitive to weight, including stress, prosodic minimality, meter, end-weight, tone licensing, compensatory lengthening, syllable structure, reduplication, and allomorphy.
