  • Multivalued Features for Consonants

  • Kay Williamson
  • Journal:
    Language / Volume 53 / Issue 4 / December 1977
    Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    12 March 2026, pp. 843-871

  • This paper argues that features should allow the expression of common phonological processes in such a way that the nature of the process will be formally explicit. Many such phonological processes will require multivalued rather than binary features. The following conventions are proposed: (1) Features are not wholly independent, but interact with each other and with syllable structure; (2) the neutral value of each multivalued feature is somewhere near the center of the scale; (3) more than one value of a feature can occur in the same segment, simultaneously (e.g. double articulations) or sequentially (e.g. affricates). Finally, a set of features for consonants is offered.

  • The so-called passive of Acehnese

  • Mark Durie
  • Journal:
    Language / Volume 64 / Issue 1 / March 1988
    Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    12 March 2026, pp. 104-113

  • The Mon Tasiek dialect of Acehnese (Indonesia) was analysed by Lawler 1977 as having a passive in which the verb agrees with the initial, or underlying, subject. His argument was that the preverbal NP in Acehnese has the expected properties of a surface subject, but that verb agreement was controlled by the underlying subject—which, in ‘passive’ clauses, is not the preverbal NP. This analysis was based on limited and unrepresentative data. In the light of more extensive data, Lawler's claim that the preverbal NP in Acehnese acts as a final subject does not hold. The most obvious—and, for syntactic theory, the least problematic conclusion—is that the so-called ‘underlying’ subject is in fact a surface grammatical relation; Acehnese has no passive, and its verbal agreement is a surface phenomenon.
