A Place for Lateral in the Feature Geometry.

Blevins, Juliette

Journal of Linguistics, v30 n2 p301-48 Sep 1994

Phonological models of feature geometry suggest that the internal structure of segments is highly articulated. Distinctive features are organized hierarchically within the segment, and this hierarchical organization is relatively stable across and within languages. In this study, the distinctive feature (lateral) is the focus of investigation. (84 references) (Author)
