| Summary: | This paper begins to address the alternation between simple vs. complex shewa in the environment of the Hebrew gutturals. Specifically, this paper is limited to one interesting subset of data: guttural-initial verbs. The initial observation was that the following, medial root consonant conditioned the alternation. This observation was elevated to a hypothesis of contact anaptyxis induced by sonority differences. In turn, the data permitted, ex hypothesi, the induction of a Hebrew sonority scale with intercalated gutturals that holds great interest in crosslinguistic perspective. This study lays the groundwork for research of broader scope. |
