Abstract. In this paper I suggest that the long-elusive explanation of the Nahuatl saltillo lies in sound laws that refer to specific combinations of specific syllable-final consonants (some of them originally syllable-medial ones that become syllable-final after syncope) in specific environments. Once we realize that there is more than one source for the saltillo, we are led toward a solution to one of the longest- standing issues in Uto-Aztecan comparative linguistics. Although many questions cannot be settled finally at this stage (because of the paucity of examples where we can be sure of the exact shape of the Proto-Uto-Aztecan forms), it is important to note that the evidence does appear sufficient to provide new support for the reconstruction of certain syllable-final consonants in PUA.
Abstract. The paucity of published Proto-Iroquoian reconstructions results, in part, from the difficulties associated with the reconstruction of the vowel system. The basic vowel correspondences among the Iroquoian languages--that is, those correspondences that account for the majority of cognate sets--have been known for decades. However, no previous reconstruction of the full Proto-Iroquoian vowel system has appeared in print. In addition, certain marginal correspondences and alternations remain that have not been adequately explained. Reexamination of these data results in an alternative reconstruction of the vowel system of Proto-Northern Iroquoian.
Abstract. This paper describes the phonetic inventory of the San Felipe Jalapa de Díaz dialect of Mazatec (Jalapa Mazatec). The sound system of Jalapa Mazatec is unusual in possessing a great number of linguistically significant laryngeal contrasts in both its consonant and vowel inventories. We focus on instrumental analyses of breathy vowels, creaky vowels, and so-called ballistic syllables, as well as glottalized and voiceless sonorant consonants.
