Danish Vowels – Surface Contrast versus Underlying Form

Published/Copyright: November 20, 2009
Phonetica
From the journal Phonetica Volume 52 Issue 3

Abstract

The paper presents the outcome of some very recent sound changes, which add to the already considerable inventory of surface vowel contrasts in Danish. It claims that a classical structuralist phonological account of the vowel inventory is not satisfactory if psychological reality of phonological entities is a criterion. The only reasonable abstract representation is a morphophonological one.
