Danish Vowels – Surface Contrast versus Underlying Form

  • Nina Grønnum
Published/Copyright: November 20, 2009

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.
