2	The dependency relations within Xhosa phonological processes Podile, K. (Kholisa) 06 1900 (has links) The dissertation examines mainly segmental assimilatory processes of Xhosa phonology within the dependency framework. This model is a multi-faceted approach which involves hierarchical organisation of features into larger constituents known as gestures. The analysis includes an elementary historical background to the development of phonological theory with emphasis on the shift from traditional linear approaches to modern non-linear models, as well as a shift from derivational theories to representational frameworks. An exploration of the phonetics/phonology interface through the application of gestures is considered an advantage of using the dependency framework over other theories of phonology. The focus of the dissertation is the description of phonetically-motivated and morphologically-motivated Xhosa phonological processes. A brief exposition of the use of the dependency framework in non-assimilatory Xhosa phonological processes is given as a possible recommendation in the conclusion of the dissertation. / Language Education, Arts and Culture / M.A. (African Languages) Dependency relations Gestures Segmental assimilatory processes Hierarchical organisation Degrees of sonority Dependency components Preponderance/Government Phonetic/Phonological interface Phonetically-motivated processes Morphologically-motivated processes Acoustic substantiations Affixation 496.39855 Xhosa language -- Phonetics Xhosa language -- Phonology
