When an English affix brings identical consonants together, are they pronounced as one consonant or as a longer sound? Sonia Ben Hedia investigates this question through the relationship between word structure, phonological organization and measured speech.
The study examines how different affixes and morphological boundaries affect consonant duration, comparing patterns in naturally occurring and experimental material. Statistical analyses and acoustic evidence test competing accounts of gemination and degemination. The complete monograph preserves its linguistic examples, figures, appendices and references.
