For example, /s/-initial clusters need not respect the sonority rise required of obstruent-initial branching onsets (in Indo-European) /s/ also commonly resists participating in processes that target or yield voiceless fricatives (e.g. s/, by contrast, is often less restricted. For example, obstruents prefer to be in onset followed by segments of higher sonority. Series: Studies in Phonetics and PhonologyĪ cross-linguistic examination of phonological behaviour generally supports the position that obstruents, except for /s/, form a single sonority class. The challenges to sonority that these studies reveal is discussed in the concluding chapters where alternatives to this concept are explored. This volume expands the application of sonority to include languages of Africa, Asia, and the Americas, as well as phonological development in lesser reported languages. Until now, sonority has most often been applied to languages commonly described in the linguistics literature. This collection extends our knowledge of the important phonological concept of sonority to a range of languages (many of them under-described languages).
