Problem 1: [10 points] The following English words are transcribed phonetically. For each one: i. Provide the standard English spelling of the word. ii. Draw a syllable tree for the word. a. i. [ˈΘəɹownəs]b.i.[ɹipejtɹiˈejʃn̩] ii.ii. Θ ə ɹ o w n ə sɹ i p e j t ɹ i e j ʃ n̩ Problem 2: [10 points] Sapanese syllables have the following structure: i. Maximum of 2 consonant in an onset, and the second one must be a liquid. ii. Maximum of 1 vowel in a nucleus. iii. Maximum of 1 consonant in a coda, and it must be a velar nasal. With these constraints in mind, provide syllable structure trees for the following words of Sapanese. (They are in phonetic transcription.) p e ŋ l op o ŋ g e i Problem 3: [9 points] HINT: Refer to tables 3.30 and 3.31 in the textbook. For each of the following rules, provide a description in words of the rule. a. [+cons, +son, -syll] [+syll] / σ [+cons, -son, -voice, -cont, -del rel] __ σ b.[-cons, +son, +syll] [+nasal] / [+cons, +son, -syll, +nasal] __ c.[+cons, -son, -cont, -del rel, -voice] [+spread glottis (SG)] /# __ Problem 4: [10 points] HINT: Refer to tables 3.30 and 3.31 in the textbook. a.Which formal feature(s) differentiate the sounds in the following pairs? x.[p] [b][ voice ] i.[i] [ɪ] ii.[ej] [ow] iii.[tʃ] [ʒ] iv.[f] [θ] v.[g] [ŋ] b.Identify the class of sounds in English expressed by the following bundles of features. x.____vowels_____i. ii.

Describe in words the distribution of the two allophones. b.What type of phonological process is this? Be as specific as possible. c.Now write the formal rule that derives these allophones from the phoneme using phonological features. In other words, convert the description you provided in (a) to a formal rule. d.Given your answers to (a-c), determine which of the following is a possible word of Italian? Write “y” beside the possible words and “n” beside the impossible ones. __ [daŋsa] __ [faŋgon] __ [nanna] __ [bonoŋk] 6
