Feature geometry and palatalization

The paper examines palatalization data from English, Polish and Croatian in the framework of Feature Geometry. It is shown that palatalization in the discussed data results in a number of phonologically diverse outputs, which cannot be accounted for by using one unique palatalization feature. Instea...
