I will point out that \/N\/, a moraic nasal, which is never a nuclear component of a syllable and hence can never be accented according to McCawley and later works, actually stands out as an independent syllabic nucleus at some morphological peripheries. This syllabic \/N\/ can be accent-bearing and can undergo Initial Lowering, another signatory tonal phenomenon that is typically observed only with a syllabic nucleus. The presentation also points out that the syllabic \/N\/ is only for the borrowings and mimetics, while we find an independent phenomenon in the Yamato (native Japanese) stratum that derives a string that appears to derive a syllabic \/Q\/, moraic obstruent, and that this constitutes a counterargument to Ito and Mester\u0092s (1995) strata-dependent reranking hypothesis.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speaker: Koichi Tateishi (Kobe College\/MIT) Title: Trimoraicity and Monomoraicity: Cases in Japanese Date\/Time:\u00a0Monday, May 14, 2018, 5:00-6:30pm Location:\u00a032-D831 Abstract: This presentation is about Japanese syllables, which appear to be one of the best-studied areas in\u00a0phonology, starting from McCawley (1968) and traditional Japanese linguistics papers preceding it.
