In Kaiw\u00e1 (Tup\u00ed, Bridgeman 1961), for example, nasals are prenasalized before oral (\/ma\/ > [mba]) but not nasal (\/m\u00e3\/ > [m\u00e3]) vowels.  Herbert (1986:199) claims that shielding occurs to protect a contrast in vocalic nasality: if Kaiw\u00e1 \/ma\/ were realized as [ma], the [a] would likely carry some degree of nasal coarticulation, and be less distinct from nasal \/\u00e3\/ as a result.  This paper provides new arguments for Herbert\u0092s position.  I show that a contrast-based analysis of shielding correctly predicts a number of typological generalizations, and argue that any successful analysis of shielding must make reference to contrast.\n<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speaker: Juliet Stanton (MIT) Title: Environmental shielding is contrast preservation Date: Monday, October 5th Time: 5-6:30 Place: 32D-831 The term \u0093environmental shielding\u0094 refers to a class of processes where the phonetic realization of a nasal depends on its vocalic context.
