The choice of the strategy is not predictable from the nature or quality of the vowels involved.  In this talk I will argue that the choice of the hiatus resolution strategy can be accounted for by making recourse to syntactic structure; specifically to the presence or absence of strong phase boundaries between the vowels in hiatus.  Building on the work of Marvin 2003, Piggott and Newell 2006, and Michaels 2008 I will propose a set of constraints that favor greater faithfulness to material spelled out in an earlier phase to account for the choice of Tseltal vowel hiatus resolution strategy.<\/P><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speaker: Kirill Shklovsky Title: Syntactically-Conditioned Phonology: The Case of Tseltal Vowel Hiatus Resolution Time: Thurs 5\/14, 12:30-1:45 Place: 32-D461 Tseltal, a Mayan language of southern Mexico, has a strict prohibition against vowel hiatus: all vowel hiatus must be resolved either by deleting one of the vowels or epenthesizing a consonant.
