Russian 'Undecided' Vocalic Phonems : For a Reinterpretation
According to the Russian orthographic tradition, the Moscow Phonological School identifies vowels in identical morphems in stressed position (the so-called 'strong position'), using derivation and inflexion. But when the vowel appears only in unstressed position, as for instance in the word vólo?sť, this phonem is considered as 'undecided'. We propose two complementary processes to reduce the number of these exceptions, which by the way allows to question the limits of strict structural method. 1. Use of historical alternations polnoglasie (pleophony) vs nepolnoglasie (reduced vocalism) such as vlasť ~ vólo?sť. In this case, the common semantic component (seme) {power} suggests that these two roots are allomorphs; the analogy with the pair molodoj ~ mladoj, mlad, mladšij in which both vocalic graphemes о correspond to the phoneme /o/ (see mólod, molóže) allows us to interpret vólo?sť as /v°ol°os°t'/. If Russian does not provide suitable reduced forms one can use data from South Slavonic (ko?róva = /kor°ov°a/ according to krava). Here is applied genetic and historical relationship. 2. Use of phonetic unstressed realizations. Igrá сап be interpreted as /igr°a/ thanks to the form ígr; in igrá the unstressed /i/ is realized as a medium [i]; such a bijective relation allows us to interpret i?kra ('caviar') as /ikr°a/, considering the realization [ikra:]. Such a phonetic approach can apply to a whole range of other undecided vowels, which makes the limits between phonology and phonetics less evident. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
