0 a consonant sound that is made by forcing air through a narrow space:
The /s/ in "said" and the /z/ in "zoo" are fricatives.
In the model, word final stops and fricatives were given weaker representations in the normal case to reflect their lower salience.
Wiese proposes an analysis of assimilation of the fricative to a preceding back vowel within the phonological word.
Both of these analyses incorrectly predict that affricates and fricatives should undergo assimilation.
The measurements therefore represented tokens of vowels in environments with a range of surrounding obstruents (stops and fricatives) rather than sonorants.
This is an instance, then, of ' cross-category ' feature economy, applying to favour a new manner of articulation type, in this case voiced fricatives.
This saves him from assuming a prependix to the syllable that can be filled only with voiceless coronal fricatives.
To begin with, the palatal fricatives are argued to be dorsal rather than coronal.
An intermediate category groups /l/ together with non-coronal fricatives and nasals (12d-f).
