Then it was time for some good vibrations, from whistling string harmonies to extreme sonorities.
In contrast, the fixed ranking theory can only produce sonority-driven stress systems with a single set of conflated categories.
The sonorant of the cluster is devoiced, which yields a sonority profile sufficient to avoid violation of this constraint.
As a consequence, the temporal dimension acquires a homogeneous and unified presence supported by the continuous blending of the metallic sonorities.
Again, my initial hypothesis that the assimilation phenomenon could be driven by sonority was not confirmed.
Such a ' binary ' approach could in principle be extended to vowel sonority.
