| New data on dialects of Naxi (a Sino-Tibetan language) allow for some progress in the analysis of their phonemic system. The present analyses bear on three contrasts: (i) between oral rhymes /i/, /y/ and /v̩/ and nasal /i ̃/, /y ̃/ and /v̩ ̃/—a contrast which is present in a single dialect, and which partly subsists as a contrast of initial fricatives /h/ and /ç/ in another dialect; (ii) between retroflex and non-retroflex coronal initials; and (iii) between syllables with and without lip-rounding (/ʷ/) after a coronal initial. From a strictly synchronic point of view, these phenomena constitute extreme instances of neutralisation; from a diachronic point of view, their analysis provides some landmarks for reconstruction. |
