Message 1: Stop nasalization

Subject: Stop nasalization

Dear linguists,

May I get some information about stop nasalization?

Korean has a phonological process of 'stop nasalization' which
nasalizes a stop before a nasal. Latin also shows a similar process,
as in /agnus/ 'lamb', presumably [aNnus]. According to Dell (in a
1981 article in Linguistic Inquiry), stop nasalization also occurs in
French sloppy speech. I am looking for more information about this
process in French, and for examples of stop nasalization in any other
languages. Can anyone help me with this?

Thank you very much in advance.

Sincerely,

In Kyu Park

Can someone tell me which was the first American university to offer a
PhD in linguistics, and when?
