One of the first things I noticed when I lived in Hawaii in the earlyseventies was the strong palatalisation of /(s)tr/ clusterse.g. street = [shchreet], tree = [chree]. I've recently observed asimilar phenomenon in some thirty-something speakers from the
northeast of the US, at least in the /str/ clusters. How widespread is this? My apologies if this matter has already been raised and I didn't notice. shelly shelly harrison centre for linguistics university of western australia nedlands, w.a. 6907 australia email: shelly@cyllene.uwa.edu.au fax: +61-8-9380-1154 phone: +61-8-9380-2859 web: http://www.general.uwa.edu.au/~shelly/ |
