Last September on ADS-L, Wilson Gray wrote:
''Some time in the early to middle 'Nineties, a brief analysis of English consonant clusters, IIRC, was published in Linguistic Inquiry. The author noted that her analysis had one major flaw: it predicted that ''Arctic'' [arktIk] would be pronounced as though spelled ''Artic'' [artIk].'' [AMZ: which of course it is, very frequently; that was the topic of the ADS-L thread] I've been trying to track down this article, without success so far. Wilson's recollection might be inaccurate as to time period, the journal, or the sex of the author. Note: I am NOT asking for discussion of the [artIk] pronunciation itself, just for information about this reference. |
