Another look at Tunica vowels
(University of Calgary, 1978-05) Latimer, Richard
In several publications on Tunica, an extinct language once spoken in Louisiana, Mary Haas (1950, 1944) presents a vowel inventory which consists of seven phonemes. A close study of the morphophonemic alternations within the language suggests that there were only five underlying vowels and that the occurrence of [ɛ] and [ɔ] was predictable. In this paper, I will attempt to demonstrate that [ɛ] and [ɔ] are derived in two ways: (1) vowel coalescence and (2) assimilation. I will discuss the effects of each of these processes separately.

Calgary Working Papers in Linguistics, Volume 4, Spring 1978
(University of Calgary, 1978-05) De Guzman, Videa P.; Herbert, Robert K.
This issue is the fourth in the series of working papers published by LOGOS, the student linguistics club at The University of Calgary. The series provides a vehicle for publications by faculty members and students; these papers represent research in progress and are therefore not to be considered as final statements by the authors. The appearance of these articles in the current issue does not preclude their publication in altered form elsewhere.
