A Fake Diphthong in English

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

"English is generally agreed to have true diphthongs: vowel-glide sequences contained within the same syllable nucleus. There is evidence that it also has at least one fake diphthong, in which the glide falls outside the nucleus: the /ow/ that occurs post-tonically in words such as yellow, tomorrow, potato. At stake here is the wider question of whether we can maintain the otherwise robust generalisation that stress in English is quantity-sensitive, one symptom of which is that diphthongs render a syllable heavy and thus attract stress. Post-tonic /ow/ appears to breach this pattern. If it were a heavy diphthong, quantity- sensitivity would require it to bear subsidiary stress (e.g. *yéllów). However, evidence to be reviewed here clearly points to /ow/ being unstressed in this position. The apparent contradiction is resolved if we treat unstressed /ow/ as a fake diphthong, consisting of a short nucleus followed by a non-nuclear position (i.e. VC). Metrically, this makes yellow just like rabbit: in both cases, the final consonant is extra-metrical, meaning that the preceding syllable is light and unstressed, in accord with quantity-sensitivity."
