  • Summary

    Chapter 2 introduces the peculiar features that can be reconstructed for the vocal domain in Proto-Central Chadic, being made up of both vowels (*/a/, *ə) and the conditioned allophones [i] and [u] of the approximants */y/ and */w/. It then presents the reconstructed segments in terms of vowels, approximants, and consonants. It discusses the problematic phonetic nature of ‘schwa’ and its varying transcriptions. Root-and-pattern structure is then introduced, followed by a description of the diachronic process of root augmentation through petrified/fused morphological markers. Lastly, types and diachronic sources of ‘prosodies’ are described as ‘floating’ dis- and reassociated coarticulation features of segments.
