On the Phonological Processes of Compounding in C'Lela
This article examines the phonological processes taking place within compounds in C’lela. The study establishes that Compounding in C’lela usually triggers certain phonological processes, which include metathesis, final-vowel deletion, final-vowel lowering, and nasal-sound insertion. In addition, it is proposed in the analysis that these phonological activities that occur in C’lela compounds are set off when a morphological condition and/or a phonotactic rule of the language are met. In other words, these processes are morphophonologically motivated.
Cet article examine les processus phonologiques qui se produisent au sein des mots composés en C’lela. L’étude établit que le phénomène de ces mots composés déclenche certains processus phonologiques, dont la métathèse, l’élision de la voyelle finale, l’abaissement de la voyelle finale et l’insertion du son nasal. En plus, l’analyse propose que ces activités phonologiques qui se déroulent dans ces mots composés ont lieu quand les conditions morphologiques et/ou les règles phonotactiques de la langue sont acquises. Cela veut dire que ces processus sont morpho- phonologiquement motivés.
