Diphthongs and vocalic groups in Southwestern Tepehuan
Abstract
The behavior of diphthongs has been subject of debate since this term is employed in a variety of ways. This article presents a review of the diverse uses that have been given to the term and suggests that phonetically equal entities may be phonologically analyzed in different ways. Furthermore, Southwestern Tepehuan is examined to determine the phonological structure of the diphthong /a͡u/. Compared to other vocalic groups, this diphthong behaves differently in the process of reduplication, which indicates phonologically different entities.Downloads
