There are two assignments:
One is English Phonology, and another is Constraint Based Phonology.
1. What is meant by lenition? Assess the various definitions that are offered in
the literature and explain why lenition cannot occur in all positions in a word
or phrase.
2. The fact that the favoured hiatus breaker in English is /r/ has been a perennial
source of interest to phonologists. Assess the various accounts available in the
literature and suggest which is the most convincing.
