Chung, Chin-wan. “Articulation of Homorganic Nasal+Consonant Clusters in English: Constraints and Quantitative Evidence.” Studies on English Language & Literature. 35.4(2009): 243-269. This study focuses on the realizations of the coronal homorganic nasal plus a voiceless stop over a syllable boundary in English. We argue in this study that the deletion of the [t] in the input /nt/ sequences is due to the specified constraint of *NC̥-Cor. If it dominates the faithfulness constraint Faith-Seg(σ), only the [n] is realized in the output. With the reversed ranking, we can account for the faithful pronunciation of the [nt]. This theoretical analysis is supported by quantitative evidence in which the native speakers of North American English*This work was supported by Korea Research Foundation under Grant No. KRF-2008-327-A00289. I am thankful for anonymous reviewers for their insightful comments. My special thank goes to Gukin Cho for her help in conducing an experiment. Any remaining errors are my own responsibility. We use North American English data because other dialects of English do not show variant realizations of the input /nt/ in the output. pronounce both [nt] and [n] in their reading a list of words containing the input /nt/. We provide supporting quantitative evidence even if we used a fairly formal register of the language by providing the subjects with the word list. The results of the quantitative study show that the pronunciation of the /nt/ over a syllable boundary reflects the difference in the familiarity of words, depending on gender, age, and teaching experience.
