Lee, Sechang. 2013. Voice Assimilation in English. Korean Journal of Linguistics, 38-3, 751-770. My purpose in writing this article is to bring to light certain insight into the natural directionality of voice assimilation in English. All available evidence seems to converge to show that different boundaries accompanied by affixes in different levels are responsible for determining the direction of voice assimilation. The idea is essentially due to Lexical Phonology in the sense of Kiparsky(1982, 1985). But I provide a deeper understanding of the nature of the phenomena. Linguistic systems strive toward a state of equilibrium. I assume that the presence of either primary or secondary affixes breaks a certain balanced state of the system and triggers the voice assimilation to reach the equilibrium again. Two different types of affixes trigger either regressive or progressive assimilation in voice. There are some apparent exceptions to this generalization. I claim that those apparent exceptions are attributed to the absence of the boundaries in question, which is intuitively convincing. The fundamental features of my analysis will be compared tableau by tableau with those of Kang(2002). (Sookmyung Women’s University)
