type:text

[ABSTRACT]Nasal sound change can appear under the same conditions as ranuki（ra-dropping）in colloquial Japanese. In such cases, however, a form with moraic nasal N is more acceptable than ranuki in most contexts, according to surveys conducted in this study. We will see that this is because contrast or a lack of contrast is preserved. The surveys also show that moraic nasal N has expanded its morpho-phonological function or meaning. In particular, we see the appearance of new suffixes such as ‘N-nai (Negative)’ and ‘N-nasai (Imperative)’, which neutralize the inflectional type of the verb preceding these new suffixes.
