Description

This article gives an insight into the interface between diachronic grammar and phonology, focusing on the sC clusters in syllable coda position. They may be uniformly assumed to consist of a complex segment, but the historical study of LME and ModE here shows that they behave differently with respect to phonological processes, depending on the place of articulation of the stop consonants. Based on observations of the clusters' relation to MEOSL and GVS, I thus claim that OT gives a principled account for their asymmetry and captures the predictability of diachronic change in a more explicit and natural way than earlier models.
