| 释义 | metathesis noun[ C or U ] language, phonetics specializeduk /məˈtæθ.ə.sɪs/ us /məˈtæθ.ə.sɪs/pluralmetathesesuk /metˈæθ.ə.siːz/ the act of changing the positions of consonants(= speech sounds or letters of the alphabet that are not vowels) in words, or an example of this: Metathesis typically occurs when a relatively rare sound combination can be swapped for a much more familiar one. Each of these metatheses caused a chuckle of delight. When lecturing, he was prone to metathesis. "Tilde" is thought to be a metathesis in Spanish of "tidlo". I would expect this particular metathesis to fall out of vogue now that the computer era has made "disk" a household word.

The process of gemination, exemplified by the data in (20), has much in common with the metathesis discussed in the previous section. Deletion and coalescence occur in wordinitial onsets while metathesis and gemination are restricted to wordmedial position. Wherever metathesis fails to reduce the markedness of the cluster, the higher-ranked constraints against gemination must be violated. Thus, there are two different reduction strategies attested in word-medial clusters : metathesis that affects target stop-sonorant clusters and gemination that is restricted to fricative-sonorant clusters. Phonological changes such as metathesis and compensatory lengthening affect some of the words in this and subsequent tableaux. First, why does metathesis occur in word-medial stop-sonorant clusters? Metathesis, the repositioning of segments within a word, has been neglected in analyses of interlanguage syllable structure. However, if their dialect does not have metathesis in this context, it can easily be ruled out. For example, geminates and clusters trigger metathesis and block processes such as vowel deletion and secondary articulation formation, while singleton consonants do not. More generally, the main result of the basic factorial typology is maintained even now that metathesis candidates are included in the candidate set. The analysis then incorrectly predicts variable metathesis for these inputs. Nonetheless, such a metathesis can be difficult for scholars in related fields, as well as foreign historians, to understand. Here we show that dactylics, trochaics, extrametricality, catalexis, and quantity metathesis violate basic principles of phonology. These examples are from corpora and from sources on the web. Any opinions in the examples do not represent the opinion of the Cambridge Dictionary editors or of Cambridge University Press or its licensors. |
