Inconsistency in two approaches to German affricates. Part 2: The Basic Inconsistency of German Affricates in Prinz & Wiese’s approach
Abstract:
Irresolvable inconsistencies can often be solved within a new theoretical framework. CV phonology raised the hope that it could be void of the shortcomings characterising earlier approaches to the basic inconsistency of German affricates. Although Prinz & Wiese’s (1991) approach is clearly better from several points of view than Wurzel’s eclectic framework, the basic inconsistency of German affricates did not become solvable within this framework, either. The reason for this is, above all, that the conflicting test results could not be separated from each other satisfactorily, in a well-founded manner.
