Dissimilation by surface correspondence in Aghem velarized diphthongs

Author

Abstract

Aghem exhibits a static co-occurrence restriction involving an intrusive velar segment present in two of the language's falling diphthongs. I provide a brief descriptive overview of these unusual phonetic structures and an Agreement by Correspondence (ABC) analysis of the phenomenon as dissimilation with the intent of avoiding suboptimal correspondence.

Keywords: Aghem, Contour segments, Agreement by Correspondence
