Descriptions spanning 150 years suggest that the process has changed in several ways. Its output has evolved from what was probably a nasalized flap to a nasal stop. Flap-nasalization previously counterfed progressive vowel nasalization but now feeds it. Also, the morphological domain of flap-nasalization may be narrowing. We present the first acoustic phonetic study of the process, showing that in Kenneth Miner’s 1974–5 fieldwork recordings, the output of flap-nasalization ranges from flap-like to stop-like durations.Read More
