| Popis: | The current study aims at investigating the manifestations of lenition in Ilami dialect of Kurdish based on optimality theory. The study was conducted in a descriptive-analytical method and the data were collected through a survey while recording the daily speech of speakers living in Ilam and were finally analyzed according to the linguistic intuition of one of the writers as a native speaker of the dialect studied. The analysis of the data shows that the vocalization of [b, d, g] is applied respectively through the processes of consonant approximation, deletion of stem vowel, deletion of prefix vowel, and finally conversion of the consonant into a vowel. Moreover, it has been revealed that vocalization is applied only in morphophonemic environments and in phonemic ones only the first process, namely consonant approximation, is applied. The findings also show that in explaining those processes having phonemic alternations and applied in several passes, serial model is of more efficacy than the parallel one since the former depicts the intermediate levels and the morphophonemic developments of the words in a step-to-step manner. |
