Jacobs, Haike 2023 A sightseeing diminutive tour in Limburgian: N-assimilation and diminutive formation from Vaals to Panningen Linguistics in the Netherlands 2023, Leufkens, Sterre and Marco Bril (eds.), pp. 105–119 | Article

This paper provides an overview, based on the MAND database and on additional recordings for Limburgian Panningen, of diminutive formation in Limburgian and focuses on the status of n-assimilation. It is shown that both the presence and the absence of n-assimilaton poses problems both for… read more

Jacobs, Haike 2022 Moras are about length not about weight: Cayuga laryngeal metathesis, Chugach Alutiiq degemination and Wolof stress Linguistics in the Netherlands 2022, Vogels, Jorrig and Sterre Leufkens (eds.), pp. 103–121 | Article

Expressing syllable weight by moras leads to two problems. First, there are languages, such as Wolof, with long vowels and geminates, which both make a syllable bimoraic, but where only long vowels, but not geminates, count as heavy for stress. Second, there are languages in which closed… read more

Berns, Janine, Haike Jacobs and Dominique Nouveau 2018 Introduction Romance Languages and Linguistic Theory 13: Selected papers from ‘Going Romance’ 29, Nijmegen, Berns, Janine, Haike Jacobs and Dominique Nouveau (eds.), pp. 1–4 | Introduction

Jacobs, Haike 2016 French loanwords in Korean: Modeling lexical knowledge in OT Romance Linguistics 2013: Selected papers from the 43rd Linguistic Symposium on Romance Languages (LSRL), New York, 17-19 April, 2013, Tortora, Christina, Marcel den Dikken, Ignacio L. Montoya and Teresa O'Neill (eds.), pp. 177–194 | Article

This paper discusses the Korean adaptation of French word-final coronal plosives. They are adapted, just as the English ones, with or without vowel insertion. In the latter case they are treated as ending in underlying /s/. Replacement of word-final coronal plosives by underlying /s/ is also active… read more

Jacobs, Haike 2015 Harmonic serialism and syncope and stress shift in Latin Romance Linguistics 2012: Selected papers from the 42nd Linguistic Symposium on Romance Languages (LSRL), Cedar City, Utah, 20-22 April 2012, Smith, Jason and Tabea Ihsane (eds.), pp. 119–132 | Article

This paper discusses two Latin stress shift cases that are problematic for a metrically-conditioned syncope analysis using Harmonic Serialism. The first case receives a straightforward account by replacing the constraints Max-Pr (no stress removal) and Dep-Pr (no stress assignment) by the… read more

Berns, Janine and Haike Jacobs 2012 A first glance at the role of length in production and perception of diphthongs before Dutch coda l Linguistics in the Netherlands 2012, Elenbaas, Marion and Suzanne Aalberse (eds.), pp. 15–26 | Article

Botma, Sebregts & Smakman (2008, 2010, 2012) have shown that in Dutch there is variation in the neutralization of tense and lax vowels before coda l. In this study, we will extend the scope of their investigation by examining the effect of coda l on preceding diphthongs. A pilot production… read more

Jacobs, Haike and Robbie van Gerwen 2009 Romance lenition: Towards a formal account of a contrast maintaining phonetically motivated sound change Romance Languages and Linguistic Theory 2006: Selected papers from ‘Going Romance’, Amsterdam, 7–9 December 2006, Torck, Danièle and W. Leo Wetzels (eds.), pp. 111–126 | Article

This paper proposes an OT account of diachronic and synchronic Romance lenition based on the theory of Comparative Markedness. The analysis, contrary to previous analyses, allows for a straightforward description of synchronic allophonic lenition processes where voicing and spirantization take… read more

Jacobs, Haike 2006 Proto-Romance Stress Shift Revisited New Perspectives on Romance Linguistics: Vol. II: Phonetics, Phonology and Dialectology, Montreuil, Jean-Pierre Y. (ed.), pp. 141–154 | Article

This paper argues that the notoriously problematic Late Latin stress shift in words with a light penultimate syllable before consonant-liquid clusters cannot be adequately explained by double prosody (an additional mora, projected to the syllable, but not realized by the vowel) which allows a light… read more
