Speculations on [X]-Elision and intersonorantic [ʋ] in Afrikaans
Abstract
The present paper addresses in the first place the diachrony of [X]-elision in Afrikaans, as evidenced in such pairs as oog (00[x]) 'eye' - oë 'eyes'. However, it will be suggested that this phenomenon may be related to the substitution of Afrikaans [ʋ] (written < w >) for Dutch [v] (written <v>).Downloads
