Abstract
AbstractThis article presents a typological overview of affricates. The inventories of languages in the genetically balanced UPSID 1992 survey are examined with respect to different distributional characteristics of affricates, like place of articulation, voicing, and segmental attributes. Moreover, the relation between affricates, plosives, and fricatives is considered. Independently of any particular formal modelling, this study aims to provide a picture of the crosslinguistic patterns of affricates, a category presenting many a challenge to phonological analysis and theory.
