Abstract
In this paper an attempt is made to refine the representation of Basque affricates, taking into account recent research that has shown that the Manner features in these segments are best analysed as two independent unary features [stop] and [cont] (Hualde 1988, Lombardi 1990). All processes bearing on the structure of affricates discussed in Hualde (1991) are reanalysed to argue for a model of the affricate in which only one of these two features, namely [cont], dominates the place of articulation features. Other representational issues discussed are the question whether affricates have one or two root nodes, and whether intermediate nodes like Place and Supralaryngeal are necessary within the affricate structure. The answers suggested will be one and no, respectively.
