Abstract
This chapter discusses the coronal articulator. While there is ample evidence in some languages that each of the subplace articulator nodes functions as a real phonological entity, such evidence is not only lacking in other languages but also the postulation of the articulator nodes makes incorrect predictions in defining certain natural classes of segments. One of the most crucial differences between the theory with the coronal articulator and the theory without it concerns the use of the feature [coronal]. The Universalist position, however, does not seem warranted when considering the organization of the Place node for two languages—Sanskrit and Korean. When confronted with two cases that seem to argue for two different structures, a universal structure internal to the Place node cannot be easily determined.
