Abstract
There has been a recent attempt to account for certain processes of stop deletion and stop insertion in Catalan by a new type of phonological rule ( reciprocal rules ). The data are here re-examined and extended. The implications of the proposed new rules for language specific morpheme structure conditions and for general ordering constraints are looked into. Problems arise and the nature of the rules is found at fault. The data are accounted for by keeping the two-level approach of standard generative phonology, a subset of them being approached from a phonetic angle which makes the new type of phonological rule unnecessary. The physiological processes underlying this subset of the data are revealed by the phonetic reinterpretation carried out here.
