Quick takeaways

  • Reorganizing phonological processes based on natural classes improves understanding and flow of the grammar.
  • Condensing the presentation of prepositions to focus on inflectional paradigms and basic syntax streamlines the grammar and facilitates the creation of a syntax section.

Reorganizing Consonant Phonological Processes in Estatici Reference Grammar

During the revision of the phonology chapter of the Estatici reference grammar, the author noticed that the organization of the phonological processes was not working effectively. The original organization grouped the processes by type (assimilation, deletion, and other), which made it difficult for readers to see the natural connections between the rules. To address this issue, the author reorganized the phonological processes based on natural classes. For example, stops and nasals were grouped together, and liquids had their own section. This new organization allowed for easier understanding of how the rules interacted and improved the flow of the grammar.
