“…Romanian, however, is unique among Romance languages in also exhibiting word-final secondary palatalization (e.g., [lup j ] 'wolves'), and it is possible for a segment to undergo both full and secondary palatalization when certain morpho-phonological conditions are met, e.g., [fak] 'I do', [faÙ j ] 'you do'. Secondary palatalization (henceforth SP) has been extensively documented in Slavic (Fant 1970;Kochetov 2002), Celtic e.g., Irish (Bennett et al 2018;Ní Chiosáin 1994) and Scottish Gaelic (Kirkham and Nance 2022;Nance and Kirkham 2022;Sung et al 2015) and Finno-Ugric languages, e.g., Estonian (Malmi 2022) in a series of acoustic, perceptual, and articulatory studies. Among others, SP is also present in Mongolian, Carib, Zoque, and Isthmus Mixe (Bateman 2007;Bhat 1978).…”
