| Summary: | petur(gling.su.se Data from Aland on the phonetic realisations of stop contrasts show that similar historical developments have occurred in the geographically distinct regions of Aland and Icelcaid. These developments can be seen as convergent, since they seem to arise independently in the two regions. The Aland data also provide examples of stops that are preaspirated and postaspirated at the same time, which is highly unusual from a typological perspective. 1 |
