Description

Source-similarity effects in loanword adaptation are formalized in Correspondence Theory (McCarthy and Prince, 1995). A correspondence relation holds between the loanword and the pLs representation, the borrower’s posited representation of the source-language form; including the pLs representation in the model allows a consistent account of the interaction between phonological adaptation processes and factors such as perception and orthography. Empirical support is provided for the Correspondence Theory approach, which predicts multiple phonological adaptation strategies for loanwords.
