Stang's law

固有名詞

(phonology) A Proto-Indo-European phonological rule that governs the word-final sequences of a vowel, followed firstly by a semivowel or a laryngeal and then by a nasal. Such sequences are simplified so that laryngeals and semivowels are dropped, with compensatory lengthening of a preceding vowel.

日本語の意味

(音韻論) 原始印欧語における音韻法則で、語末の母音の後にまず半母音または喉音、その後に鼻音が続く系列に適用される。この系列では、半母音や喉音が除去され、その代償として直前の母音が長音化する。

Stang's law explains why many Proto-Indo-European word-final sequences consisting of a vowel followed by a semivowel or a laryngeal and then a nasal ended with compensatory vowel lengthening.

語末で母音の後に半母音または喉頭音が続きさらに鼻音が続く配列を簡略化し、半母音や喉頭音を脱落させて前の母音を補償的に長くするという原始インド・ヨーロッパ語の音韻規則は、なぜ多くの語形で母音の長化が見られるのかを説明する。
