How Did Long Terawan Berawan Develop Sixteen Vowel Phonemes?

How Did Long Terawan Berawan Develop Sixteen Vowel Phonemes? Abstract: The Long Terawan Berawan system of vowel phonemes consists of one monophthong in the antepenult, schwa, and four monophthongs in the penult, i, ə, a , and u . However, the final syllable exhibits ten monophthongs ( i, ĭ, e, ĕ, a, ă, u, ŭ, o, ŏ) and six diphthongs ( əi, ǝu, ăi, ai, ău, au ). The paper describes how the Long Terawan vowel phoneme system emerged from a Proto-Western Malayo-Polynesian system of four monophthongs (*i, *ə, *a, *u). http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Oceanic Linguistics University of Hawai'I Press
