Natural class reasoning in segment deletion rules

I posted our handout from our NELS talk yesterday here. We illustrate two points: a corrolary of Logical Phonology (LP) called delete the rich, pertaining to segment deletion rules, and how LP handles apparent cases of non-derived environment blocking. In doing so, we give a relatively detailed phonology of Hungarian h and also address the famous case of Turkish velar deletion.

I’ll post the MS for the proceedings to LingBuzz once it’s ready.
