Oh sorry, we already talked about this and I forgot. Could we instead make the variable rule of diaeresis do this? I guess I'm surprised it doesn't already.

jillianchang commented 3 years ago

If I remember correctly, I think you suggested to correct Pharr on this (since he writes "Troia" elsewhere when there is also no geminate)?

If we make diaeresis do this, then the examples where Pharr initially writes "Troia" instead of "Troja" won't be analyzed as diaeresis. The way around that would be to include intervocalic "I"s in the TAU of our geminate pronunciation rule, so that both "Troja" and "Troia" will be rewritten as "Trojja," and then we let the variable rule determine where to apply diaeresis, which will rewrite it to "Troia."

What do you think?

kylebgorman commented 3 years ago

So for consistency, we should write this as Troja I think, because it's intervocalic and would be glided and geminated if not for diaeresis. Then diaeresis can be permitted to map jj onto i with it some cost.
