- 摘要：This paper focuses on palatalization avoidance in Russian loanwords. In native words, consonants are palatalized (or ‘softened’) when they precede /e/, but they can remain non-palatalized in the same context in loanwords. The survey indicated that palatalization is more likely to be avoided (i) in stressed syllables, (ii) when consonants are coronal, and (iii) when consonants are obstruent. It is argued that the difference in the likelihood of palatalization avoidance results from several phonological factors.
