摘要：Recent work in phonology has challenged the long-held assumption that redundant features do not playa role in phonology. In this paper I examine two cases in which it has been argued that redundant features must be phonologically active, Rendaku in Japanese and Labial Attraction in Turkish. In both cases, the generalization in question is based on evidence from only a certain part of the lexicon and numerous surface counterexamples to the generalization exist. I raise the issue of whether this type of stratification is reasonable or if the features under consideration must be discounted as redundant because of the existence of surface exceptions.
