- Clusters vs. units in Otomanguean: the cases of Tlapanec (Mè’phàà) and Zapotec (Dixsa:) Hiroto Uchihara Lengua y Literatura Zapotec Tlapanec Complex segments Canonical Typology Since the pioneering work of Trubetzkoy (1939), there have been various proposals as to how to distinguish consonant clusters and units in individual languages. In this paper, I will look at the cases of Malinaltepec Tlapanec (Mè’phàà) and Teotitlán del Valle Zapotec (Dixsa:), two Otomanguean languages. I will look at general and language-particular criteria to distinguish clusters and units in these languages. I will show that in both cases the criteria do not always converge: some sequences are judged to be clusters by certain criteria but as units by others. Based on these observations, and drawing insights from Canonical Typology (Brown et al. 2012), I argue that the distinction between clusters and units is not dichotomous, but multidimensional: individual cases may simultaneously resemble clusters in some aspects but units in others, thus the typology of behaviors is richer than a simple binary opposition. 2021 artículo científico 2007-736X https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=525967204009 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5259/525967204009/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5259/525967204009/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5259/525967204009/525967204009.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5259/525967204009/movil 10.24201/clecm.v8i0.224 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=5259 Cuadernos de Lingüística de El Colegio de México application/pdf El Colegio de México, A.C.
