Well, this is the GoogleBooks Ngram for various Star-compounds.

Hee, that I can live with

Isn't that why we have a symbol for juncture (#)? Or does that make you feel like you're proposing a phoneme of dubious status? I'm not that used to writing down sound changes, hence why I didn't think of #. On second thought, I suppose that notation would run afoul of the retention of /ʃ/ in infle...

I have [ʃtaːɐ̯] for 'starling; cataract; glaucoma', and usually [staːɐ̯] for 'celebrity', though it occasionally does shift over into the former; particularly <Stars und Sternchen> is liable to result in something like [ʃtaːɐ̯s ʊnt ˈʃtɛɐ̯nçɲ̩] .

Just noticed this: why "['sCV]"? That implies that it doesn't happen in the clusters /sCL/, which is clearly erroneous. As far as I can tell, the rule isn't the least bit sensitive to what follows the initial /sC/ cluster. As Guitarplayer says, it's a very regular change. Yeah, sorry, the V is supe...

It's actually very regular a change, at least if you look at Middle High German > New High German, AFAICT. A linguist agrees with you . So, to sum up: [s] – <s> Suhle, Sand, Saal [ʃ] – <sch> Schule, Schande, Schaal [ʃP] – <sP> Stuhl, Stand, Stahl Spule, spannt, Spalier [ʃP̄] – <schP̄> Schlinge, sch...

..."what more monkey zeolite" o_O ?

I think it comes down to predictability: orthographic <s> is always /ʃ/ initially before stops, regardless of the origins of the word. Spelling it <sch> here would simply be redundant. Well, it would be predictable if it weren't for recent loans. If that rule applies, it's only for the stops /p/ an...

I think he means the opposite, sometimes /S/ is spelled <sch> while not coming from /sx/(if that's where it comes from)? It does. The first source of Standard German [ʃ] is [sk] > [sx] > [ʃ] everywhere. The second source is [ˈsCV] > [ʃCV] (plus some, but not all [rs] > [rʃ]), in which case the spel...

What did I learn today?



Some things make drinking difficult!

Looking at the other Germanic languages, it seems to me that it's English that's the outlier by dropping the -t; Dutch -iteit fits with German -ität and Nordic -itet.

Voilà, crappy photo of crappy handwriting (yeah, no scanner).



So, as you can see, I don't have a lambda-one.
