A comparison with other Western Nilotic languages shows that (i) this vowel system goes back to a ten-vowel system in Proto-Western Nilotic (PWN), (ii) PWN high [−ATR] vowels have become high [+ATR] vowels in Jumjum, and (iii) conversely, PWN high [+ATR] vowels have become high [−ATR] vowels in Jumjum. The sequence of changes that resulted in this [ATR] reversal in Jumjum relative to PWN provides a historical explanation of synchronically odd, grammatically conditioned vowel-quality alternations in this language.}, bestfn = {africa\andersen_jumjum2006v2.pdf}, besttxt = {ptxt\africa\andersen_jumjum2006.txt}, cfn = {africa\andersen_jumjum2006.pdf}, delivered = {africa\andersen_jumjum2006.pdf}, doi = {10.1075/dia.23.1.03and}, fn = {africa\andersen_jumjum2006v2.pdf, africa\andersen_jumjum2006.pdf, africa\andersen_jumjum2006_o.pdf}, hhtype = {comparative;minimal}, inlg = {English [eng]}, issn = {0176-4225}, keywords = {Jumjum, Mayak, Mabaan, sound change, ATR, vowel system, vowel harmony, vowel alternation, Western Nilotic, Burun}, lgcode = {Jumjum [jum]}, macro_area = {Africa}, src = {benjamins, hh} }
