Borer H. Structuring Sense. Volume 2: The Normal Course of Events

Oxford University Press Inc., New York, 2005. — 417 p. — ISBN: 0199263914The Hebrew transcription used in this work represents a compromise between the pronunciation of Modern Hebrew and an attempt to render the examples, at least up to a point, morpho-phonologically transparent. Specifically, in Modern Hebrew pronunciation, spirantized k is pronounced as /x/, otherwise occurring in the language, spirantized b is pronounced as /v/ otherwise occurring in the language, and the pronunciation /k/ is associated with two distinct segments, one which spirantizes, and one which does not. Further, although contemporary phonological processes still distinguish between the historical glottal stop (') and the historical pharyngeal fricative ( c ), both are pronounced as glottal stops in Modern Hebrew.
