This study delves into various realizations of a homorganic nasal plus an obstruent stop sequence where a coronal /nt/ shows an opaque and a transparent realization word-finally and word-medially. The different realizations of the coronal /nt/ sequence in different positions inside the word stem from the interactions among the following cases: nasalization of a vowel before a nasal consonant, deletion of a nasal between a nasalized vowel and a voiceless consonant, and deletion of a post-nasal /t/ word-medially in English. It is claimed in this study that such asymmetrical realizations of the /nt/ realizations word-medially and word-finally are attributed to prohibition against a shortened nasal between a nasalized vowel and a voiceless consonant; it is also affected by the deletion of the [t] in the heterosyllabic [n.t] in order to avoid the undesirable sequence. However, other cases of homorganic nasal plus an obstruent stop sequences show symmetrical realizations in different word positions. Thus, all the other NC̥ sequences show an opaque realization due to the high-ranking *v˜NC̥ and other constraints while the other NC̭ clusters show a transparent realization because of high-ranking *NC̭Peri]ttσ and Max-NC̭Cor with other constraints word-medially and word-finally. All these complex-looking NC realizations are accounted for by the procedural theoretical framework called Harmonic Serialism. (Chonbuk National University)
