This study reexamines affrication data, triggered by a more refined environment than palatalization in English, and provides a new account explaining coronal stop affrication. Unlike previous analyses, we argue that coronal stop affrication is not motivated by the sole palatal glide. The process is triggered by the collaboration of a palatal glide and a following high vowel. A collaboration of two segments maximizes the height of the affricates, which is slightly higher than that of alveopalatal fricatives. The difference in tongue height between affricates and fricatives comes from the position of the tongue. The tongue touches the roof of the mouth for affricates, whereas the active articulator approaches the roof of the mouth without contacting it in producing fricatives. To explain, we use specified constraint for affrication, *Cor+yhiV, which calls for the maximum height of tongue for the coronal stops. The affrication-triggering suffix -ual is prone to undergo reduction. However, the neutralization fails to occur in the suffix due to the high-ranked OCP-ə. The other suffix -ure undergoes neutralization after it simultaneously induces affrication with the palatal glide. Because affrication is a step-by-step process, we adopt the HS to properly account for the procedural nature of coronal stop affrication in English with relevant constraint ranking.
