Phonetic Faithfulness in Phonological Opacity by Kim, Yeong-Joon

“…The results of typological surveys encompassing 87 counterfeeding and 65 counterbleeding interactions across languages support this prediction, revealing that opacified processes are subject to a narrow range of markedness conditions, such as coarticulatory assimilation (e.g., palatalization) and durational adjustments (e.g., segmental weakening). Other types of phonological processes, particularly non-natural ones, are only rarely, if ever, opacified. …”
