Devising Yorùbá Terminology for Phonology Terms (from letter S to letter Z)

In this final part of our report, which is part four (4) on the formulation Yorùbá phonology terms for their English counterparts, we discuss terms from letters S to Z of English phonology and give their Yorùbá equivalents. Eighty-five (84) terms, numbered from 279 to 363, are given in this last report. 278 had been reported in three previous parts which covered letters A to R, Numbers 1 to 104 covering letter A to G were reported in part one, part two has numbers 105 to 186 from letters H to O while letters P, Q and R are reported in part three from number 187 to number 278. In carrying out this research, we extracted phonology terms in English from three phonology textbooks and two specialized/technical dictionaries on linguistics and phonology. The Yorùbá equivalents of these terms were devised using the Information Processing Model (IPM) framework. Some of the terms developed are secondary articulation ìs̩énupè kejì, sibilant afòòsépè, Sonority Hierarchy Ìpele Ìdún, spirantization, ìso̩dàfúnnupè, stress language èdè alátè̩mó̩, subsidiary features àbùdá aṣègbè, Syncope ìpàró-fáwè̩lì-je̩, tense [+tense] Àfipápè/ afis̩anpè [+ipá], ternary feature àbùdá alójúmé̩ta, transparent rule òfin ahànde (à-hàn-sóde), unary feature àbùdá alójúkan, underspecification ìso̩dò̩tò̩-àyo̩ó̩lé̩ (à-yo̩-sílè̩), Valency iye-ìwúlò, weight-to-stress principle, Ìlànà ìwúwo-sí-àtè̩mó̩
