In this article, I follow up on earlier work on consonant voicing in
Japanese. The paper is in two parts. First, I examine rendaku and
post-nasal voicing, providing additional evidence that these are distinct
processes which require different voicing features. Second, I revisit
whether post-nasal voicing provides adequate evidence for the
stratification of the Japanese lexicon into Yamato and Sino strata,
arguing that, based on consonant voicing phenomena, the kinds of evidence
available in English for stratification of the lexicon are not present in
Japanese.
