Bert Vaux

Vaux's Law (as labelled by Avery & Idsardi 2001, Iverson & Salmons 2003), which he first formulated in a 1998 article in Linguistic Inquiry, states that laryngeally unspecified—i.e. voiceless--fricatives become GW/sg in systems contrasting fricatives without reference to GW/sg; thus they are to be aspirated or, more technically, to be pronounced with a spread glottis.

Phonology

In addition to the minimal units that can serve the purpose of differentiating meaning (the phonemes), phonology studies how sounds alternate, i.e. replace one another in different forms of the same morpheme (allomorphs), as well as, for example, syllable structure, stress, feature geometry, accent, and intonation.

Proto-Dené–Caucasian language
