Abstract

Comanche initially appears to exhibit a slightly skewed but typical variety of consonant mutation for which one should expect an insightful floating feature analysis if claims for this approach are valid. I attempt such an account and contrast it with a feature changing approach, specifically the parameter framework recently advocated by Archangeli. I argue that the latter is superior.
