 note = {論文, ARTICLE, This paper examines the developments of the consonant clusters involving a stop or stops in Aśokan Rock Edicts. The original stop-final clusters with a stop preceded by another stop, l or a sibilant are affected by anticipatory assimilation (or loss of the first consonant) in all the six dialects examined in this paper with some residues of the sibilant-stop clusters found in the western dialects. The original stop-initial clusters with a stop followed by a sibilant or a nasal are affected either by perseverative assimilation (or loss of the sibilant or nasal), anticipatory assimilation (or loss of the stop), or vowel epenthesis, in addition to denasalization in the case of stop-nasal clusters, showing dialectal and phonological variations. Of the stop-sibilant and stopnasal clusters, ks. and jñ, which have undergone place assimilation in Old Indo-Aryan, show relatively uniform development in parallel with stop-final clusters. Other stop-initial clusters are variegated in their development. The tendencies observed in the assimilated outcomes are attributed to the dominance of the second consonant of the cluster and to the dominance of the stop articulation, at least the former of which is cross-linguistically observed in assimilation.},
