This study investigates whether excrescence is phonological epenthesis or articulatory overlap by investigating whether a prosodic domain boundary intervening between the nasal and the fricative affects insertion. Articulatory overlap effects are expected to remain constant across the board, whereas phonological epenthesis is expected to be targete...

That is, they may be like excrescent stops in nasal-fricative sequences such as prin[t]ce or Chom[p]sky in English, which seem to be articulatory effects generated phonetically rather than phonologically (Ohala and Ohala, 1993;Feldscher and Durvasula, 2017).
