This paper aims to provide a descriptive and theoretical account of a Southern Sardinian metathesis in terms of lateral relations. Assuming the tenets of the CVCV model (Lowenstamm 1996; Scheer 2004), also known as Strict CV, it has been argued that the structural conditions required for the application of metathesis are related to the positional effects of government and licensing on liquids. The basic claim here is that the metathesis under investigation is the effect of the structural conditions experienced by liquids in weak position: metathesis does not apply to liquids in strong position, while weak positions make metathesis possible.
