An Analysis of Lushootseed Diminutive Reduplication

an infinite planar array of rectangular microstrip patch antenna analysis

the methods which are used to analyze microstrip antennas, are divited into three categories: empirical methods, semi-empirical methods and full-wave analysis. empirical and semi-empirical methods are generally based on some fundamental simplifying assumptions about quality of surface current distribution and substrate thickness. thses simplificatioms cause low accuracy in field evaluation. ful...

Circumscription Revisited An Analysis of Maori Reduplication

It is argued that the process of circumscription must be reintroduced to current theories of prosodic morphology, specifically to Correspondence Theory. This notion has broader effects than the serial circumscriptive process, affecting concepts of categorisation within the grammar, as shown by discussion of the notion ‘base of reduplication’. The reduplicative processes of the Maori language ar...

Thematicity in Lushootseed syntax

The surface form of sentences in Lushootseed is governed primarily by considerations of Communicative Structure, in particular Thematicity. This paper will argue that Thematicity, rather than part of speech, governs the selection of the syntactic predicate in Lushootseed, and will offer some preliminary formal treatments of the phenomenon in terms of ranked constraints governing the transition ...

What is Reduplication? Typology and Analysis Part 1/2: The Typology of Reduplication

Reduplication has played a central role in the development of phonological theories for 30years. The introduction of Classical Optimality Theory (OT) in the 1990s sparked intensive research into the typology and analysis of reduplicative patterns, as reduplication was a key testing area both for OT and for theories critical of OT. Now, after some 20years of research within the OT model, it is a...
