Levels of Affixation in the Acquisition of English Morphology
The theory of level-ordering proposes that word formation processes are assigned to one of three levels within the lexicon. Level 1 processes are applied before Level 2, which are applied before Level 3. Such ordering constraints predict differences in acceptability between pairs such as teeth marks versus *claws marks, and Darwinianism versus *Darwinismian. An acquisition model is examined in ...
متن کاملSyntactic Affixation and Performance Structures
Functional elements (determiners, complementizers, modals, degree words) are in many ways the syntactic analogues of affixes in morphology. Typically, functional elements are bound elements. Phonologically, they are clitics: syntactically, they are unable to appear without an associated thematic element (noun, verb, adjective). I would like to extend the analogy by showing that functional eleme...
متن کاملExploring Timing in Accents of British English
This paper reports an investigation of speech timing in spontaneous speech of four British English accents spoken in Cambridge, Glasgow, Leeds and Bradford. We tested the effect of lexical stress, word boundary and syllable weight on syllable durations and found systematic differences between Glasgow and Cambridge on all factors, with Glasgow being the most conservative about lengthening. Diffe...
متن کاملExploring Parallel Concordancing in English and Chinese
This paper investigates the value of computer technology as a medium for the delivery of parallel texts in English and Chinese for language learning. An English-Chinese parallel corpus was created for use in parallel concordancing -a technique which has been developed to respond to the desire to study language in its natural contexts of use. Specific problems of dealing with Chinese characters ...
متن کاملL-tone affixation: Evidence from German dialects
In a comparison of the tonal grammars of two German dialects, Swabian and Upper Saxon German, we observe a particular type of intonation contour that is similar in surface form, yet differs phonologically. Phonetically, the contour’s shape is risingfalling; phonologically, the Swabian contour reads as L*H +L 0%, and the one of Upper Saxon as L+ H*L 0%. Both contours are marked ones, and arise t...
