The tonal phonology of Yoruba clitics
This paper examines the tonal behavior of six types of enclitics in Standard Yoruba, and shows that in all six cases, a constraint applies preventing the last syllable of the host and the adjacent clitic syllable from having the same (High or Low) tone. There are no other host+clitic cases in Yoruba for which such a constraint would be relevant. Potential violations of the constraint are avoide...
متن کاملPhrasal or Lexical Constructions?
Since the 1990s, more and more linguistic articles have been published in the framework of Construction Grammar. Although Kay and Fillmore (1999, p. 19) make it clear that Constructions are not necessarily phrasal, most of the authors suggest phrasal Constructions. This is especially apparent in Construction Grammar-inspired studies in the HPSG framework. In what follows, I show that the differ...
متن کاملExplaining Branchingness Effects in Phrasal Phonology
A wide variety of languages have been shown to have phonological rules whose domains of application are larger than words but smaller than intonational phrases or utterances. Within the theory of prosodic phonology, such rules correspond to the level of the Phonological Phrase, and for convenience I will use the cover term phrasal rules for them. However, the goal of this paper is to show that ...
متن کاملLexical Phonology and the Lexicon
It would be a time-consuming but straightforward task to compile a complete list of exceptions, at least for the rules of word-level phonology. Given the purposes of this study such an effort would be beside the point unless it were to lead to the formulation of new and deeper rules that explained the exceptions or to a different theory that accounted both for the regularities that our rules ex...
متن کاملAn Overview of Lexical Phonology
This article reviews Lexical Phonology, a theory of rules and derivations. Rules are of three types: cyclic rules, postcyclic rules, and postlexical rules. Various diagnostic properties of rules are discussed, including the phonological cycle, word vs. phrase domain application, the Strict Cyclicity Constraint, derived environments, the Structure Preservation Constraint, lexical conditioning, a...
