Faithfulness and Prosodic Circumscription

Faithfulness Conflict in Korean Blends

This study addresses the question of what basic principles and constraints govern blending while focusing on the description and analysis of phonological properties of Korean blends. Korean blending shows a systematic phonological word-formation process that usually preserves the prosodic structure of the head source word, while the initial part of the segmental sequence of the blend is from th...

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...

On the Intertranslatability of Autoepistemic, Default and Priority Logics, and Parallel Circumscription

This paper concentrates on comparing the relative expressive power of ve non-monotonic logics that have appeared in the literature. The results on the computational complexity of these logics suggest that these logics have very similar expressive power that exceeds that of classical monotonic logic. A reened classiication of non-monotonic logics by their expressive power can be obtained using t...
