Onset Transfer in Reduplication
نویسندگان
چکیده
A frequently noted property of reduplication is that the reduplicant is generally a contiguous substring of the base (e.g. Marantz 1982; McCarthy and Prince 1986, 1995; Lamontagne 1996). For example, Lamontagne (1996) identifies [[ABC]R[ABCDE...]B] as a 'typical reduplication pattern', and [[ACD]R[ABCDE...]B] as 'atypical'. In optimality theory, this property is enforced by the "no skipping" clause of the correspondence constraint CONTIGUITY (Kenstowicz 1994; McCarthy and Prince 1995), which prohibits base-reduplicant mappings of the type ABC → AC.

J's rhymes: a longitudinal case study of language play.
A longitudinal study of one child aged 2;5 documents an invented language game consisting of suffixal reduplication and onset replacement. Initially, reduplication is partial: the reduplicant enlarges in discrete increments over the five stages of the game until by the last stage reduplication is total. Reduplication is accompanied by a process of onset replacement, in which the reduplicant alw...
متن کامل-Quantitative Transfer in Reduplicative and Templatic Morphology
Segmental quantity-the distinction between long and short vowels or geminate and simplex consonants-is preserved under specifiable conditions in reduplication.’ Current nonlinear phonology holds, for a number of compelling reasons, that segmental quantity is represented confrgurationally, in the mapping of phonemic melodies to prosodic templates. The theory also holds that reduplication is acco...
متن کاملMinimizing RED: Nasal Copy in Mbe
In this paper, I argue that a nasal agreement phenomenon in Mbe (BenueCongo, Nigeria; Bamgbose 1971) is a case of reduplication in which material is copied as a nasal coda to a CV prefix with place features linked to the following onset; if place-linking fails, no copy occurs. I demonstrate that this account has important analytical implications for Mbe and more generally, for the theory of red...
متن کاملReduplication in Persian Language and Literature
The Reduplications are made by repeating part of the base. The repeated part does not make sense and will never be used alone and is just popular in spoken language. In recent times, they have been used in some texts of poetry and prose, in particular, in stories written in vernacular. This research, with a historical approach, and with an analytical-explanatory method, examines the information...
متن کاملThe dual theory of reduplication*
This article argues that the fundamental typological distinction pertaining to reduplication is that between phonological duplication and morphological doubling (the Dual Theory of reduplication). Phonological duplication, which occurs for a phonological purpose such as providing an onset or nucleus for a syllable or filling in the featural content of an otherwise unspecified timing unit in the...
