A-templatic Reduplication

چکیده
In this squib I discuss an unusual type of reduplication in which the reduplicant varies not only in terms of its phonemic composition but also in terms of its prosodic shape. The variability in the shape of the reduplicant results from a grammar that does not impose any constraint particular to the shape of the reduplicant per se. Further, I demonstrate that even in cases where the reduplicant is shape invariant, this shape may also arise from a grammar that does not impose a constraint on the form of the reduplicant. In both cases all relevant aspects of the reduplicant’s realization arise from constraints that apply to the language in general.

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 کاملWhat 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...

متن کامل1 L Aryngeals in G Uarijío ( U to - a Ztecan ) : S Ynchrony
This paper examines the synchronic status of laryngeal consonants (glottal stop and h) in Guarijío, a Uto-Aztecan language of Chihuahua and Sonora, Mexico. I focus on their word-internal distribution in roots and affixes and their behavior under reduplication, showing that both have a very limited distribution and arguing that a different analysis is appropriate for each. I argue that h is a co...
