A Foot-Based Reanalysis of Edge-in Tonal Phenomena in Bambara
نویسندگان
چکیده
Zoll cites the case of Kukuya, with trisyllabic patterns of LLL, HHH, HLL, LLH and LHL. The absence of *HHL and LHH motivates the ranking of CLASH > LAPSE, as these patterns violate CLASH Hausa non-derived trisyllabic forms require the opposite ranking. The tone patterns are LHL, HLH, LHH and HHL, but there are no *LLH or *HLL patterns, which violate LAPSE. Nevertheless, edge-in forms as in (1c,d) are hard to reconcile with OTM as they violate CLASH and LAPSE equally:

An exploration of minimal and maximal metrical feet
ing away from the specific details that shape tone assignment in Irabu$there are several rules that may lower the initial or final constituent in aword depending on syllable structure and segmental make-up$, the mostrelevant fact about Irabu's phonology in connection to this thesis is theexistence of trimoraic feet.

متن کاملA comparative study of quantitative mapping methods for bias correction of ERA5 reanalysis precipitation data
This study evaluates the ability of different quantitative mapping (QM) methods as a bias correction technique for ERA5 reanalysis precipitation data. Climate type and geographical location can affect the performance of the bias correction method due to differences in precipitation characteristics. For this purpose, ERA5 reanalysis precipitation data for the years 1989-2019 for 10 selected syno...
متن کاملThe interplay between lexical and postlexical tonal phenomena and the prosodic structure in Masan/Changwon Korean
In some languages, such as Korean and Japanese, some theoretically interesting postlexical tonal phenomena have been observed. The phenomena include, for example, downstep and edge tones in Tokyo Japanese (e.g. Kawakami 1961b, Pierrehumbert and Beckman 1988) and downstep and upstep in Northern Gyeongsang Korean (Kenstowicz and Sohn 1997, Jun et al. 2006). Also, some phenomena have shown the int...
متن کاملJapanese loanword accentuation: epenthesis and foot form interacting through edge-interior alignment
Japanese words are either accented (HL tonal melody: H | a m L | e ‘rain’ ) or unaccented (H tonal melody: a m H | e ‘candy’). Whereas the locus of accent (i.e. mora that bears H tone before a L tone, represented henceforth by acute accent) is lexically determined in native and Sino-Japanese nouns (e.g. híru ‘leech’; hirú ‘noon’), in loanwords it is predictable enough to suggest a grammatical e...
متن کاملDeriving bounded tone with layered feet in Harmonic Serialism: the case of Saghala
This paper proposes an approach to bounded tone shift and spread in Bantu languages. Its core intuition is that the bounding domain is delimited by foot structure. The approach uses layered foot representations to capture ternary phenomena, following Martı́nez-Paricio and Kager (forthcoming). A set of licensing and structural constraints regulate tone-feet interactions. Harmonic Serialism is ado...
