Morphological haplology in a constraint - based morpho - phonology
نویسندگان
چکیده
Several problems are still unresolved. The first problem concerns the universality of morphological haplology. Haplology, in one form or another, seems to occur in almost any language with enough morphology to create phonetically identical sequences. For example, in an impressive survey of cross-linguistic data, Dressler (1976) posits the strong universal constraint given in (3a), which is illustrated with two examples from German in (3b):

The interface between morphology and phonology: exploring a morpho-phonological deficit in spoken production.
Morphological and phonological processes are tightly interrelated in spoken production. During processing, morphological processes must combine the phonological content of individual morphemes to produce a phonological representation that is suitable for driving phonological processing. Further, morpheme assembly frequently causes changes in a word's phonological well-formedness that must be ad...
متن کاملIs grammar dependence real? A comparison between cophonological and indexed constraint approaches to morphologically conditioned phonology*
This article compares and contrasts cophonology theory and indexed constraint theory, the dominant current proposals to morphologically conditioned phonology. In cophonology theory, morphologically conditioned phonology is captured by associating each morphological construction or lexical class with its own phonological grammar, or cophonology. All constraints within a given cophonology are pur...
متن کاملImproved morpho-phonological sequence processing with constraint satisfaction inference
In performing morpho-phonological sequence processing tasks, such as letterphoneme conversion or morphological analysis, it is typically not enough to base the output sequence on local decisions that map local-context input windows to single output tokens. We present a global sequence-processing method that repairs inconsistent local decisions. The approach is based on local predictions of over...
متن کاملA selective morpho-phonological deficit?
We report on an English-speaking, aphasic individual (TB) who showed a striking dissociation in speaking with the different forms (allomorphs) that an inflection can take. Although very accurate in producing the consonantal inflections (-/s/, -/z/, -/d/, -/t/), TB consistently omitted syllabic inflections (-/əz/, -/əd/), therefore correctly saying "dogs" or "walked," but "bench" for benches or ...
متن کاملOptionality and Gradience in Persian Phonology: An Optimality Treatment
The distribution of the allophones of /?/in certain contexts involves free variation and gradient preferences. An organized survey was conducted to elicit the judgments of 37 native Persian speakers concerning the well-formedness of /?/allophonic behavior in five different phonological positions. The results showed that the differences in judgment between the various categories are not just t...
