Extended exponence by enrichment: Argument encoding in German, Archi, and Timucua
This paper is concerned with a principled approach to cases of extended (or multiple) exponence, as postulated in Matthews (1972, 82) for Greek verb inflection (perfect forms in particular), and in Matthews (1974, 149) for English verb inflection (among other phenomena). Extended exponence characterizes those cases of morphological realization where a single morpho-syntactic property seems to b...
متن کاملEnglish Nasal-Final Prefixes and Uniform Exponence
The purpose of this paper is to reconsider the phonology of English nasal-final prefixes within the framework of Optimality Theory, especially making use of a relation of correspondence. In this paper, I show that compared with previous analyses employing rules and their extrinsic orderings, a constraint-based approach can give a better account of the phenomenon. In order to do this, following ...
متن کاملDerived Environment Effects and Consistency of Exponence
In this article, I defend the assumption that the generator function Gen of Optimality Theory should be restricted by a principle called Consistency of Exponence and I show how this assumption helps us understand so-called Derived Environment Effects.1 Consistency of Exponence was introduced almost in some of the earliest work on Optimality Theory (McCarthy & Prince, 1993, 1994) as a reasonable...
متن کاملRelational-Realizational Parsing
State-of-the-art statistical parsing models applied to free word-order languages tend to underperform compared to, e.g., parsing English. Constituency-based models often fail to capture generalizations that cannot be stated in structural terms, and dependency-based models employ a ‘single-head’ assumption that often breaks in the face of multiple exponence. In this paper we suggest that the pos...
متن کاملSyncretism without Underspecification in Optimality Theory: The Role of Leading Forms
The main goal of this article is to outline a new approach to syncretism in optimality theory, one that does not rely on tools like underspecification or rules of referral that are taken over from grammatical theories which do not recognize constraint ranking and constraint violability. The analysis is based on a concept of morphological exponents as leading forms. Instances of syncretism can b...
