Reduplication in Stratal OT
نویسنده
چکیده
In Stratal OT, morphology and phonology are stratified and interleaved, as in traditional Lexical Phonology (Mohanan 1986), but the strata (Stem, Word, Postlexical) are characterized by systems of parallel constraints. The output of each morphological operation is submitted to the phonological constraints on its stratum: stems must satisfy the stem phonology, words must satisfy the word phonology, and Phrase must satisfy the phrasal phonology.1 For example, an affix which is added to stems to form words would enter into the derivation in the following fashion.

Learning opacity in Stratal Maximum Entropy Grammar
(Kiparsky 1971, 1973) draws attention to cases of historical change that suggest that at least some opaque phonological process interactions are difficult to learn. In his work on Stratal Optimality Theory (Stratal OT), he further claims that independent evidence about the stratal affiliation of a process is helpful in learning an opaque interaction (Kiparsky 2000). In this paper, we develop a ...
متن کاملThe full vs. partial reduplication in Korean sālsal and sălɨlɨ: A case for over- and under-application
The reduplication in Kor. sālsal and sălɨlɨ ‘gently’ presents interesting phonological problems in 1) what should be the underlying base, *sal or salɨ? and 2) how the length alternation should be explained. In this paper I first present a serial analysis in which these examples are explained as cases of overand under-application, and then examine how it compares with a similar analysis in recen...
متن کاملStratal OT: A synopsis and FAQs
By modeling phonology as a system of ranked violable constraints, Optimality Theory (OT) succeeded in bringing substantive universals and typological generalizations to bear on the analysis of individual phonological systems, and uncovered important generalizations that escaped classical generative phonology, such as top-down effects and the emergence of the unmarked, to name just two (Prince a...
متن کاملA Stratal OT Approach to a Noun-Verb Asymmetry With Respect to Opacity in Korean
This paper revisits the well-known opacity caused by the interaction of post-obstruent tensification and coda cluster simplification in Korean and suggests a new class of data that threatens the validity of previous approaches. The new data shows that the opacity occurs only if the input belongs to a certain morphological category such as verb. Therefore, it calls for a theory in which morpholo...
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...
