Learning a typologically unusual reduplication pattern
Crosslinguistic evidence for a strong statistical universal
Crosslinguistic evidence for a strong statistical universal
We report a statistical test of a long-standing hypothesis in the literature: that phonological neutralization rules are more common at the ends of lexical domains than the beginnings (Houlihan 1975 et seq.). We collected descriptive grammars for an areally and genetically diverse set of fifty languages, identified all active phonological rules that target the edge of a lexical domain (root, stem, word, phrase, or utterance), and further coded ea…
Phonological restrictions on lenition in Scottish Gaelic
There has been extraordinary attention devoted to the Celtic mutations over the years, with various authors arguing for phonological, morphological, or lexical treatments (and various blends thereof). Strikingly, this literature is virtually bereft of any mention of the phonological restrictions that can sometimes limit the applicability of mutation. In this article, we provide a detailed experimental and corpus-based investigation of the phonolo…
Anti-markedness patterns in French epenthesis
Cross-linguistically, certain vowel types tend to be used to break up otherwise ill-formed consonant clusters in a given language: they are generally non-low, non-round and either front or central. Such epenthetic vowels are commonly referred to as the language’s default vowel. For example, the default vowel in Maltese is [i],in Spanish it is [e], and it is schwa in Finnish, English, and Dutch. One might assume, then, that these vowels have certa…

Affix-favored Contrast Inequity and Psycholinguistic Grounding for Non-concatenative Morphology
Semitic Morphology
A Fixed Prosodic Theory of Nonconcatenative Templaticmorphology
Emergent iambs
The inadequacy of the consonantal root
Semitic languages such as Hebrew and Arabic are known for what has become characterised as their discontiguous or non-concatenative morphology. In the overwhelming majority of the literature, in both ‘traditional’ and generative grammar, semantically related words in such languages are described as sharing a common ROOT, usually consisting of three consonants. Such consonantal roots are viewed as actual morphemes with lexical status. Words are fo…
