Inor group
This chapter covers the languages within the Inor group: Inor, Endegagn, Ener, and Gyeta. It also covers the palatalization, nasalization, and labialization of allophones. While Inor, Endegagn, and Gyeta speak their language for conversations, they use Amharic for written and oral activities. Additionally, Inor is known to have extensive position-based consonant mutations, which are also classified between weak and strong. The chapter also looks …
From Classical to Modern Arab Names and Back
This article investigates the evolution of Arab personal name formulas in the Arabian Peninsula and the Levant since the early days of Islam. We chronicle three periods from the five-component formula of the classical period (550–1600 ce) to the three-component formulas of the neoclassical Kuwaiti period (1600–1960 ce) and modern period in twelve countries (1960–present), as well as the two-component formula of the Islamic State (2014–present). W…
Numeric Codes in the Arabian Peninsula
Increasingly since around the year 2000, Kuwaiti youths of Badu (Bedouin) ancestry use three-digit numeric codes, coined and popularized by the language users themselves, to refer to their tribes in computer-mediated communication and public areas. These digital nicknames are more functional in Internet-based searches than the polymorphous names of tribes, although tribes and numeric codes do not always match one-to-one. These codes evidently rep…
The Sound of Mute Vowels in Auditory Word-Stem Completion
On the Mental Representation of Arabic Roots
In Prunet, Béland, and Idrissi 2000, we presented evidence from an aphasic subject that argued for the morphemic status of Arabic consonantal roots. We predicted that inaudible glides in weak roots should resurface in metathesis and template selection errors, but at the time the relevant data were unattested. Here, we present such data, obtained from a new series of experiments with the same aphasic subject. Arabic hypocoristic formation offers a…
External Evidence and the Semitic Root
Nasal Vowels as Two Segments
We attempt to demonstrate that the substitution of a foreign segment in the borrowings of our database, which includes 14,350 segmental malformations from French and English loanwords in eight distinct languages, involves its replacement by a single native segment. This tendency is so strong in our database as to be virtually exceptionless, except where nasal vowels are concerned. These vowels are systematically adapted as an oral vowel followed …
The Mental Representation of Semitic Words
This article is concerned with external evidence bearing on the nature of the units stored in the mental lexicons of speakers of Semitic languages. On the basis of aphasic metathesis errors we collected in a single case study, we suggest that roots can be accessed as independent morphological units. We review documented language games and slips of the tongue that lead to the same conclusion. We also discuss evidence for the morphemic status of te…
A reanalysis of velar transparency cases
Selon l'hypothese du coronal faible, l'articulateur conoral est le seul articulateur universel absent en representation phonologique sous-jacente. L'article conteste ce point de vue en rassemblant des arguments en faveur de la sous-specification de l'articulation velaire. Il reanalyse de facon exhaustive des cas de la transparence velaire vis-a-vis des voyelles dans le chinook, le choctaw et le luganda en termes de propagation du trait terminal o…
On the Validity of Morpheme Structure Constraints
Morpheme structure constraints (MSCs or, equivalently, morphemic constraints), i.e., constraints on underived items, pose a logical problem to any theory claiming that the first input list to the lexicon, i.e., the dictionary (DICT), may contain material which is considered ill-formed by the MSCs of the language. This problem is related to Scobbie’s (1991:1) “interaction problem”, i.e., the need to make explicit the way in which constraints, rule…
A Note on Velar Nasals
In the past few years, a number of articles have argued that the default articulator for consonants is Coronal (see, for example, Kiparsky 1985; Iverson and Kim 1987:187; Shaw 1988; Avery and Rice 1989; and the contributors to Paradis and Prunet 1991). Paradis and Prunet (1993b), with a view to strengthening and formalizing this proposal, have expressed the Weak Coronal Hypothesis (WCH) in (1)
The Origin and Interpretation of French Loans in Carrier
On coronal transparency
This article is concerned with the internal structure of coronals. Although coronals are often considered the least marked consonants on the basis of frequency and acquisition, current models of feature geometry assign coronality no special status among places of articulation. 1 In this paper, we argue that the structure of coronals differs from that of other consanats in that coronals lack a Place node altogether
