Rethinking late prehistoric Mediterranean Africa
The European shores of the Mediterranean are characterised by well-known sociocultural and economic dynamics during the Bronze and Early Iron Ages (2200-550 BC), but our understanding of the African shores is comparatively vague. Here, the authors present results from excavations at Kach Kouch, Morocco, revealing an occupation phase from 2200-2000 cal BC, followed by a stable settlement from c. 1300-600 BC characterised by wattle and daub archite…
The prehistoric site of Oued Beht, Khémisset, Morocco
This report presents the first in-depth publication of preliminary data from Oued Beht, northwest Morocco, a remarkable site initially identified in the 1930s and now newly investigated. It is based on fieldwork undertaken in 2021–2022 (photogrammetry, survey and excavation), and associated study and analyses. Oued Beht is shown to be a large site of ca. 9–10 hectares in main extent, with many deep pits and convincing evidence for a full package …
Oued Beht, Morocco
The Maghreb (north-west Africa) played an important role during the Palaeolithic and later in connecting the western Mediterranean from the Phoenician to Islamic periods. Yet, knowledge of its later prehistory is limited, particularly between c. 4000 and 1000 BC. Here, the authors present the first results of investigations at Oued Beht, Morocco, revealing a hitherto unknown farming society dated to c. 3400-2900 BC. This is currently the earliest…
Complex constraints and linguistic typology in Optimality Theory
In Optimality Theory it is possible to construct complex constraints from simpler elements. The question arises as to how far we can simplify the content of UG by decomposing complex constraints in this way. In this paper we argue that although the goal of a simple UG without overproliferation of constraints may be valid, it should not come at the expense of correct typological predictions. We show that incorrect cross-linguistic predictions are …
Second language data and constraints on Manner
Substitutions for English interdentals tend to be consistent based on first language (L1): eg. [t] for speakers of Russian, [s] for speakers of Japanese. While the facts suggest that some type of L1 transfer must be involved, a rule affecting a sound that does not occur in L1 is unlearnable. Optimality Theory (OT) allows a solution to this conundrum because the grammars contain independently necessary constraint rankings that also have an effect …
Coronal epenthesis and markedness
Coronals have been claimed to behave as unmarked consonants in epenthesis. However, it is well known that the glottal consonants ([h ʔ]) are frequently epenthetic, and the empirical basis for the claim about coronal epenthesis has been weak, with only a single example commonly cited. I will show that coronals can in fact occur as epenthetic segments, but only in specific situations showing the classic signs of constraint conflict. I will argue th…
Positional Faithfulness and Voicing Assimilation in Optimality Theory
Syntactic Priming in Immediate Recall of Sentences
Laryngeal Features and Laryngeal Neutralization
Postlexical rules and the status of privative features
Recent work in distinctive features and feature geometry has presented strong evidence that certain features are privative: they have no negative values, so a sound is either marked [F] or else it is not. Evidence comes from possible types of sounds (for example, multiply articulated segments, in Sagey 1986) and from the fact that the negative values of these features are not referred to in phonological rules. Currently there is a nearly universa…
Laryngeal features and privativity
L'A. veut montrer que les caracteristiques de la neutralisation laryngale s'expliquent par l'hypothese que les traits laryngaux sont privatifs et qu'ils sont au nombre de trois (sonorite, aspiration, glottalisation)
Laryngeal neutralization and syllable wellformedness
Prosodic circumscription in Choctaw morphology
The theory of PROSODIC CIRCUMSCRIPTION (McCarthy & Prince 1990a) is a general approach to the problem of limiting the domain of rules to less than a morphological constituent. For example, in the Arabic singular/ plural pairs ndub/anaadib ‘locust’ and sulṭaan/salaaṭiin ‘sultan’, vowel length in the final syllable remains unaltered despite significant changes in the shape of the rest of the word. Prosodic circumscription theory partitions the sing…
