No Additional Strata, No Loop! A Reanalysis of Malayalam Compound Morphophonology
K. P. Mohanan (1986) claims that different compound types in Malayalam are associated with distinct strata with systematic phonological differences. However, compound embedding indicates that these strata must interact bidirectionally, necessitating a stratal loop. The loop abolishes strict ordering of strata, which results in a less restrictive architecture of stratal phonology. Contrary to these results, we show that the loop is unwarranted onc…
The Concatenative Structure of Tonal Overwriting
Replacive overwriting by morphological tone has been used as major evidence for cyclic construction approaches to phonology (Hyman 2013, Inkelas 2018, Rolle 2018). In this article, I show that this argument is unwarranted: tonal overwriting can be derived by simple concatenation of tonal morphemes, general phonological constraints, and minimal access to morphological information-in Autosegmental Colored Containment Theory. In detailed analyses, I…
The stratal structure of Kuria morphological tone
Marlo et al. (2015) claim that Kuria verbal tone morphology undermines three well-established principles of locality and modularity: (1) Phonological Locality : the assumption that rules and constraints may only evaluate a small window of phonological objects; (2) Cyclic Locality : the stratal organization of morphophonology into stems, words and phrases; and (3) Indirect Reference : the claim that phonological rules and constraints cannot direct…
The subsegmental structure of German plural allomorphy
Plurals in the native stratum of German nouns exhibit a complex interlacing of arbitrary lexical classes and virtually exceptionless generalizations across them. Thus while it is not fully predictable phonologically or semantically which suffix allomorph a plural noun takes and whether it undergoes umlaut (vowel fronting), specific suffixes consistently trigger or block umlaut (Augst 1979; Wurzel 1998; Wunderlich 1999), and all plural forms obey …

Moraic Affixes and Morphological Colors in Dinka
Dinka has two patterns of vowel-lengthening morphology: lengthening by one mora and imposition of a bimoraic template. Flack (2007) claims that these data provide conclusive evidence for morphemespecific indexed markedness constraints. In this article, I reanalyze the Dinka data in Colored Containment Theory ( van Oostendorp 2006 ), effectively showing that the Dinka data are consistent with a more restrictive approach to the morphology-phonology…
Generalised mora affixation and quantity-manipulating morphology
One of the major attributes of autosegmental phonology is the possibility of reducing procedural techniques of morphological exponence to a generalised concept of concatenation. This research programme, which equates the triggers of non-concatenative processes with affixes consisting of incomplete autosegmental or prosodic representations, is called Generalised Non-linear Affixation in Bermúdez-Otero (2012). In this paper, we argue that the Gener…

Paradigmatic generalization of morphemes
Stress Uniformity in Albanian
The uniformity of stress assignment across inflectional forms in Albanian leads to massive phonological opacity, which seems to lend itself either to paradigmatic output-output constraints ( Benua 1997 , McCarthy 2005 ) or to a stratal organization of phonology ( Kiparsky 2000 , Bermúdez-Otero 2008 ) where inflected word forms preserve the stress assigned to stems at an earlier stratum. In this article, I show that a detailed analysis of Albanian…
The Morphology and Phonology of Exponence
Constraints on multiple-feature mutation
Closest c-command, agree and impoverishment
We provide a minimalist syntactic analysis for the morphological realization of non-active voice in Albanian, a paradigm that exhibits a three-way alternation: inflectional affix, clitic and auxiliary choice. We show that the morphological realization of the Albanian non-active voice reflects the hierarchy of functional categories in the clause. More specifically, we argue that the distribution of the morphological means to realize non-active voi…
Overwriting as optimization
Coherence in affix order
In this article, I propose a new family of constraints on affix order, called “C oherence ”, which require that index changes in morphological words are minimized. C oherence constraints complement the optimality-theoretic account of affix order for subject agreement affixes in Trommer (2003c) which relies crucially on alignment constraints, but cannot capture all attested ordering patterns. C oherence constraints have the effect that different a…
"Case suffixes", postpositions, and the phonological word in Hungarian
In this article I propose a new construction algorithm for the phonological word in Hungarian. Based on a detailed discussion of the differences between so-called 'postpositions' and 'case suffixes', I show that both types of adpositional elements are of the same morphosyntactic category, and that phonological word status depends not on an arbitrary division between affixes and syntactically free items, but on phonological properties of the respe…

Person and number agreement in Dumi
Aissen (1999, 2003) argues that prominence hierarchy effects in morphosyntax are governed by fixed rankings of markedness constraints related to the hierarchies themselves by harmonic alignment (Prince and Smolensky 1993). In this article, I analyze the effects of prominence hierarchies on agreement in Dumi, an endangered Kiranti language spoken in Eastern Nepal (van Driem 1993), and argue that the empirical facts can be captured best if hierarch…
