Khoekhoegowab tone sandhi
Khoekhoegowab has a tone sandhi process that replaces each underlying tonal melody with an arbitrary secondary melody. This process at first appears to be an unusual example of a "left-dominant" sandhi process in the sense of Yue-Hashimoto (1987) or Zhang (2007). Within a given domain, the leftmost word retains its base from, but the other words undergo paradigmatic substitution; left-dominant systems typically involve spreading of a tonal melody…
Optimal Linearization
Insofar as linearization is a postsyntactic phenomenon pertaining to phonological forms, it is desirable that it be modeled in a violable-constraint framework, like other PF-branch phenomena. This paper presents such a model, with the goal of capturing the Final-over-Final Condition, a typological generalization that says that head-final phrases embed only other head-final phrases, while head-initial phrases may embed phrases of either headedness…
