Chaha Labialization and Palatalization as Coalescence
Labialization and palatalization in Chaha target segments in different positions in a word. These processes, with or without a concomitant suffix, often express morphemes. This led researchers to analyze them as featural affixes. I propose and unearth empirical data to the effect that the processes arise from underlying full segments, namely the glides /w, y/, and that the linear order of these segments is fixed. I demonstrate that the processes …
Reduplicative Identity in Chaha
The article discusses the process of continuant dissimilation that derives [k] from /x/ in Chaha (a Western Gurage language of Ethiopia) and its implications for reduplicative identity. It is argued that two correspondence relations are crucial to an adequate analysis of the process: base-reduplicant correspondence and output-output correspondence. Chaha provides a clear instance of "back copy" in which the output of reduplication triggers a chan…
