Metaphony in the tricase Southern Salentino variety
Southern Salentino varieties have a five-vowel system, /i, ɛ, a, ɔ, u/, exhibiting harmonic alternations in stressed mid-vowels: /ɛ/ and /ɔ/ raise to the mid-close [e] and [o], respectively, when followed by high vowels [i] and [u]. This harmony process is traditionally referred to as metaphony. Southern Salentino metaphony is characterized by variation in the way in which the unstressed [i] and [u] affect the stressed vowels /ɛ/ and /ɔ/. We exam…
Root-adjacent exponence in the Sanskrit, Ancient Greek, and Latin verbal systems
Proto-Indo-European verbal morphology is generally described as consisting of at least a “thematic” and an “athematic” conjugation, which differ in whether or not a fixed vocalic piece adjacent to the root (traditionally known as “thematic vowel”) is present. This paper investigates the behavior of the outcomes of the thematic vowels in three ancient Indo-European languages: Sanskrit, Ancient Greek, and Latin. We show that, on the one hand, Latin…
Latin verbal morphology and the diachronic development of its thematic and athematic constructions
This paper investigates the verbal morphology of Latin in terms of the theoretical framework of Distributed Morphology (DM). In addition to providing a synchronic analysis of the verbal system of Latin, this paper discusses the development of the thematic vowel system and of athematic perfect forms in this language from their reconstructed Proto-Indo-European (PIE) antecedents and demonstrates the role of morpho-syntactic structure in constrainin…
Remarks on the Role of the Perfect Participle in Italian Morphology and on its History
Since (Aronoff, Mark. 1994. Morphology by itself . Cambridge, MA: The MIT Press), the disparate morphosyntactic roles that past participle forms have in Latin (and Italian) morphology have played a central role in arguing for morphomic approaches. In this article, I will propose an alternative analysis of the special behavior of these participle forms in Distributed Morphology (DM, Halle Morris, & Alec Marantz. 1993. Distributed morphology and th…
Irregular Morphology and Athematic Verbs in Italo-Romance
As discussed by Kiparsky (1968), historical changes in grammatical structures provide the best "window" on the actual composition of these structure in so far as we expect that the components of the structures play a role in the changes.The morphological changes we observe in the historical development of the Perfect and past Participle forms in Italo-Romance are most adequately accounted when analyzed in terms of the following components: (i) Mo…
Investigations on markedness, syncretism and zero exponence in morphology
Some remarks on the Latin case system and its development in Romance
Sievers’ Law in Gothic
La premiere partie de l'article examine la structure metrique des mots gotiques. La seconde partie examine la syllabification des vocoides hautes palatales. L'A. propose que la syllabification initiale de ces segments en gotique differe de celle observee dans les formes de surface
