Guttural syneresis in Tigrinya and Tigre

Exploring acoustic overlaps in Djibouti Somali
Somali is well known to exhibit vowel harmony (Armstrong 1934), but linguists know remarkably little about how the system is implemented. Most presume that harmonic oppositions involve the tongue root and analyze the system relative to the feature [ ATR ], though the phonetic implementation of the contrast is complicated by a “quirky” (Krämer 2008) vocalic system. Reports also indicate that harmonic alternations vary between speakers and dialects…
Vowel length in Friulian verbs
Articles of Italian unite! Italian definite articles without allomorphy
This article examines the various realizations of the Italian definite article and concludes, against all previous accounts of this phenomenon, that neither the singular nor the plural realizations constitute a case of allomorphy stricto sensu . Significantly extending Larsen's (1998) analysis, the paper argues that all of the realizations of the definite article, including the problematic [i] and [ʎi], share a single underlying representation. I…
Verbal classes in Somali
This paper focuses on the complex derivational and inflectional morphology of Somali (East Cushitic) verbs. Somali verbs are traditionally cast in three major classes, depending on specific lexical suffixes (Saeed 1993). It is assumed that these classes must be distinguished because the relevant suffixes trigger a morphologically conditioned allomorphy. We argue against this view and claim that the allomorphic patterns targeting each class are ep…
Pluralization, feminization and pitch accent in Djibouti Somali nouns
The goal of this paper is to present newly collected data of Djibouti Somali and show how it offers insight into the architecture of nouns. Djibouti Somali, like Standard Somali, is characterized by the presence of inflectional classes. Building on my own fieldwork material, I discuss both the empirical statements and the theoretical implications that emerge from the observation of three aspects of noun inflection: (1) pluralization strategies, (…
Allomorphy-its logic and limitations
La structure phonologique des marqueurs flexionnels de l’imparfait de l’indicatif du français
Cet article illustre, à l’aide des formes verbales de l’imparfait de l’indicatif du français, les traits principaux d’un cadre analytique fondé, d’une part, sur la Morphologie Distribuée et, d’autre part, sur la Théorie des Éléments et le modèle CV. Il est proposé que chaque morphème soit associé à un exposant phonologique unique. Cet exposant s’applique à toute occurrence du même morphème à l’intérieur du paradigme flexionnel. Chaque forme fléch…
The Romance plural isogloss and linguistic change
The Decomposition of Somali Nouns
The goal of this paper is to understand the internal organization of Somali nouns. More precisely, I propose an analysis of the inflectional markers, i.e. the exponents of gender, number and syntactic case. Within a syntactic approach to noun formation, I show that a list of basic exponents can be reached throughout the phonological deconstruction of the surface forms. In addition, I argue that each phonological exponent corresponds to a unique m…
