A prosodic-cyclic theory of circumfix linearization
This paper proposes a theory of circumfix linearization in Distributed Morphology. The core of the proposal is that circumfixation arises whenever one of two exponents of the same morphosyntactic feature has a prosodic subcategorization frame. This will be exemplified with data from Indonesian ke- -an nominalizations where facts regarding stress placement, the domain of nominalization and other grammatical processes point towards a prosodic-cycli…
Reflexes of exponent movement in inflectional morphology
Seemingly non-local phonological operations triggered by inflectional exponents have been observed in a number of languages. Focussing on de-spirantization in Barwar Aramaic, accent shift in Lithuanian, ni -insertion in Quechua, ruki rule application in Sanskrit, and vowel harmony in Kazakh, we argue that these phenomena should be analyzed as strictly local phonological reflexes of movement in a pre-syntactic autonomous morphological component. S…
Determiner removal in Balinese nonpivot agents
Patient-voice clauses within the symmetric voice system of Balinese disallow any extraction from the external-argument position, while definite external arguments are blocked from occurring altogether. The former fact is traditionally taken as evidence for syntactic ergativity in Austronesian. The latter fact has recently been argued to provide evidence for postsyntactic case licensing via adjacency with the verb. In this article, we offer a simp…
Velar lateral allophony in Mee (Ekari)
Velar lateral sounds are rare and their acoustics and contextual effects are understudied. Positional variants of velar laterals are also rarely reported. This paper documents a previously unknown allophony pattern of the velar lateral in Mee (Trans New Guinea; Indonesia), based on an elicitation study with two speakers and a controlled set of recordings from one of the speakers. Our main dataset included carrier phrase recordings of Mee words wi…
Posterior Affricate in Mee and Consonant-Vowel Place Interactions
In this paper we document a previously unknown allophony pattern of the posterior affricate in Mee (Trans New Guinea; Indonesia). The affricate is realized as a laterally released velar stop [gʟ] before front vowels and with uvular closure followed by a fricative release [ɢʁ] before back vowels. Our description is confirmed in an acoustic study that shows differences in the second formant of the preceding vowel and the periodicity of the release …
