Kashaya Foot Extrametricality as Post-Accentuation
Kashaya, an endangered Pomoan language of northern California, has an iambic stress pattern, assigned within words and phrases. Accent regularly shifts rightward from a (CV:) foot onto the following foot, including opaque contexts when length is lost or moved by other processes. This paper brings into the analysis a class of lexical triggers of accent shift: specific stems with no long vowels on the surface that nonetheless also trigger this shif…
Core syllables vs. moraic writing
It is generally accepted that the units of writing systems represent categories found in spoken language; in phonographic writing, these categories traditionally include the syllable and segment, which correspond to syllabic and alphabetic systems. But it has been claimed that some or most “syllabaries” are actually based on moras, well known from phonological theory as units of syllable weight. I argue that apparent moraic systems are in fact bu…
Phonology at the boundary of word and phrase
The verb morphology of Kashaya, a Pomoan language of northern California, includes a class of five evidential suffixes. All but one ends in the vowel /a/, whose special behavior is the focus of this paper. A central goal is to lay out the facts clearly and thoroughly, since they are not easily available in existing sources; but I also discuss several possible analyses and their theoretical implications. I first present the evidential suffixes, il…
Kashaya Extrametricality and Formal Symmetry
Kager (2012), Martínez-Paricio & Kager (2013), and Martínez-Paricio (2013) propose layered feet to account for a variety of phenomena, including stress windows, mixed binary and ternary alternations, and extrametricality. Although many metrical theories do not accommodate left-edge extrametricality, they use constraints that are almost entirely symmetrical and can therefore capture initial extrametricality in a language like Kashaya (Pomoan: Cali…
Locality in metrical typology
Recent work in metrical typology within Optimality Theory has emphasised the rhythmic distribution of stress peaks by reference to clashes and lapses, compared to the more central role of foot constituency characteristic of most previous approaches. One consequence of this emphasis has been the introduction of constraints that require reference to non-adjacent objects in the representation, such as two unstressed syllables plus a word edge or a s…
Vowel-Sonorant Metathesis in Alsea
Stems in Alsea exhibit pervasive alternations involving the root vowel, which may be present or absent (/cx̣wat/, /cx̣wt/ 'fight'). Stems with a medial sonorant consonant have an additional form, in which the order of the consonant and vowel is reversed by metathesis (/tmus/, /tums/, /tms/ 'close'). The central goal of this paper is to describe and analyze this metathesis and its relation to syllable structure in Alsea, with connections to patter…

Iambic Lengthening and Final Vowels
Alignment in Manam Stress
Derivational analyses of Manam stress, in particular that of Halle and Kenstowicz (1991), employ abstract intermediate representations to account for the interaction of the basic right-to-left trochaic foot structure, the special status of extrametrical suffixes and clitics, and the disrupting effect of "stress shift" caused by closed syllables and vowels in hiatus. Such analyses are empirically inadequate, failing to account for secondary stress…

Against vowel length in Tigrinya
The premise of this paper is that vowel length plays no role in the synchronic phonology of Tigrinya: processes affecting vowels should be treated in qualitative terms only. The evidence in favor of synchronic vowel length is weak, and stronger evidence favors an analysis in which vowel length is phonologically irrelevant. While some researchers have made use of contrastive vowel length in the modern language to account for ostensible closed-syll…
