MSCs in positional neutralisation
Do inputs need to be restricted on a language-specific basis? Classic Optimality Theory claims that they do not: the rich base is filtered by constraints that yield full contrast, complementary distributions or positional neutralisation depending on the ranking. The problem arises when positional neutralisation affects a gappy contrast. In Russian, voicing neutralisation works on all obstruents alike, including non-contrastively voiceless ones – …
The lexical core of a complex functional affix
Learning complex segments
Sequences such as [mb, kp, ts] pattern as complex segments in some languages but as clusters of simple consonants in others. What evidence is used to learn their language-specific status? We present an implemented computational model that starts with simple consonants and builds more complex representations by tracking statistical distributions of consonant sequences. This strategy succeeds in a wide range of cases, both in languages that supply …
Inducing nonlocal constraints from baseline phonotactics
Source-Oriented Generalizations as Grammar Inference in Russian Vowel Deletion
Speakers learn detailed generalizations about the morphophonology of their language and extend them to nonce words. We propose a theory of this morphophonological knowledge that partitions the lexicon into uniform and productive sublexicons. Each sublexicon has its own phonotactic grammar, which the speaker uses as an inference mechanism to determine the relative productivity of each sublexicon. We report the results of an experiment on the gener…
Morphological conditioning of phonological regularization
We analyze three types of cases in which exceptional morphemes become regular in the presence of other morphemes (
Selectional restrictions as phonotactics over sublexicons
Lexical and phonological variation in Russian prepositions
Phonological rules can be variable in two ways: they can apply to a subset of the lexicon (lexical variation), or apply optionally, with a probability that depends on the phonological environment (stochastic variation). These two types of variation are occasionally seen as mutually exclusive. We show that the vowel–zero alternation in Russian prepositions ([s trudom] ‘with difficulty’ vs . [sə stinoj] ‘with the wall’) exhibits both types of varia…

The phonology of boundaries and secondary stress in Russian compounds
Although syntactically, canonical compounds are single words, phonologically, they often act as if they are somewhere between words and phrases. The phonological diagnostics that identify words and word edges often misfire when applied to compounds. For example, in Turkish, vowel harmony applies within syntactic words but does not apply between compound stems (Kabak & Vogel 2001)

Introductory phonology (review)
Reviewed by: Introductory phonology Maria Gouskova Introductory phonology. By Bruce Hayes. Oxford: Blackwell, 2008. Pp. 336. ISBN 9781405184116. $31.38. Introductory phonology is Blackwell’s first phonology textbook since Kenstowicz 1994 and Spencer 1995. Unlike Kenstowicz’s book, this one is intended for the novice, though it presupposes a background in phonetics and some familiarity with the goals of linguistic theory. The aims of the book are …
The reduplicative template in Tonkawa
Generalised Template Theory holds that templatic restrictions on reduplicative morphemes follow from independent, general principles. Under lexically indexed constraint theory, however, reduplicants are in no way special – morpheme-specific constraints may apply just to reduplicants. This article presents reduplication patterns in Tonkawa, which are argued to require reduplicant-specific constraints. In Tonkawa, the reduplicant is limited in size…
Dep
The correspondence-theoretic constraint Dep (McCarthy and Prince 1995) is often informally described as a constraint against epenthesis. While Dep does militate against epenthesis in input-output mappings, it has a more technical sense when applied to other domains, such as base-reduplicant correspondence and output-output correspondence
Relational hierarchies in Optimality Theory
A number of phonological laws require adjacent elements to stand a certain distance apart from each other on some prominence scale. For example, according to the Syllable Contact Law, the greater the sonority slope between the coda and the following onset, the better. Languages such as Faroese, Icelandic, Sidamo, Kazakh and Kirghiz select different thresholds for an acceptable sonority slope. This article proposes a theory for deriving hierarchie…
