  • A Typology of Consonant Agreement As Correspondence
    A TYPOLOGY OF CONSONANT AGREEMENT AS CORRESPONDENCE SHARON ROSE RACHEL WALKER University of California, San Diego University of Southern California This article presents a typology of consonant harmony or LONG DISTANCE CONSONANT AGREEMENT that is analyzed as arisingthroughcorrespondence relations between consonants rather than feature spreading. The model covers a range of agreement patterns (nasal, laryngeal, liquid, coronal, dorsal) and offers several advantages. Similarity of agreeing consonants is central to the typology and is incorporated directly into the constraints drivingcorrespondence. Agreementby correspon- dence without feature spreadingcaptures the neutrality of interveningsegments,which neither block nor undergo. Case studies of laryngeal agreement and nasal agreement are presented, demon- stratingthe model’s capacity to capture varyingdegreesof similarity crosslinguistically.* 1. INTRODUCTION. The action at a distance that is characteristic of CONSONANT HAR- MONIES stands as a pivotal problem to be addressed by phonological theory. Consider the nasal alternations in the Bantu language, Kikongo (Meinhof 1932, Dereau 1955, Webb 1965, Ao 1991, Odden 1994, Piggott 1996). In this language, the voiced stop in the suffix [-idi] in la is realized as [ini] in 1b when preceded by a nasal consonant at any distance in the stem constituent, consistingof root and suffixes. (1) a. m-[bud-idi]stem ‘I hit’ b. tu-[kun-ini]stem ‘we planted’ n-[suk-idi]stem ‘I washed’ tu-[nik-ini]stem ‘we ground’ In addition to the alternation in 1, there are no Kikongo roots containing a nasal followed by a voiced stop, confirmingthat nasal harmony or AGREEMENT, as we term it, also holds at the root level as a MORPHEME STRUCTURE CONSTRAINT (MSC).

  • On the Significance of Eloise Jelinek's Pronominal Argument Hypothesis
    On the Significance of Eloise Jelinek's Pronominal Argument Hypothesis Ken Hale Massachusetts Institute of Technology 0. Introduction In 1984, Eloise Jelinek proposed a theory of Navajo grammar designed to account for certain observations which indicated that the organization of clauses in the language was "nonconfigurational" in a very particular sense (Jelinek, 1984). Her framework has since become widely known, and the name Pronominal Argument (PA) is now attached to a wide range of polysynthetic "head-marking languages" (cf. Baker, 1996; Nichols, 1986). She has written a number of works developing the PA model in relation not only to Southern Athabaskan but to Salish as well (e.g., Jelinek and Demers, 1994). In this essay, I will review certain aspects of the PA hypothesis, with emphasis on its relevance (i) to the grammar of Navajo and (ii) to the grammar of noun incorporation. In past work on the Navajo verb (e.g., Hale 2000b), I assumed that the surface organization of the elements appearing within it was due to a 2 KENNETH HALE series of movement rules — applications of Head Movement or Verb Raising. The verb began its upward journey from a position low in the syntactic structure of a sentence, moved from head to head within its extended projection, leaving certain residue (nonnuclear elements). In the first step of this scenario, the verb adjoins to the right edge of the first functional head above it (the Voice marker, traditionally called the Classifier in Athabaskan linguistics). In the second step, the classifier (now burdened with the verb) right-adjoins to Mode (an element similar in function to Infl or Tense in more familiar languages, representing the major aspectual, temporal, and mood oppositions in the language).

  • A Gestural Account of the Velar Fricative in Navajo
    A gestural account of the velar fricative in Navajo Khalil isKarousa, Joyce McDonoughb and D. h. Whalenc aUniversity of Southern California and Haskins Laboratories bUniversity of Rochester cCUNY Graduate Center and Haskins Laboratories Abstract Using the framework of Articulatory Phonology, we offer a phonological account of the allophonic variation undergone by the velar fricative phoneme in Navajo, a Southern or Apachean Athabaskan language spoken in Arizona and New Mexico. The Navajo velar fricative strongly co-articulates with the following vowel, vary- ing in both place and manner of articulation. The variation in this velar fricative seems greater than the variation of velars in many well-studied languages. The coronal central fricatives in the inventory, in contrast, are quite phonetically sta- ble. The back fricative of Navajo thus highlights 1) the linguistic use of an extreme form of coarticulation and 2) the mechanism by which languages can control coarticulation. It is argued that the task dynamic model underlying Articulatory Phonology, with the mechanism of gestural blending controlling coarticulation, can account for the multiplicity of linguistically-controlled ways in which velars coarticulate with surrounding vowels without requiring any changes of input spec- ification due to context. The ability of phonological and morphological constraints to restrict the amount of coarticulation argues against strict separation of phonet- ics and phonology. 1. Introduction There have been two major themes in the laboratory phonology approach to linguistic sound patterns. The first is a concern with the effects of language use, production, and perception on linguistic structure, and the second is the investigation of how linguistic knowledge affects motor and perceptual pat- terns (Pierrehumbert et al.

In this study, we test phonological con - straints not just in particular cases, but across the board. We employ a novel method that statistically models the distribution of word bigrams (consecutive two-word sequences) and how this distribution is influenced by phonological constraints. Our study of multiple corpora indicates that several phonological constraints do indeed play a statistically significant role in English sen - tence formation. We also show that by examining particular subsets of the corpora we can diag - nose the mechanisms whereby phonologically marked sequences come to be underrepresented. We conclude by discussing modes of grammatical organization compatible with our findings.* Keywords : markedness, phrasal phonology, syntax-phonology interface, grammatical architec - tures 1. Goals and setting . The focus of this article is how different domains of linguistic knowledge—here, syntactic, phonological, and lexical—interact in the creation of sen - tences. An influential proposal for how these domains interact is the componential feed- forward model, laid out in Chomsky 1965:16 and shown in Figure 1.

    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 050 832 RC 004 YjO AUTHOR Sande, Joe S. TITLE Psycho-Physiological Problems. of the Indians of New Mexico Learning a Second Language. INSTITUTION All Indian Pueblo Council, Albuquerque, N. Mex. PUB DATE [65] NOTE 21p. EDRS PRICE EDRS Price MF-$0.65 HC-'.!3.29 DESCRIPTORS *American Indians, *Bilingualism, *Education, *English (Second Language), *Language, Linguistics, Navaho, Oral Communication, Spanish IDENTIFIERS *New Mexico ABSTRACT According to the document, learning the English language is comparable to learning a foreign language for the American Indian child. Thus, a brief history of the Indians of New Mexico is given in order to emphasize language differences and problems arising in learning a new tongue. As pointed out, second-language learning requires a change in pattern of intonation, stress, rhythv, and meanings inaddition to the phonemes. Major linguistic families of the American Indians in New Mexico are discussed, thereby pointing up problematic areas which could relate to academic difficulties for the American Indian. It is believed that the monolingual Indian 6-year-old, entering school for the first time, is at a great disadvantage when compared with an English-speaking 6-year-old entering the same school and having a listening vocabulary of perhaps 8,000 to 10,000 English words.
