Preview: Main claims

Most sound patterns are local. ≡ If two distant sounds interact, the more closer ones will as well, all other things being equal. Local interactions make phonetic sense (articulation, perception). Some locality effects are less clearly phonetically grounded. Phonological representations and/or operations must be able to capture the locality bias.

Adjacency What is local?

Most sound patterns are local. In the strictest of senses, local means adjacent: Def A sequence of segments ab is local if the segments a and b are adjacent. Let’s look at some frequent patterns.

Adjacency

Lithuanian velar metathesizes with an adjacent coronal when followed by another stop. 3rd.past imper.sg breSko brekSk brekSti ‘break (of dawn)’ brizgo briksk briksti ‘fray’ Most, if not all, cases of metathesis involve adjacent segments (Metathesis in Language Database, http://metathesisinlanguage.osu.edu). Non-adjacent metathesis is diachronic or can be analyzed as allomorphy (e.g. Turkana, Akkadian).

Cluster simplification via deletion in Pali (Zec 1995) Sanskrit Pali prati paúi ‘against’ traana taana ‘protection’ kramati kamati ‘walks’ Deletion is often conditioned by adjacent consonants. Other kinds of deletion (e.g. at the edge, vowel deletion next to another vowel) are also frequent.

Non-adjacent locality Relativized locality

While most sound patterns are local, not all of them are. We have already seen one example: stress patterns. Yet even the non-local patterns still exhibit locality biases: closer is better than further apart.

While most sound patterns are local, not all of them are. We have already seen one example: stress patterns. Yet even the non-local patterns still exhibit locality biases: closer is better than further apart. Locality can be relativized: Def If two distant segments interact, all intervening identical segments must also interact, all other things being equal. Let’s look what this means on a few examples.

Non-adjacent locality

In Finnish, front root vowels come with front suffix vowels, while back root vowels come with back suffix vowels. Front/back harmony in Finnish (Ringen 1975/1988; Ringen & Hein¨am¨aki 1999) næh-kø:n ‘see-direct.sg’ tul-ko:n ‘come-direct.sg’ næk-ø ‘sight’ tul-o ‘coming’ pøytæ-næ ‘table-essive’ poutA-nA ‘fine weather-essive’ Consonants are unaffected (and also some vowels, we will talk about that next time). Vowel harmony is a common pattern. Only vowels are involved, consonants do not count*.

Non-adjacent locality

Consonant harmony involves alternation of consonants across vowels, often several away. In Aari, posterior {S, Z} follow posterior coronal fricatives or affricates in the root, while anterior fricatives {s, z} surface in all other cases. Aari harmony (Hayward 1990) giP-sis- ‘hit’ naS-SiS- ‘like, love’ duuk-sis- ‘bury’ tS’a¨ aq-SiS- ‘curse, swear’ sug-zis- ‘push’ Sen-SiS-¨¨ ‘buy’ mer-sis- ‘forbid’ Za:q-SiS- ‘throw’ giP-s-it ‘hit’ qa¨Z-Z-it ‘get cold’ duuk-s-it ‘bury’ tS’a¨ aq-S-it ‘curse, swear’ giP-er-s-it ‘be hit’ Zaq-er-S-it¨¨ ‘be thrown’ ¨ Peter Jurgec University of Toronto Locality in Phonology Introduction What?

Non-adjacent locality Dissimilation

Tashlhiyt Berber (henceforth, Tashlhiyt) has a dissimilatory pattern in which no more than one labial consonant is possible per word. A prefix containing a labial nasal surfaces as coronal when followed by labial consonant within the root. Labial dissimilation in Tashlhiyt Berber (El Medlaoui 1995:46–47) m-xazar ‘scowl.refl’ n-fara ‘disintengle.refl’ m-saggal ‘look for.relf’ n-èaSSam ‘be shy.relf’ mm-Zla ‘lose.refl’ n-kaddab ‘consider a liar.refl’ am-las ‘shear.agent’ an-bur ‘remain celibate.agent’ am-krz ‘plow.agent’ an-AZUM ‘fast.agent’ Dissimilation acts at a distance: any root labial affects the prefix.

Non-adjacent locality shift

Tone can shift several syllables away, typically targeting a prominent position (edge, stressed syllable). In Chizigula, tone shifts to the penultimate syllable. Chizigula tone shift (Kenstowicz & Kisseberth 1990) /ku-l´ombez-a/ → [ku-lomb´ez-a] ‘to request’ /ku-l´ombez-ez-a/ → [ku-lombez-´ez-a] ‘to request for’ /ku-l´ombez-ez-an-a/ → [ku-lombez-ez-´an-a] ‘to request for each other’ Tone shifting is a common pattern and can often skips several syllables. Segmental shift is also observed and typically targets the stressed vowel (Esimbi, Halkomelem).

Non-adjacent locality Oprah effect

Some speakers of Dutch can pronounce [ô] in recent loanwords from English, as long as they lack a suffix. In suffixed , the rhotic is replaced by the native [ö]. Dutch affixation: ô → ö bare root ô derived ö Op[ô]ah ‘Oprah’ Op[ö]ah-tje *Op[ô]ah-tje ‘dimin’ Ba[ô]ack ‘Barack’ Ba[ö]ack-se *Ba[ô]ack-se ‘adj’ [ô]eading ‘Reading’ [ö]eading-je *[ô]eading-je ‘dimin’ Flo[ô]ida ‘Florida’ Flo[ö]ida-tje *Flo[ô]ida-tje ‘dimin’ All r’s in the root are affected, regardless of their distance from the suffix. This pattern has been in native words (e.g. Russian) and well-integrated loanwords (Tagalog) as well.

Peter Jurgec University of Toronto Locality in Phonology Introduction What? Why? How? Conclusions References

Non-adjacent locality Interim summary

Many sound patterns involve strictly adjacent sounds, but others do not. Even non-adjacent patterns are local in some sense: closer targets are preferred to distant targets (e.g. Chaha labialization) more distant targets imply closer targets (e.g. Finnish vowel harmony) interacting sounds are restricted to a domain (e.g. Berber dissimilation)

Phonetics Why do sound patterns local?

The majority of sound patterns are adjacent and the remaining ones are still local in some sense. Why is locality favored? Two answers: 1 2 phonology Case study ⋆

Peter Jurgec University of Toronto Locality in Phonology Introduction What? Why? How? Conclusions References

Phonetics Articulatory locality (Gafos 1996/1999)

Adjacent segments are likely to interact because articulatory gestures often aren’t perfectly aligned with segmental boundaries. Articulatory gestures can extend beyond a single . Nasality corresponds to lowered velum, which can extend from nasal segments to adjacent segments. Lip rounding can extend from one vowel/syllable to a preceding/following syllable. Phonologization of these articulatory tendencies can lead to stable sound patterns/alternations.

Phonetics Perceptual locality

Perception of one segment is affected by a nearby segment, but this relationship is sometimes indirect. Example 1 ⋆ Voicing assimilation /ap-da/ → [abda] Perception of obstruent voicing is most strong before vowels, less before sonorants, followed by other , and prepausal position (Steriade 2008). Voicing of obstruents before other obstruents is hard to perceive.

Example 2 ⋆ Consonant harmony Contrast between two words is easier to perceive if all consonants are identical/harmonized in each of the two words, and this effect is stronger the more similar the consonants are (Gallagher 2010).

Peter Jurgec University of Toronto Locality in Phonology Introduction What? Why? How? Conclusions References

Phonetics Mismatch between production and perception

Vowel harmony typically does not affect intervening consonants. Vowel place cues are difficult to perceive on consonants. Even in consonants had the relevant vocalic feature, it would likely to be imperceptible. Perceptual effects may blur the articulatory facts.

Peter Jurgec University of Toronto Locality in Phonology Introduction What? Why? How? Conclusions References

Phonology Phonological locality

A large body of work points out that phonological locality is quite different than phonetic adjacency. Often, segments that are several syllables away interact, and this cannot be due to articulatory reasons. Nevins (2010): Phonological locality is formally different from phonetic locality. Phonology, like , works differently than phonetics. His idea is that some segments need to get a feature from a nearby segment. Hansson (2001); Rose & Walker (2004): Consonant harmony is due to agreement/matching between consonants, which is a formal phonological relationship, not necessarily grounded in phonetics.

Peter Jurgec University of Toronto Locality in Phonology Introduction What? Why? How? Conclusions References

Phonology Interim summary

Phonological locality has clear grounds in phonetics (articulation, perception). This is particularly the case for some kinds of local/adjacent patterns. Some kinds of locality are harder to explain, and may need a non-phonetic explanation. This course is not geared at examining the phonetic grounds of locality, but rather focus on various phonological factors (descriptive generalizations, typologies, and theoretical accounts).

Rules and representations Feature Geometry

Autosegmental Phonology has been originally built for tone. Feature Geometry presents an theory that extends autosegments to segmental features (Clements 1985; Steriade 1987; McCarthy 1988; Odden 1991) Key idea: features do not link to the root node, but instead to feature nodes, which group similar features together (e.g. place, manner, laryngeal): × A B c f d g e H i j Peter Jurgec University of Toronto Locality in Phonology Introduction What?

Optimality Theory is theory of constraint interaction (Prince & Smolensky 1993/2004). Locality is part of both faithfulness and markedness constraints: Faithfulness ∼ Linearity (≡ No metathesis) /axb/ → [bxa] has violations ...but /axb/ → [xab] has only one.

Constraints and operations Harmonic Serialism

The final step is once we consider constraints and serial derivations. We will consider Harmonic Serialism (HS). HS is a variant of OT that combines constraint ranking with serial derivations: Gen in HS generates only those candidates that differ from the input by one single operation. The winning candidate is then fed back to Gen as a new input for another round of evaluation. This loop is then repeated until the fully faithful parse of the latest input wins.

This course Aims of this course

Locality is a central phonological concept. We will look at descriptive generalizations about locality in phonology, with the focus on long-distance patterns. We will discuss the theories of locality. We will try to understand the predictions (advantages, challenges) of these theories.
