It changes from time to time. The word. Lexical reduplication, unlike morphological causes for these changes may be borrowing, language reduplication, is not minimally meaningful and thus contact and interference and convergence from other can be further divided as they are formed of two languages. Due to these processes many structural identical words or two non – identical phonological features may come from one language into another words. Language. These exchanges reflect in the It can be partial or complete at this phonological, morphological and lexical levels. level.“Complete Lexical Reduplication is constituted While working with the various kind of languages of two identical (bimodal) words, Ex.: baiThebaiThe there are some circumstances when there is “While sitting” in Hindi.Partial reduplication, on the reduplication of words that is repetition of all or the other hand, is constituted of partial repetition of a part of the word.

    Theoretical Aspects of Gitksan Phonology by Jason Camy Brown B.A., California State University, Fresno, 2000 M.A., California State University, Fresno, 2002 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (Linguistics) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) December 2008 © Jason Camy Brown, 2008 Abstract This thesis deals with the phonology of Gitksan, a Tsimshianic language spoken in northern British Columbia, Canada. The claim of this thesis is that Gitksan exhibits several gradient phonological restrictions on consonantal cooccurrence that hold over the lexicon. There is a gradient restriction on homorganic consonants, and within homorganic pairs, there is a gradient restriction on major class and manner features. It is claimed that these restrictions are due to a generalized OCP effect in the grammar, and that this effect can be relativized to subsidiary features, such as place, manner, etc. It is argued that these types of effects are best analyzed with the system of weighted constraints employed in Harmonic Grammar (Legendre et al. 1990, Smolensky & Legendre 2006). It is also claimed that Gitksan exhibits a gradient assimilatory effect among specific consonants. This type of effect is rare, and is unexpected given the general conditions of dissimilation. One such effect is the frequency of both pulmonic pairs of consonants and ejective pairs of consonants, which occur at rates higher than expected by chance. Another is the occurrence of uvular-uvular and velar-velar pairs of consonants, which also occur at rates higher than chance. This pattern is somewhat surprising, as there is a gradient prohibition on cooccurring pairs of dorsal consonants.

  • Types and Functions of Reduplication in Palembang
    Journal of the Southeast Asian Linguistics Society JSEALS 12.1 (2019): 113-142 ISSN: 1836-6821, DOI: http://hdl.handle.net/10524/52447 University of Hawaiʼi Press TYPES AND FUNCTIONS OF REDUPLICATION IN PALEMBANG Mardheya Alsamadani & Samar Taibah Wayne State University [email protected] & [email protected] Abstract In this paper, we study the morphosemantic aspects of reduplication in Palembang (also known as Musi). In Palembang, both content and function words undergo reduplication, generating a wide variety of semantic functions, such as pluralization, iteration, distribution, and nominalization. Productive reduplication includes full reduplication and reduplication plus affixation, while fossilized reduplication includes partial reduplication and rhyming reduplication. We employed the Distributed Morphology theory (DM) (Halle and Marantz 1993, 1994) to account for these different patterns of reduplication. Moreover, we compared the functions of Palembang reduplication to those of Malay and Indonesian reduplication. Some instances of function word reduplication in Palembang were not found in these languages, such as reduplication of question words and reduplication of negators. In addition, Palembang partial reduplication is fossilized, with only a few examples collected. In contrast, Malay partial reduplication is productive and utilized to create new words, especially words borrowed from English (Ahmad 2005). Keywords: Reduplication, affixation, Palembang/Musi, morphosemantics ISO 639-3 codes: mui 1 Introduction This paper has three purposes. The first is to document the reduplication patterns found in Palembang based on the data collected from three Palembang native speakers. Second, we aim to illustrate some shared features of Palembang reduplication with those found in other Malayic languages such as Indonesian and Malay. The third purpose is to provide a formal analysis of Palembang reduplication based on the Distributed Morphology Theory.

DESCRIPTORS *American Indian Languages; Contrastive Linguistics; Language Patterns; *Language Research; Language Variation; *Linguistic Theory; Number Systems; *Salish; *Structural Analysis (Linguistics); Uncommonly Taught Languages ABSTRACT A salient characteristic of the morpho-lexical systems of the Salish languages is the widespread use of reduplication in both derivational and inflectional functions. Salish reduplication signals such typologically common categories as "distributive/plural," "repetitive/continuative," and "diminutive," the cross-linguistically marked but typically Salish notion of "out-of-control" or more restricted categories in particular Salish languages. In addition to these functions, reduplication also plays a role in numeral systems of the Salish languages. The basic forms of several numerals appear to be reduplicated throughout the Salish family. In addition, correspondences among the various Interior Salish languages suggest the association of certain reduplicative patterns with particular "counting forms" referring to specific nominal categories. While developments in the other Salish language are frequently more idiosyncratic and complex, comparative evidence suggests that the

  • Consonant Mutation and Reduplication in Blin Singulars and Plurals
    Consonant Mutation and Reduplication in Blin Singulars and Plurals Paul D. Fallon Howard University 1. Introduction Blin1, a Central Cushitic (Agaw) language of Eritrea, displays a complex series of consonant mutations between plural and singular forms, with several unusual properties. This paper describes several such properties, focusing on consonant mutation (or apophony), especially in relation to reduplication, using Correspondence Theory (McCarthy and Prince 1995) within the overall framework of Optimality Theory, drawing on data based on both published sources (e.g. Lamberti and Tonelli 1997) and the author's fieldwork in Eritrea. This paper describes the rare interaction between mutation and reduplication, and provides additional support for Mc Laughlin's (2000) analysis of mutation as the result of featural affixation (Akinlabi 1996, Zoll 1998) to the root node of a consonant. However, unlike Mc Laughlin's analysis, where mutation was stem-initial, in Blin such mutation is stem-final. One of the more unusual properties of Blin is that for phonological purposes, it is often easier to take the plural as the underlying form, since singulars and singulatives are morphologically marked. For example, /kr/ 'stones' has a singular /kr-a/. One common mutation is the lenition of velar stops: /lk/ 'fires', /lx-a/ (sg.). The loss of continuancy also results in the loss of ejection (/ak'/ → /ax-a/ 'cave (pl./sg.)', but not labialization /kin/ → /xin-a/ 'woman (pl./sg.)', /sak’/ → /sax-a/ 'fat (n.)(pl./sg.)'. In addition, velar lenition may occur word-medially, e.g. [bkl] → [bxl-a] 'mule (pl./sg.)'. More than one mutation process may also occur within the word: /dk’l/ → /dxar-a/ 'donkey (pl./sg.)'.

  • Binarity in Prosodic Morphology and Elsewhere
    Binarity in Prosodic Morphology and Elsewhere Gloria Mellesmoen and Suzanne Urbanczyk1 University of British Columbia and University of Victoria 1 Introduction McCarthy and Prince (1986/1999: 238) ushered in the field of prosodic morphology with the following: “Consider the role of counting in grammar. How long may a count run? […] the answer is probably ‘up to two’ […]”. This is consistent with other proposals about the architecture of the grammar: there is only binary branching in morphology and syntax (Aronoff 1976; Kayne 1984). Binarity is a component of prosodic morphology as well, utilized to account for certain phenomena, such as metrical feet (Hayes 1995), and guiding some models of syllable structure (Kaye, Lowenstamm, & Vergnaud 1990). We further refine the role of binarity in phonology by proposing that all phonological representations are binary branching, as stated in (1). (1) Binarity Hypothesis: All representations are maximally binary branching. Our evidence comes from examining patterns in which the fission and fusion of segments satisfy constraints on well-formed phonological and morphological structures: multiple reduplication, haplology, coalescence, and breaking. The domain of investigation for this paper is the mapping of segments between input and output. Patterns of fission and fusion are primarily 1:2 (fission) or 2:1 (fusion). To account for instances that appear to have 1:3 or 3:1 mappings between input and output segments, we propose that this must arise from two separate 1:2 mappings (perhaps at a stem and word level). The following section outlines a range of potentially problematic 1:3 mappings related to fission of segments and INTEGRITY violations.

This article is published with open access at Springerlink.com Abstract The exposition comprises three parts. Part 1 surveys the Indo-European reduplication patterns (RPs) that have been lost in Slavic and Baltic: the languages show little or no evidence of inherited RPs in present and perfect formations, and in intensive verbs (Sect. 2.1), but some vestiges of reduplication in nouns can be identified (Sect. 2.2). Part 2 describes innovated RPs in the Slavic verb; they can be posited on the basis of scanty evidence that has survived the Late Common Slavic loss of coda obstruents. Part 3 describes Baltic innovations reflected in Lithuanian: reduplicative root formations (Sect. 4.1), several minor lexicalized RPs (Sect. 4.2.), and the para-lexical part of speech called eventives (Sect. 4.3). Their content cat- egories, types of expression, patterns of iconicity, and grammatical function are analysed and exemplified in some detail. It is suggested that formations such as these may form the natural background for the creation of new patterns of mor- phological expression including patterns of reduplication. Keywords Aspect Á Elative Á Eventive Á Iconicity Á Intensive Á Onomatopoeia 1 Introduction 1.1 Preamble Like several other Indo-European language groups, Slavic and Baltic provide examples of the diachronic development of reduplication patterns (RPs).

Introduction. The purpose of this paper is to describe two formally distinct patterns of reduplication in the Algonquian language Fox (also known as Mesquakie) which have not yet received a thorough treatment.2 Of particularinterest is the interaction between the bisyllabic type of redu- plication and inflectional morphology: material from a verb's inflectional suffixes may be copied into the reduplicative prefix, but inflectional prefixes are never copied. The structureof the paper is as follows: the remainderof this section covers some general features of Fox reduplication.Background information on Fox phonology and morphology is given in the second sec- tion.
