Faithfulness And Identity In Prosodic Morphology, John J. Mccarthy, Alan Prince Jan 1999

Faithfulness And Identity In Prosodic Morphology, John J. Mccarthy, Alan Prince

John J. McCarthy

This article is largely based on the more extensive study McCarthy & Prince (1995), but includes significant further analysis of the typology of reduplication-phonology interactions and new discussion of the connection between base-reduplicant identity and Generalized Template Theory (McCarthy & Prince 1994), which eliminates the template as a unitary linguistic object.

Base-reduplicant Identity is accomplished through the same formal types of constraints as input-output Faithfulness, via the theory of correspondence (McCarthy & Prince 1994, 1995), which provides a general means of regulating similarity between linguistic representations. Phenomena described as over- and under-application, where base-reduplicant identity effects come in conflict with …


Reduplication With Fixed Segmentism, John J. Mccarthy, John Alderete, Jill Beckman, Laura Benua, Amalia Gnanadesikan, Suzanne Urbanczyk Jan 1999

Reduplication With Fixed Segmentism, John J. Mccarthy, John Alderete, Jill Beckman, Laura Benua, Amalia Gnanadesikan, Suzanne Urbanczyk

John J. McCarthy

Fixed segmentism is the phenomenon whereby a reduplicative morpheme contains segments that are invariant rather than copied. We investigate it within Optimality Theory, arguing that it falls into two distinct types, phonological and morphological. Phonological fixed segmentism is analyzed under the OT rubric of emergence of the unmarked. It therefore has significant connections to markedness theory, sharing properties with other domains where markedness is relevant and showing context-dependence. In contrast, morphological fixed segmentism is a kind of affixation, and so it resembles affixing morphology generally. The two types are contrasted, and claims about impossible patterns of fixed segmentism are developed.


Sympathy And Phonological Opacity, John J. Mccarthy Jan 1999

Sympathy And Phonological Opacity, John J. Mccarthy

John J. McCarthy

This paper explores the nature of phonological opacity (in the sense of Kiparsky 1971, 1973) within Optimality Theory. Previous attempts to address opacity in OT are discussed and a novel proposal, an inter-candidate faithfulness relation called 'sympathy', is offered. Specific applications of sympathy are presented and some general results are derived about counter-bleeding, counter-feeding, multi-process, and Duke-of-York opaque interactions.

Curricular Approaches To Developing Positive Interethnic Relations, Rosemary C. Henze Jan 1999

Curricular Approaches To Developing Positive Interethnic Relations, Rosemary C. Henze

Rosemary C. Henze

This article examines whether and in what ways curricular approaches can be helpful in building positive interethnic relations in a large, ethnically diverse high school. Through this case study of curricular reform, the author documents four curricular approaches teacher leaders used to explicitly address issues of race and ethnicity and explores the impact of these approaches on student learning. By tracing the process of curricular change, the case illuminates how teacher leaders and administrators created the conditions for these curricular reforms to be sustainable.

About The Leading For Diversity Research Project, Rosemary C. Henze

Rosemary C. Henze

In this introduction, the author provides the historical context and theoretical framework for the five articles contained in this special issue. All of the articles share a common origin and similar perspective, focusing on how school leaders in various roles can work to improve racial/ethnic relations in our schools, particularly when those schools serve diverse populations and have histories of tension or conflict related to race/ethnicity.

On Passive In Malagasy, Ileana Paul Dec 1998

On Passive In Malagasy, Ileana Paul

Ileana Paul

This paper examines two different passive formations in Malagasy. Although one passive appears to promote certain types of adjuncts, it is shown that these adjuncts can appear in an NP argument position. Passive in Malagasy is thus argued to uniquely promote NP arguments to subject position.

Translation: Ubersetzung, Emily Purser, Linda Paul

Emily R Purser

This volume was conceived for intermediate and advanced level students of English Studies in German universities, where translation exercises are a compulsory element of the language education programme. It is a practical language coursebook, and can be used both in class and for individual study at home. Exercises are based on a functional grammar, and each chapter deals with one particular type of text.

Andreas Schramm

a Comparison of the ROle of Aspect in native and non-native inference
generation in Narrative comprehension
 
The acquisition of English aspect, as opposed to tense, and the information provided by it on the text/discourse level have received increasing attention in recent years (Bardovi-Harlig 1997). At the same time, our understanding of native speakers’ cognitive processing of aspect during text comprehension is sketchy (Magliano & Schleich 2000). The current study compares native and non-native readers’ processing of the effect of aspect on understanding simple narratives. This comparison will allow addressing the question whether English language learners in this study make …

Millennium, Kirk W. Junker Dec 1998

Millennium, Kirk W. Junker

Kirk W Junker

Elsewhere I have argued that the future is made of words and images that we create and use in the present, and that the nature of these words is such that we project our future(s)1 from them[1]. Ultimately, we then treat those projected worlds, made of our own words and images, as being something real, or at least real enough to be considered unavoidable, and thus we read back meaning on the present based upon the unavoidable future that we have created. If one accepts this schema, then it begins to make sense not only to examine this process of …
