Alignment And Parallelism In Indonesian Phonology, John J. Mccarthy, Abigail Cohn
Alignment And Parallelism In Indonesian Phonology, John J. Mccarthy, Abigail Cohn
Linguistics Department Faculty Publication Series
In this paper, we present a complete account of word stress in Indonesian and the ways in which it interacts with affixation, limitations on root structure, PrWd juncture, syllabification, and reduplication, developing and extending the ideas and empirical material in Cohn (1989). Phenomena that had formerly been analyzed in terms of the phonology/morphology mapping, the cycle, (non-)iterative foot assignment, and morpheme-structure constraints are all subsumed under Generalized Alignment.
Parallelism leads to examination of Alignment-based alternatives to the cycle, in which the influence of morphology on prosodic structure is direct. Furthermore, several conditions are discussed where only a parallel analysis will …
Integrating Lexical And Formal Sematics: Genitives, Relational Nouns, And Type-Shifting, Barbara H. Partee, Vladimir Borschev
Integrating Lexical And Formal Sematics: Genitives, Relational Nouns, And Type-Shifting, Barbara H. Partee, Vladimir Borschev
Linguistics Department Faculty Publication Series
In this paper we discuss the analysis of expressions such as John’s team, John’s brother, John’s favorite movie, Mary’s favorite chair, Mary’s former mansion. Before introducing the concrete problems, we briefly describe our theoretical perspective. Our theoretical concern is the integration of formal semantics and lexical semantics, especially but not exclusively in the traditions of Montague Grammar and the Moscow School (Apresjan (1994), Mel’èuk (1982), Paducheva (1996)), respectively. We have proposed (Borschev and Partee (in press)) to modify the Moscow school approach and represent lexical information in the form of sets of meaning postulates, which may or may not exhaust …

Morpheme Structure Constraints And Paradigm Occultation, John J. Mccarthy
Morpheme Structure Constraints And Paradigm Occultation, John J. Mccarthy
John J. McCarthy
The morpheme structure constraints of classic generative phonology impose language-particular restrictions on underlying representations. It has long been known that MSCís often duplicate the functions of rules or output constraints, and so Stampe, Prince & Smolensky, and others have proposed to eliminate them. In OT, the descriptive effects of MSC’s are obtained from rankings that compel neutralization of potential underlying distinctions. One input is said to occult the other when both map onto a common output.
This paper has focused on MSC’s that prevent alternations within a paradigm. Absence of alternation is an effect of high-ranking output-output faithfulness constraints which …
