Kimball, Geoffrey – Kansas Working Papers in Linguistics, 1989
Recent research on comparatives in the Muskogean language, Alabama, suggest similar work for Koasati, the language most closely related to Alabama. Koasati has a system parallel to that of Alabama. Although the actual morphemes used for comparative constructions in Koasati are almost identical to the ones used in Alabama, the syntax of such…

Chebanne, Andy M. – 1993
This paper examines a phenomenon in the Setswana language whereby certain affixes, when combining with the verbal base, adjust their positions and forms according to phonological rules that can be termed "imbrication." D. T. Cole, among others, made a fair attempt at a morphological identification of these realizations, but did not go…

Woolford, Ellen – 1994
This paper focuses on the long-standing problem in Bantu syntax of why some objects lose the ability to be realized as object markers (OMs) in the passive. The standard answer to this question since the work of Gary and Keenan (1977) is that the passive and object marker require the same property (e.g., a grammatical relation or a particular case)…

Steinberg, Danny D.; Krohn, Robert K. – 1973
This paper examines the validity of aspects of Chomsky and Halle's analysis of English phonology, specifically regarding rules for vowel alternation in base and derived forms. The paper describes an aural and an orthographic experiment eliciting the production of novel forms from a base form. Results showed no vowel alternation in 90 percent of…

The paper discusses lexical evidence proposed by Samuel E. Martin, including later revisions thereof by R.A. Miller, concerning a genetic relationship between Korean and Japanese, based on an examination of vowel changes in Middle Korean and Old Japanese. While the author rejects Chinese phonetic evidence as inconclusive and affirms the legitimacy…

Robinson, Kimball L. – Journal of Phonetics, 1978
Argues that generative phonology is not predictive of phonological identification, thus preventing it from achieving descriptive adequacy and limiting its value in explaining human speech perception. The assumption that the unity of the morpheme must be expressed phonologically is rejected. (Author/EJS)

Zwicky, A. M. – Journal of Linguistics, 1987
In the frameword of generalized phrase-structure grammar, possessive clitics (POSS), bound words (BWs), and phrasal affixes (PAs) are analyzed. It is argued that English POSS should be treated as an edge-located inflectional affix, since POSS is suppressed in the presence of other Z affixes (plural, other possessives). (Author/LMO)
