A Lookahead Effect in Mbe Reduplication: Implications for Harmonic Serialism

Linguistic Inquiry, 2020
Various phenomena involving the interaction of reduplication and phonology have been brought to bear on evaluating parallel versus serial theories of phonology. In Base-Reduplicant (BR) Correspondence Theory ( McCarthy and Prince 1995 ), implemented in the classic parallel version of Optimality Theory (P-OT; Prince and Smolensky 1993/2004 ), the ...

Pre-syntactic impoverishment: Premature exponence in Harmonic Serialism

Word Structure
Impoverishment is a feature deletion operation that is standardly taken to require a post-syntactic approach to inflectional morphology (like, in particular, Distributed Morphology, as in Halle & Marantz 1993 ). Given that by now a lot of empirical evidence in support of such an operation has been accumulated, impoverishment can be viewed as a ...

Learning in Harmonic Serialism and the necessity of a richer base

Phonology, 2014
This paper reassesses the hypothesis that early phonotactic learning of constraint-based grammars relies on the Identity Map – i.e. it uses observed surface forms as the inputs which cause errors and drive learning via constraint reranking. We argue that this approach's success is closely tied to Optimality Theory's fully parallel grammatical ...

Shifting Interactions and Countershifting Opacity: A Note on Opacity in Harmonic Serialism

Linguistic Inquiry, 2021
This squib proposes to extend the traditional taxonomy of pairwise process interactions (which contains “feeding,” “bleeding,” “counterfeeding,” and “counterbleeding”) to include the classes “shifting” and “countershifting.” A process “shifts” another if

Phonology, 2021
In Inflectional morphology in harmonic serialism (IMHS), Gereon Müller provides proof of concept for a new theory of the morphology–phonology interface.

DIRECTIONAL HARMONIC SERIALISM

2022
This dissertation proposes a novel phonological framework, directional Harmonic Serialism, that synthesizes constraint-based, rule-based, and formal language theoretic approaches to phonology. I illustrate its advantages in the domains of feature spreading, quantity-insensitive footing, and autosegmental phonology.

Final /n/ Deletion in Ghayeni Persian: Opacity in Harmonic Serialism and Parallel Optimality Theory

, 2020
This paper explores the application and non-application of final /n/ deletion in Ghayeni Persian. In this dialect, final /n/ deletion is a productive phonological process whose application in different domains and environments is affected by several ...

Opaque Allomorph Selection in Japanese and Harmonic Serialism: A Reply to Kurisu 2012

Linguistic Inquiry, 2018
Cross-linguistically, medial consonant clusters simplify by deleting or assimilating the first consonant /VpkV/ → [VkV] ∼ [VkkV], never the second *[VpV] ∼ *[VppV] (Steriade 2001).

Debuccalization in Gulf Pidgin Arabic: OT Parallelism or Harmonic Serialism

Journal of Semitic Studies, 2022
Abstract The current study examines debuccalization in Gulf Pidgin Arabic (GPA), which targets pharyngeal fricatives, /ʕ/ and /ħ/, based on the analysis of feature geometry and Optimality Theory (henceforth OT). This study relies on data elicited from interviews with 10 GPA speakers from two linguistic backgrounds, Bengali and Malayalam.
