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.

A challenge for Harmonic Serialism with Optimal Interleaving

Phonology, 2013
This paper examines two related phenomena from Catalan that pose a challenge to a proposal in McCarthy (2012) that combines Harmonic Serialism (HS) with the theory of Optimal Interleaving (OI) of Wolf (2009). The first phenomenon, found with stems ending in a sibilant, is the selection of a marked masculine allomorph only before the plural morph, also ...

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 ...

Internal Reduplication in Māori : Harmonic Serialism vs. Parallel OT

言語情報科学, 2016
Harlow (1991) によってマオリ語の畳語形成 (reduplication) は記述・一般化され、複数の畳語パターンが存在することが明らかにされた。その後Meyerhoff and Reynolds (1996)によって最適性理論に基づいた理論分析が行われたが、Harlow (1991) でパターン2 と呼ばれていた畳語パターンに関しては、他のパターンに比べ例が少ないという理由で理論分析が見送られていた。本研究ではこのパターン2 に対して、GEN とEVAL ...

Harmonizing Bibliographic Control of Serials in the Digital Age

Cataloging & Classification Quarterly, 2000
ABSTRACT Two forces acting on the bibliographic control of serials are described: the desire to harmonize international standards and practices, and the impact of electronic serials. By breaking out of traditional publishing patterns, electronic serials have called into question current cataloging rules definitions (including the very definition of ...

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 ...

An introduction to inflectional morphology in Harmonic Serialism

Abstract This introductory chapter sets out to provide a concise overview of the approach to inflectional morphology based on Harmonic Serialism (a local, derivational version of Optimality Theory) developed in Müller ( 2020 ; 2024

Itelmen subject-object agreement in Harmonic Serialism

Abstract In Itelmen, subject agreement surfaces as a prefix and object agreement in the form of a suffix. When it comes to third person direct object agreement, these particular suffixes additionally encode the features of the subject and are hence called (person) portmanteaus.

Harmonic serialism with lexical selection: evidence from Jerriais allomorphy

2016
Harmonic Serialism (HS) is a constraint based theory of phonology that has gained interest in the last ten years. As a theory of phonology, HS must be able to account for phonologically conditioned allomorphy. Currently in HS, phonologically conditioned allomorphy is analyzed in one of two ways - either using a single underlying representation in HS or
