Week 8 - Phonological Rules

Question 1

metathesis definition

Answer 1

re-ordering (BA–>AB)

Question 2

deduplification

Answer 2

repeating a sequence: abcd→ababcd]

Question 3

Multiple Rules

Answer 3

Given range of phon processes in a lang –> number of rules

general? applicable to any word, but only affect if context appropriate

some cases, more than one phon rule will apply to derivation of given word

Question 4

derivation

Answer 4

derivation is the result after the underlying form of the morpheme has been modified by phonological process(es)

Question 5

Rule Interaction

Answer 5

Phonological Rules INTERACT if they:

1. Affect the same segment(s) in a representation
2. One Rule affects segments that are part of the CONDITIONING CONTEXT of ANOTher rule

Question 6

TRANSPARENT rule application

Answer 6

both output AND conditioning context ALWAYS observable in SURFACE REPRESENTATION

eg. YAC shows Y before A - as prod by X–>Y/_A

Example derivations show the cumulative effect of all rules on each word, as a demonstration of the analysis. - u can SEE both YES

Question 7

NON-TRANSPARENT rule application

Answer 7

in surface representations, the FIRST RULE is NOT observed to be being FOLLOWED - LOOKS like an ABERRATION
the LATER RULE, ALTERS CONTEXT which conditions first.

ORDER of rule application = CRUCIAL

Question 8

RULE ORDERING

Answer 8

crucial in some cases.

if apply one before another, we get the wrong surface rep.
