class="js-work-more-abstract-untruncated hidden">"Kayardild possesses one of, if not the, most exuberant systems of morphological concord known to linguists, and a phonological system which is intricately sensitive to its morphology. This dissertation provides a comprehensive description of the phonology of Kayardild, an investigation of its phonetics, its intonation, and a formal analysis of its inflectional morphology. A key component of the latter is the existence of a ‘morphomic’ level of representation intermediate between morphosyntactic features and underlying phonological forms. <br /> <br />Chapter 2 introduces the segmental inventory of Kayardild, the phonetic realisations of surface segments, and their phonotactics. Chapter 3 provides an introduction to the empirical facts of Kayardild word structure, outlining the kinds of morphs of which words are composed, their formal shapes and their combinations. Chapter 4 treats the segmental phonology of Kayardild. After a survey of the mappings between underlying and (lexical) surface forms, the primary topic is the interaction of the phonology with morphology, although major generalisations identifiable in the phonology itself are also identified and discussed. Chapter 5 examines Kayardild stress, and presents a constraint based analysis, before turning to an empirical and analytical discussion of intonation. Chapter 6, on the syntax and morphosyntax of Kayardild, is most substantial chapter of the dissertation. In association with the examination of a large corpus of new and newly collated data, mutually compatible analyses of the syntax and morphosyntactic features of Kayardild are built up and compared against less favourable alternatives. A critical review of Evans’ (1995a) analysis of similar phenomena is also provided. Chapter 7 turns to the realisational morphology — the component of the grammar which ties the morphosyntax to the phonology, by realising morphosyntactic features structures as morphomic representations, then morphomic representations as underlying phonological representations.

The segmental form of some is found to depend more on meaning and less on concurrent prosodic structure than proposed in some earlier accounts. Secondly, a Gricean model of meaning is found useful in describing meanings to a degree of both specificity and generality which captures language-internal and cross-language phenomena.

Prosody is described within current autosegment-metrical models, to which minor contributions are made regarding Australian English and Götamål Swedish. Most notably, a system for the description of actual (non-abstract) rhythm is devised which proves fruitful in identifying additional prosodic cues to meaning beyond tone and segmental form.\r\n\r\nThe meanings investigated are as follows. Pure quantity meanings (i.e., ‘some’ versus ‘none’, ‘all’, ‘most’, ‘many’) are investigated in normal prosodic contexts and in contexts of ‘otherwise unjustifiably high prominence’, where extra implicatures are generated. These are analysed in a novel manner which nevertheless remains close to earlier proposals by Horn and Levinson in the field of semantics and Gussenhoven and Ladd in intonation. Subidentificational meanings ‘there was some guy...’ are related to particular prosodic configurations cued principally by (non-abstract) rhythm. The discriminative meanings of certain and viss are compared with specificity-based characterisations in the literature which are found to be overly restrictive. They are then considered alongside prosody and the lexical meanings of some and någon to account for why in English some and certain function as stylistic variants, while this is not true of Swedish någon and viss.\r\n\r\nOutcomes of the study are as follows. Firstly, the autosegmental-metrical approach to prosody is applied successfully to spontaneous conversational data, with assistance from an augmented system for describing non-abstract rhythm. This rhythm is found to play an unexpectedly strong role in signalling meaning, and at the same time, this result calls into question the desirability of attempting to unify abstract and non-abstract rhythm: it is argued that these must be kept distinct. The segmental form of some is found to depend more on meaning and less on concurrent prosodic structure than proposed in some earlier accounts. Secondly, a Gricean model of meaning is found useful in describing meanings to a degree of both specificity and generality which captures language-internal and cross-language phenomena. Coupled with a view of meanings as meanings of signs, as opposed to ‘concepts’, a degree of explanation of the patterns observed is attained which, it is argued, would otherwise be absent.","owner":{"id":57518,"first_name":"Erich","middle_initials":"R","last_name":"Round","page_name":"ErichRound","domain_name":"surrey","created_at":"2009-07-30T05:42:32.458-07:00","display_name":"Erich

We refer the reader also to Bowern (this volume) for additional viewpoints f...","owner":{"id":57518,"first_name":"Erich","middle_initials":"R","last_name":"Round","page_name":"ErichRound","domain_name":"surrey","created_at":"2009-07-30T05:42:32.458-07:00","display_name":"Erich R Round","url":"https://surrey.academia.edu/ErichRound"},"attachments":[{"id":97825769,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/97825769/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"Where_have_all_the_sound_changes_gone_MICELI_ROUND.pdf__filename_UTF-8Where_have_all_the_sound_changes_gone_MICELI_ROUND.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/97825769/download_file","bulk_download_file_name":"Where_have_all_the_sound_changes_gone_Ex.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/97825769/Where_have_all_the_sound_changes_gone_MICELI_ROUND.pdf__filename_UTF-8Where_have_all_the_sound_changes_gone_MICELI_ROUND-libre.pdf?1674731222=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DWhere_have_all_the_sound_changes_gone_Ex.pdf\u0026Expires=1743059093\u0026Signature=g6iCoeK7vKVw~sry82~sdICfs-gq-t9auUzSX~gsq0L8shHDtbGfTYPwHTpVd96gRSpDoovo80aW-YzGpVu74ic1nWgSobf6ItHeIMCMfdfFBN8Slqcbvb4tnTlszV7TE-L3kAgEEgQ9j49JCoFPxh5bFlmJSKm-SqNIsPsH3GW38CVICCRNOlbReFR99XAJo2mTlw8sp-ah-NPLYLvxov2biQQbHTIP9NNof6S0LSEw-Nl0eb7y9Mo2opqJ7wqfNc2ntNEB8xi-3h9iAr0dk1Zo7GH0ikB5-F3QvUh5cR10-OaJQe43j~goENjfMaBkNmayLBjG0xBiubZX7nVDww__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"},{"id":97825877,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/97825877/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"Where_have_all_the_sound_changes_gone_MICELI_ROUND_4_.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/97825877/download_file","bulk_download_file_name":"Where_have_all_the_sound_changes_gone_Ex.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/97825877/Where_have_all_the_sound_changes_gone_MICELI_ROUND_4_-libre.pdf?1674731212=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DWhere_have_all_the_sound_changes_gone_Ex.pdf\u0026Expires=1743059093\u0026Signature=UtQg2rVkp29DFVoIVWZfbGoNqigU79-zZUL3stM2HIiJnSb8xam9wgOcZ~zQ40-FlyRyc1eNFfSHMoZzeRjGm0Ud2BG9bNzv5wH6iUuzoyMSKowVs6EypUzYcqbpQLgoHsPJwTBNhRQX6VC3xrSl3gCUCnHShnggjOPjCwOAVGRkp~~tvqtyJt6EFFPjUVRGSBmYdzWCWdT89zJbhxqb1Dk~hn9LNG7ppWe4YQ-RYN-ySwVaa-eMokC0qk8G4nbULEeHPfgKDAs8Jz2jgw6RwPRMZ2Wr~Ej~EoT6Siuti8C0c31kIJvJiq7EbdlZnndpWgIGFMDPvk3GNB3amJnT8g__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[{"id":15674,"name":"Linguistics","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Linguistics"},{"id":76703,"name":"Sound symbolism","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Sound_symbolism"},{"id":151207,"name":"Sound change","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Sound_change"},{"id":581925,"name":"Scarcity","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Scarcity"},{"id":588804,"name":"Viewpoints","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Viewpoints"},{"id":640662,"name":"Sound Symbolism","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Sound_Symbolism-1"}],"urls":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData }); $(this).data('initialized', true); } }); $a.trackClickSource(".js-work-strip-work-link", "profile_work_strip") }); </script> <div class="js-work-strip profile--work_container" data-work-id="95722021"><div class="profile--work_thumbnail hidden-xs"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-thumbnail" href="https://www.academia.edu/95722021/Phylogenetic_signal_in_phonotactics"><img alt="Research paper thumbnail of Phylogenetic signal in phonotactics" class="work-thumbnail" src="https://attachments.academia-assets.com/97825719/thumbnails/1.jpg" /></a></div><div class="wp-workCard wp-workCard_itemContainer"><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--title"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link text-gray-darker" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/95722021/Phylogenetic_signal_in_phonotactics">Phylogenetic signal in phonotactics</a></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span>Diachronica</span><span>, 2021</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span class="js-work-more-abstract-truncated">Phylogenetic methods have broad potential in linguistics beyond tree inference.

Consequently, a secure understanding of a variable\u0026#39;s distribution can hold a key to understanding the forces that have causally shaped it. A storied distribution in linguistics has been Zipf\u0026#39;s law, a kind of power law. In the wake of a major debate in the sciences around power-law hypotheses and the unreliability of earlier methods of evaluating them, here we re-evaluate the distributions claimed to characterize phoneme frequencies. We infer the fit of power laws and three alternative distributions to 166 Australian languages, using a maximum likelihood framework.

Serendipitously, the same synchronic facts have been analysed twice earlier without the benefit of the full diachronic backstory, and so present a retrospective case study in what diachrony offers for the analysis of rara, structures which by definition are difficult to contextualize using synchronic typology alone. I argue that since rara are so valuable for the testing of typological theories, and since diachrony may offer the only source of convincing explanation for them, it fo...","owner":{"id":57518,"first_name":"Erich","middle_initials":"R","last_name":"Round","page_name":"ErichRound","domain_name":"surrey","created_at":"2009-07-30T05:42:32.458-07:00","display_name":"Erich R Round","url":"https://surrey.academia.edu/ErichRound"},"attachments":[{"id":97825766,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/97825766/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"607c2ddac29ca80218eb65ac.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/97825766/download_file","bulk_download_file_name":"Rara_and_theory_testing_in_typology_The.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/97825766/607c2ddac29ca80218eb65ac-libre.pdf?1674731246=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DRara_and_theory_testing_in_typology_The.pdf\u0026Expires=1743059094\u0026Signature=BhgxWPhVoZ8ZYpX~rivvX0PlD3tlHjWhJ2irN2Cwa2wBOd7-Dc1uJHLM57igEKs7kNoXGJA36sXRvQCipm-ovmvOOqL8dAs7iE8tS~tcwcIapY23WiVm8FdkgA4YqCTBds76uOjH6cjzG0cnl2uxGwFt~VIgqbYD9up8tmb6ErUTHAOU~30-aiqP1dsjGIalCU-HLgYDNO0~b4NaFPaA8cCQ-WUNrtWLV0ma86twg6mKyT28P6o2oqNaIaAm-jSRxJ3neGmkj7nUQTvkBgbu~VoBiNI~2SL0HgALy86pQoQurywCSpv~UWbMVIWC3ghmXCzM1VR6-MORdRyQQr~cBw__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"},{"id":97825879,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/97825879/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"Round_2019_Rara_and_theory_testing.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/97825879/download_file","bulk_download_file_name":"Rara_and_theory_testing_in_typology_The.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/97825879/Round_2019_Rara_and_theory_testing-libre.pdf?1674731242=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DRara_and_theory_testing_in_typology_The.pdf\u0026Expires=1743059094\u0026Signature=EeSeCP3HHvEsj6ulvY--FtTHepIxt2j2HI6zLgpvjg2i9Vdih6XIIYagH-zeaYTsWSJzw7CHtAg4Vlfi4~RecJV8KWU1XU8drLA7bvOjtTpQ-Iwy6u0sN-~ELdA7JniGY4lSZ-Hzi6XPdDCbEk3RsSZKqHuig4QJBmY~Qw6xHnZXaui0Iy0CPZW4igcXOZIze6IvqwkkCgR14C5EHeD9UthTFMC1s853ODu~nVwVtdjp7ILIDu-ahHlnm79weh4nEX2QmSymy-PQUvRUv3Ygud46eAxIWYZ5CcnNxslT7~VUdKnIqzxIsB7r59wEMXHzVmzz8eaola-Qpz6E-oSK7w__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[{"id":300,"name":"Mathematics","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Mathematics"},{"id":1207,"name":"Historical Linguistics","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Historical_Linguistics"},{"id":2742,"name":"Typology","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Typology"},{"id":5570,"name":"Australian Indigenous languages","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Australian_Indigenous_languages"},{"id":15674,"name":"Linguistics","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Linguistics"},{"id":28411,"name":"Inflection","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Inflection"},{"id":31963,"name":"Morphology (Languages And Linguistics)","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Morphology_Languages_And_Linguistics_"},{"id":38910,"name":"Linguistic Typology","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Linguistic_Typology"},{"id":50796,"name":"Language contact","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Language_contact"},{"id":172811,"name":"Person marking","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Person_marking"},{"id":188908,"name":"Case Marking","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Case_Marking"},{"id":197668,"name":"Typological Rara","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Typological_Rara"},{"id":208304,"name":"Kayardild","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Kayardild"},{"id":208352,"name":"Lardil","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Lardil"},{"id":1147751,"name":"Tangkic Languages","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Tangkic_Languages"},{"id":1505533,"name":"Yukulta","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Yukulta"}],"urls":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData });

It exhibits an extremely complex pattern of ‘split argument coding’ (‘split ergativity’), which has previously been considered typologically exceptional and problematic for widely discussed universals of argument coding dating back to work by Silverstein, Comrie and Dixon in the 1970s, and framed in terms of an ‘animacy’ or ‘nominal’ hierarchy. Furthermore, the two main dialects of the language, which centre around Saibai Island and Mabuiag Island, differ in the detail of their argument coding in interesting ways. In this paper we argue that once we take into account other typologically well-attested principles concerning the effect of markedness on neutralization in the morphological coding of grammatical categories, and in particular recent proposals about the typology of number marking systems, the Kala Lagaw Ya system falls into place as resulting from the unexceptional interaction of a number of universal tendencies. On this view, the case systems of the two dialects of Kala Lagaw Ya, while complex, appear not to be typologically exceptional. This account can be taken as a case study contributing to our understanding of universals of argument coding and how they relate to forces affecting the neutralization of morphological marking. The reframing of the Kala Lagaw Ya facts then has broader implications: it reinforces the value of viewing complex patterns as the result of the interaction of simpler, more regular forces, and in so doing it also lends further empirical weight to the universals of argument coding which Kala Lagaw Ya was previously thought to violate.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="95722013"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="95722013"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 95722013; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=95722013]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=95722013]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 95722013; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='95722013']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-a9bf3a2bc8c89fa2a77156577594264ee8a0f214d74241bc0fcd3f69f8d107ac.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (false){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "-1" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=95722013]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":95722013,"title":"Universals of Split Argument Coding and Morphological Neutralization: Why Kala Lagaw Ya Is Not as Bizarre as We Thought","translated_title":"","metadata":{"abstract":"Kala Lagaw Ya is the language of the western and central islands of the Torres Strait.

The reframing of the Kala Lagaw Ya facts then has broader implications: it reinforces the value of viewing complex patterns as the result of the interaction of simpler, more regular forces, and in so doing it also lends further empirical weight to the universals of argument coding which Kala Lagaw Ya was previously thought to violate.","owner":{"id":57518,"first_name":"Erich","middle_initials":"R","last_name":"Round","page_name":"ErichRound","domain_name":"surrey","created_at":"2009-07-30T05:42:32.458-07:00","display_name":"Erich R Round","url":"https://surrey.academia.edu/ErichRound"},"attachments":[],"research_interests":[{"id":5570,"name":"Australian Indigenous languages","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Australian_Indigenous_languages"},{"id":10866,"name":"Morphology","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Morphology"},{"id":15674,"name":"Linguistics","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Linguistics"},{"id":28411,"name":"Inflection","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Inflection"},{"id":32757,"name":"Australian Languages","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Australian_Languages"},{"id":32841,"name":"Language Typology","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Language_Typology"},{"id":38910,"name":"Linguistic Typology","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Linguistic_Typology"},{"id":42888,"name":"Ergativity","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Ergativity"},{"id":60383,"name":"Language and Linguistics","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Language_and_Linguistics"},{"id":101234,"name":"Case","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Case"},{"id":144135,"name":"Linguistic universals","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Linguistic_universals"},{"id":144538,"name":"Language Universals","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Language_Universals"},{"id":188908,"name":"Case Marking","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Case_Marking"},{"id":208306,"name":"Kala Lagaw Ya","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Kala_Lagaw_Ya"},{"id":237022,"name":"Problem of Universals","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Problem_of_Universals"},{"id":279173,"name":"Australian Aboriginal Languages","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Australian_Aboriginal_Languages"},{"id":448546,"name":"Linguistics and language","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Linguistics_and_language"},{"id":605525,"name":"Australian Linguistics","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Australian_Linguistics"},{"id":1257958,"name":"Neutralization","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Neutralization"},{"id":2922956,"name":"Psychology and Cognitive Sciences","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Psychology_and_Cognitive_Sciences"}],"urls":[{"id":28407568,"url":"http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1080/07268602.2015.1023171"}]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData }); $(this).data('initialized', true); } }); $a.trackClickSource(".js-work-strip-work-link", "profile_work_strip") }); </script> <div class="js-work-strip profile--work_container" data-work-id="95722012"><div class="profile--work_thumbnail hidden-xs"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-thumbnail" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.academia.edu/95722012/Next_generation_typological_variables_From_theory_to_practice_and_back_again"><img alt="Research paper thumbnail of Next-generation typological variables: From theory to practice, and back again" class="work-thumbnail" src="https://a.academia-assets.com/images/blank-paper.jpg" /></a></div><div class="wp-workCard wp-workCard_itemContainer"><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--title">Next-generation typological variables: From theory to practice, and back again</div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span class="js-work-more-abstract-truncated">Modern, large-scale typology, with its enormous datasets and batteries of algorithms rather than ...</span><a class="js-work-more-abstract" data-broccoli-component="work_strip.more_abstract" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-more-abstract" href="javascript:;"><span> more </span><span><i class="fa fa-caret-down"></i></span></a><span class="js-work-more-abstract-untruncated hidden">Modern, large-scale typology, with its enormous datasets and batteries of algorithms rather than humans doing the comparisons, is more sensitive than ever to choices in how to code up language data.

This dissertation provides a comprehensive description of the phonology of Kayardild, an investigation of its phonetics, its intonation, and a formal analysis of its inflectional morphology. A key component of the latter is the existence of a ‘morphomic’ level of representation intermediate between morphosyntactic features and underlying phonological forms. <br /> <br />Chapter 2 introduces the segmental inventory of Kayardild, the phonetic realisations of surface segments, and their phonotactics. Chapter 3 provides an introduction to the empirical facts of Kayardild word structure, outlining the kinds of morphs of which words are composed, their formal shapes and their combinations. Chapter 4 treats the segmental phonology of Kayardild. After a survey of the mappings between underlying and (lexical) surface forms, the primary topic is the interaction of the phonology with morphology, although major generalisations identifiable in the phonology itself are also identified and discussed. Chapter 5 examines Kayardild stress, and presents a constraint based analysis, before turning to an empirical and analytical discussion of intonation. Chapter 6, on the syntax and morphosyntax of Kayardild, is most substantial chapter of the dissertation. In association with the examination of a large corpus of new and newly collated data, mutually compatible analyses of the syntax and morphosyntactic features of Kayardild are built up and compared against less favourable alternatives.

The segmental form of some is found to depend more on meaning and less on concurrent prosodic structure than proposed in some earlier accounts. Secondly, a Gricean model of meaning is found useful in describing meanings to a degree of both specificity and generality which captures language-internal and cross-language phenomena.

Prosody is described within current autosegment-metrical models, to which minor contributions are made regarding Australian English and Götamål Swedish. Most notably, a system for the description of actual (non-abstract) rhythm is devised which proves fruitful in identifying additional prosodic cues to meaning beyond tone and segmental form.\r\n\r\nThe meanings investigated are as follows. Pure quantity meanings (i.e., ‘some’ versus ‘none’, ‘all’, ‘most’, ‘many’) are investigated in normal prosodic contexts and in contexts of ‘otherwise unjustifiably high prominence’, where extra implicatures are generated. These are analysed in a novel manner which nevertheless remains close to earlier proposals by Horn and Levinson in the field of semantics and Gussenhoven and Ladd in intonation. Subidentificational meanings ‘there was some guy...’ are related to particular prosodic configurations cued principally by (non-abstract) rhythm. The discriminative meanings of certain and viss are compared with specificity-based characterisations in the literature which are found to be overly restrictive. They are then considered alongside prosody and the lexical meanings of some and någon to account for why in English some and certain function as stylistic variants, while this is not true of Swedish någon and viss.\r\n\r\nOutcomes of the study are as follows. Firstly, the autosegmental-metrical approach to prosody is applied successfully to spontaneous conversational data, with assistance from an augmented system for describing non-abstract rhythm. This rhythm is found to play an unexpectedly strong role in signalling meaning, and at the same time, this result calls into question the desirability of attempting to unify abstract and non-abstract rhythm: it is argued that these must be kept distinct. The segmental form of some is found to depend more on meaning and less on concurrent prosodic structure than proposed in some earlier accounts. Secondly, a Gricean model of meaning is found useful in describing meanings to a degree of both specificity and generality which captures language-internal and cross-language phenomena. Coupled with a view of meanings as meanings of signs, as opposed to ‘concepts’, a degree of explanation of the patterns observed is attained which, it is argued, would otherwise be absent.","owner":{"id":57518,"first_name":"Erich","middle_initials":"R","last_name":"Round","page_name":"ErichRound","domain_name":"surrey","created_at":"2009-07-30T05:42:32.458-07:00","display_name":"Erich

We refer the reader also to Bowern (this volume) for additional viewpoints f...","owner":{"id":57518,"first_name":"Erich","middle_initials":"R","last_name":"Round","page_name":"ErichRound","domain_name":"surrey","created_at":"2009-07-30T05:42:32.458-07:00","display_name":"Erich R Round","url":"https://surrey.academia.edu/ErichRound"},"attachments":[{"id":97825769,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/97825769/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"Where_have_all_the_sound_changes_gone_MICELI_ROUND.pdf__filename_UTF-8Where_have_all_the_sound_changes_gone_MICELI_ROUND.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/97825769/download_file","bulk_download_file_name":"Where_have_all_the_sound_changes_gone_Ex.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/97825769/Where_have_all_the_sound_changes_gone_MICELI_ROUND.pdf__filename_UTF-8Where_have_all_the_sound_changes_gone_MICELI_ROUND-libre.pdf?1674731222=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DWhere_have_all_the_sound_changes_gone_Ex.pdf\u0026Expires=1743059093\u0026Signature=g6iCoeK7vKVw~sry82~sdICfs-gq-t9auUzSX~gsq0L8shHDtbGfTYPwHTpVd96gRSpDoovo80aW-YzGpVu74ic1nWgSobf6ItHeIMCMfdfFBN8Slqcbvb4tnTlszV7TE-L3kAgEEgQ9j49JCoFPxh5bFlmJSKm-SqNIsPsH3GW38CVICCRNOlbReFR99XAJo2mTlw8sp-ah-NPLYLvxov2biQQbHTIP9NNof6S0LSEw-Nl0eb7y9Mo2opqJ7wqfNc2ntNEB8xi-3h9iAr0dk1Zo7GH0ikB5-F3QvUh5cR10-OaJQe43j~goENjfMaBkNmayLBjG0xBiubZX7nVDww__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"},{"id":97825877,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/97825877/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"Where_have_all_the_sound_changes_gone_MICELI_ROUND_4_.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/97825877/download_file","bulk_download_file_name":"Where_have_all_the_sound_changes_gone_Ex.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/97825877/Where_have_all_the_sound_changes_gone_MICELI_ROUND_4_-libre.pdf?1674731212=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DWhere_have_all_the_sound_changes_gone_Ex.pdf\u0026Expires=1743059093\u0026Signature=UtQg2rVkp29DFVoIVWZfbGoNqigU79-zZUL3stM2HIiJnSb8xam9wgOcZ~zQ40-FlyRyc1eNFfSHMoZzeRjGm0Ud2BG9bNzv5wH6iUuzoyMSKowVs6EypUzYcqbpQLgoHsPJwTBNhRQX6VC3xrSl3gCUCnHShnggjOPjCwOAVGRkp~~tvqtyJt6EFFPjUVRGSBmYdzWCWdT89zJbhxqb1Dk~hn9LNG7ppWe4YQ-RYN-ySwVaa-eMokC0qk8G4nbULEeHPfgKDAs8Jz2jgw6RwPRMZ2Wr~Ej~EoT6Siuti8C0c31kIJvJiq7EbdlZnndpWgIGFMDPvk3GNB3amJnT8g__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[{"id":15674,"name":"Linguistics","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Linguistics"},{"id":76703,"name":"Sound symbolism","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Sound_symbolism"},{"id":151207,"name":"Sound change","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Sound_change"},{"id":581925,"name":"Scarcity","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Scarcity"},{"id":588804,"name":"Viewpoints","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Viewpoints"},{"id":640662,"name":"Sound Symbolism","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Sound_Symbolism-1"}],"urls":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData }); $(this).data('initialized', true); } }); $a.trackClickSource(".js-work-strip-work-link", "profile_work_strip") }); </script> <div class="js-work-strip profile--work_container" data-work-id="95722021"><div class="profile--work_thumbnail hidden-xs"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-thumbnail" href="https://www.academia.edu/95722021/Phylogenetic_signal_in_phonotactics"><img alt="Research paper thumbnail of Phylogenetic signal in phonotactics" class="work-thumbnail" src="https://attachments.academia-assets.com/97825719/thumbnails/1.jpg" /></a></div><div class="wp-workCard wp-workCard_itemContainer"><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--title"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link text-gray-darker" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/95722021/Phylogenetic_signal_in_phonotactics">Phylogenetic signal in phonotactics</a></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span>Diachronica</span><span>, 2021</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span class="js-work-more-abstract-truncated">Phylogenetic methods have broad potential in linguistics beyond tree inference.

Consequently, a secure understanding of a variable\u0026#39;s distribution can hold a key to understanding the forces that have causally shaped it. A storied distribution in linguistics has been Zipf\u0026#39;s law, a kind of power law. In the wake of a major debate in the sciences around power-law hypotheses and the unreliability of earlier methods of evaluating them, here we re-evaluate the distributions claimed to characterize phoneme frequencies. We infer the fit of power laws and three alternative distributions to 166 Australian languages, using a maximum likelihood framework.

Serendipitously, the same synchronic facts have been analysed twice earlier without the benefit of the full diachronic backstory, and so present a retrospective case study in what diachrony offers for the analysis of rara, structures which by definition are difficult to contextualize using synchronic typology alone. I argue that since rara are so valuable for the testing of typological theories, and since diachrony may offer the only source of convincing explanation for them, it fo...","owner":{"id":57518,"first_name":"Erich","middle_initials":"R","last_name":"Round","page_name":"ErichRound","domain_name":"surrey","created_at":"2009-07-30T05:42:32.458-07:00","display_name":"Erich R Round","url":"https://surrey.academia.edu/ErichRound"},"attachments":[{"id":97825766,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/97825766/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"607c2ddac29ca80218eb65ac.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/97825766/download_file","bulk_download_file_name":"Rara_and_theory_testing_in_typology_The.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/97825766/607c2ddac29ca80218eb65ac-libre.pdf?1674731246=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DRara_and_theory_testing_in_typology_The.pdf\u0026Expires=1743059094\u0026Signature=BhgxWPhVoZ8ZYpX~rivvX0PlD3tlHjWhJ2irN2Cwa2wBOd7-Dc1uJHLM57igEKs7kNoXGJA36sXRvQCipm-ovmvOOqL8dAs7iE8tS~tcwcIapY23WiVm8FdkgA4YqCTBds76uOjH6cjzG0cnl2uxGwFt~VIgqbYD9up8tmb6ErUTHAOU~30-aiqP1dsjGIalCU-HLgYDNO0~b4NaFPaA8cCQ-WUNrtWLV0ma86twg6mKyT28P6o2oqNaIaAm-jSRxJ3neGmkj7nUQTvkBgbu~VoBiNI~2SL0HgALy86pQoQurywCSpv~UWbMVIWC3ghmXCzM1VR6-MORdRyQQr~cBw__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"},{"id":97825879,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/97825879/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"Round_2019_Rara_and_theory_testing.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/97825879/download_file","bulk_download_file_name":"Rara_and_theory_testing_in_typology_The.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/97825879/Round_2019_Rara_and_theory_testing-libre.pdf?1674731242=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DRara_and_theory_testing_in_typology_The.pdf\u0026Expires=1743059094\u0026Signature=EeSeCP3HHvEsj6ulvY--FtTHepIxt2j2HI6zLgpvjg2i9Vdih6XIIYagH-zeaYTsWSJzw7CHtAg4Vlfi4~RecJV8KWU1XU8drLA7bvOjtTpQ-Iwy6u0sN-~ELdA7JniGY4lSZ-Hzi6XPdDCbEk3RsSZKqHuig4QJBmY~Qw6xHnZXaui0Iy0CPZW4igcXOZIze6IvqwkkCgR14C5EHeD9UthTFMC1s853ODu~nVwVtdjp7ILIDu-ahHlnm79weh4nEX2QmSymy-PQUvRUv3Ygud46eAxIWYZ5CcnNxslT7~VUdKnIqzxIsB7r59wEMXHzVmzz8eaola-Qpz6E-oSK7w__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[{"id":300,"name":"Mathematics","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Mathematics"},{"id":1207,"name":"Historical Linguistics","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Historical_Linguistics"},{"id":2742,"name":"Typology","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Typology"},{"id":5570,"name":"Australian Indigenous languages","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Australian_Indigenous_languages"},{"id":15674,"name":"Linguistics","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Linguistics"},{"id":28411,"name":"Inflection","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Inflection"},{"id":31963,"name":"Morphology (Languages And Linguistics)","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Morphology_Languages_And_Linguistics_"},{"id":38910,"name":"Linguistic Typology","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Linguistic_Typology"},{"id":50796,"name":"Language contact","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Language_contact"},{"id":172811,"name":"Person marking","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Person_marking"},{"id":188908,"name":"Case Marking","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Case_Marking"},{"id":197668,"name":"Typological Rara","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Typological_Rara"},{"id":208304,"name":"Kayardild","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Kayardild"},{"id":208352,"name":"Lardil","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Lardil"},{"id":1147751,"name":"Tangkic Languages","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Tangkic_Languages"},{"id":1505533,"name":"Yukulta","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Yukulta"}],"urls":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData });

It exhibits an extremely complex pattern of ‘split argument coding’ (‘split ergativity’), which has previously been considered typologically exceptional and problematic for widely discussed universals of argument coding dating back to work by Silverstein, Comrie and Dixon in the 1970s, and framed in terms of an ‘animacy’ or ‘nominal’ hierarchy. Furthermore, the two main dialects of the language, which centre around Saibai Island and Mabuiag Island, differ in the detail of their argument coding in interesting ways. In this paper we argue that once we take into account other typologically well-attested principles concerning the effect of markedness on neutralization in the morphological coding of grammatical categories, and in particular recent proposals about the typology of number marking systems, the Kala Lagaw Ya system falls into place as resulting from the unexceptional interaction of a number of universal tendencies. On this view, the case systems of the two dialects of Kala Lagaw Ya, while complex, appear not to be typologically exceptional. This account can be taken as a case study contributing to our understanding of universals of argument coding and how they relate to forces affecting the neutralization of morphological marking. The reframing of the Kala Lagaw Ya facts then has broader implications: it reinforces the value of viewing complex patterns as the result of the interaction of simpler, more regular forces, and in so doing it also lends further empirical weight to the universals of argument coding which Kala Lagaw Ya was previously thought to violate.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="95722013"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="95722013"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 95722013; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=95722013]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=95722013]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 95722013; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='95722013']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-a9bf3a2bc8c89fa2a77156577594264ee8a0f214d74241bc0fcd3f69f8d107ac.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (false){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "-1" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=95722013]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":95722013,"title":"Universals of Split Argument Coding and Morphological Neutralization: Why Kala Lagaw Ya Is Not as Bizarre as We Thought","translated_title":"","metadata":{"abstract":"Kala Lagaw Ya is the language of the western and central islands of the Torres Strait.

The reframing of the Kala Lagaw Ya facts then has broader implications: it reinforces the value of viewing complex patterns as the result of the interaction of simpler, more regular forces, and in so doing it also lends further empirical weight to the universals of argument coding which Kala Lagaw Ya was previously thought to violate.","owner":{"id":57518,"first_name":"Erich","middle_initials":"R","last_name":"Round","page_name":"ErichRound","domain_name":"surrey","created_at":"2009-07-30T05:42:32.458-07:00","display_name":"Erich R Round","url":"https://surrey.academia.edu/ErichRound"},"attachments":[],"research_interests":[{"id":5570,"name":"Australian Indigenous languages","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Australian_Indigenous_languages"},{"id":10866,"name":"Morphology","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Morphology"},{"id":15674,"name":"Linguistics","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Linguistics"},{"id":28411,"name":"Inflection","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Inflection"},{"id":32757,"name":"Australian Languages","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Australian_Languages"},{"id":32841,"name":"Language Typology","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Language_Typology"},{"id":38910,"name":"Linguistic Typology","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Linguistic_Typology"},{"id":42888,"name":"Ergativity","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Ergativity"},{"id":60383,"name":"Language and Linguistics","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Language_and_Linguistics"},{"id":101234,"name":"Case","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Case"},{"id":144135,"name":"Linguistic universals","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Linguistic_universals"},{"id":144538,"name":"Language Universals","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Language_Universals"},{"id":188908,"name":"Case Marking","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Case_Marking"},{"id":208306,"name":"Kala Lagaw Ya","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Kala_Lagaw_Ya"},{"id":237022,"name":"Problem of Universals","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Problem_of_Universals"},{"id":279173,"name":"Australian Aboriginal Languages","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Australian_Aboriginal_Languages"},{"id":448546,"name":"Linguistics and language","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Linguistics_and_language"},{"id":605525,"name":"Australian Linguistics","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Australian_Linguistics"},{"id":1257958,"name":"Neutralization","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Neutralization"},{"id":2922956,"name":"Psychology and Cognitive Sciences","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Psychology_and_Cognitive_Sciences"}],"urls":[{"id":28407568,"url":"http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1080/07268602.2015.1023171"}]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData }); $(this).data('initialized', true); } }); $a.trackClickSource(".js-work-strip-work-link", "profile_work_strip") }); </script> <div class="js-work-strip profile--work_container" data-work-id="95722012"><div class="profile--work_thumbnail hidden-xs"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-thumbnail" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.academia.edu/95722012/Next_generation_typological_variables_From_theory_to_practice_and_back_again"><img alt="Research paper thumbnail of Next-generation typological variables: From theory to practice, and back again" class="work-thumbnail" src="https://a.academia-assets.com/images/blank-paper.jpg" /></a></div><div class="wp-workCard wp-workCard_itemContainer"><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--title">Next-generation typological variables: From theory to practice, and back again</div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span class="js-work-more-abstract-truncated">Modern, large-scale typology, with its enormous datasets and batteries of algorithms rather than ...</span><a class="js-work-more-abstract" data-broccoli-component="work_strip.more_abstract" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-more-abstract" href="javascript:;"><span> more </span><span><i class="fa fa-caret-down"></i></span></a><span class="js-work-more-abstract-untruncated hidden">Modern, large-scale typology, with its enormous datasets and batteries of algorithms rather than humans doing the comparisons, is more sensitive than ever to choices in how to code up language data.

The method is motivated with respect to the relationship between acoustic and articulatory phonetics and, through subsequent evaluation, is argued to correspond well to articulation. It is then applied to the phonemic stops of casual speech in Gurindji (Pama-Nyungan, Australia) to investigate the nature of their articulatory targets. The degree of stop lenition is found to vary widely. Contrary to expectations, no evidence is found of a positive effect on lenition due to word-medial (relative to word-initial) position, beyond that attributable to duration; nor do non-coronals lenite more than their apical counterparts, which freely lenite along a continuum towards taps. No significant effect is found of preceding or following vocalic environment.

Thus, we demonstrate an important path towards power-intensive, modern methods.","owner":{"id":4824832,"first_name":"Jayden","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Macklin-Cordes","page_name":"JaydenMacklinCordes","domain_name":"newcastle-au","created_at":"2013-07-12T13:57:07.381-07:00","display_name":"Jayden Macklin-Cordes","url":"https://newcastle-au.academia.edu/JaydenMacklinCordes"},"attachments":[{"id":42563801,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/42563801/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"LSA_PhyloPhono_poster_2015_v3.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/42563801/download_file","bulk_download_file_name":"High_Definition_Phonotactic_Data_Contain.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/42563801/LSA_PhyloPhono_poster_2015_v3.pdf?1738292332=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DHigh_Definition_Phonotactic_Data_Contain.pdf\u0026Expires=1743059094\u0026Signature=HU6qarnSS23quekCX-ktik8EuzFpPgK6nqMu0LHIbH77tYq7QtkvL9Q-jN9WMOLhhFr9lcYL3fH0uQDVsAJzw2NpbuOpVY9UZd49sEAuU9MWHooNKyeqkBnJfyNBcdnOu7LnfUtehw1ZP9CJ2bIW4vkQynb0wUmnhLqxu04gGP37-OOEKhOmUCEPWlbcAZpHlmmVD7ctTln6Fu~BH3oqXQj6RIcnwsCIPh~f4qByY0NAZyD65IXt9wrG07IrWPzMIhwxXaWN-mjVwAnvgelKRNi-x-TWG9hHL~Y1X8dfXkIdTsZG9ASS1~DhYCPVjNQ47edUl6zGyR83VTmxFw0kDQ__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[{"id":1207,"name":"Historical Linguistics","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Historical_Linguistics"},{"id":1239,"name":"Phonology","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Phonology"},{"id":4207,"name":"Phylogenetics","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Phylogenetics"},{"id":5570,"name":"Australian Indigenous languages","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Australian_Indigenous_languages"},{"id":28384,"name":"Phylogeny/phylogenetics","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Phylogeny_phylogenetics"},{"id":73860,"name":"Phonotactics","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Phonotactics"}],"urls":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData });

This process is critical and meta-theoretical and thus not easy, but the payoff is high, as it leads to significantly larger, higher quality datasets and all that the benefits they bring.","owner":{"id":57518,"first_name":"Erich","middle_initials":"R","last_name":"Round","page_name":"ErichRound","domain_name":"surrey","created_at":"2009-07-30T05:42:32.458-07:00","display_name":"Erich R Round","url":"https://surrey.academia.edu/ErichRound"},"attachments":[{"id":39493208,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/39493208/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"More_and_Better_Characters_Round_2015.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/39493208/download_file","bulk_download_file_name":"More_and_better_characters_The_next_big.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/39493208/More_and_Better_Characters_Round_2015-libre.pdf?1446036982=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DMore_and_better_characters_The_next_big.pdf\u0026Expires=1742990320\u0026Signature=LY0W5rOngtS1YZRYa39y75JrQuN-jXhEAo83eSXZJ0C6vqDxP4UBY-yVgSoPn3LBElhUWfqvwAJ6vnAVOFusISnhPQqTDdhI2jbUzxgCm~~CjfWzFBLD3AugcC~nHRHdN4l5xElZoiLq~Yd3WlWMxAUb1Yp7~k9Trmd2H5pHb00yLGmPfiJp7TXMjRkfBljpljnDqebRvV4XvfjNVxC5dKNJ6P5sKOYicc-WtAQoZWQYU94cPXN3Bl7q5HuQgbR36Haw3AdnOO1aXpcFiJbaMgRhc-t-BJX-l7Fo~csKChhvex18Mu~RW8U2JVCJNYziaClSE-FS5mRcUaExh7o6qg__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[{"id":1200,"name":"Languages and Linguistics","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Languages_and_Linguistics"},{"id":1207,"name":"Historical Linguistics","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Historical_Linguistics"},{"id":1239,"name":"Phonology","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Phonology"},{"id":18831,"name":"Linguistic Theory","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Linguistic_Theory"},{"id":29789,"name":"Computational linguistic phylogenetics","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Computational_linguistic_phylogenetics"},{"id":38910,"name":"Linguistic Typology","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Linguistic_Typology"},{"id":207801,"name":"Canonical Typology","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Canonical_Typology"}],"urls":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData }); $(this).data('initialized', true); } }); $a.trackClickSource(".js-work-strip-work-link", "profile_work_strip") }); </script> <div class="js-work-strip profile--work_container" data-work-id="10028729"><div class="profile--work_thumbnail hidden-xs"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-thumbnail" href="https://www.academia.edu/10028729/Yidiny_final_deletion_is_not_conditioned_by_morpheme_boundaries"><img alt="Research paper thumbnail of Yidiny final deletion is not conditioned by morpheme boundaries" class="work-thumbnail" src="https://attachments.academia-assets.com/36160979/thumbnails/1.jpg" /></a></div><div class="wp-workCard wp-workCard_itemContainer"><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--title"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link text-gray-darker" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/10028729/Yidiny_final_deletion_is_not_conditioned_by_morpheme_boundaries">Yidiny final deletion is not conditioned by morpheme boundaries</a></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span class="js-work-more-abstract-truncated">Since it was first described in extensive detail by R.M.W.Dixon (1977a,b), the phonology of Yidin...</span><a class="js-work-more-abstract" data-broccoli-component="work_strip.more_abstract" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-more-abstract" href="javascript:;"><span> more </span><span><i class="fa fa-caret-down"></i></span></a><span class="js-work-more-abstract-untruncated hidden">Since it was first described in extensive detail by R.M.W.Dixon (1977a,b), the phonology of Yidiny (Paman, Queensland Australia) has featured prominently in key debates within theoretical phonology.

Thus we see increasing theoretical emphasis on the need for variables which robustly compare like with like (Haspelmath 2010, et seq.); which typologize language facts, not quirks of descriptive traditions (Hyman 2014); which decompose traditional variables into their finer-grained constituent notions (Bickel 2010, Corbett 2005, et seq.); and which attend closely to the logical relationships between those constituents (Round 2013). But how does this theory translate into the nitty-gritty work of actually building such variables? We offer a view from the coalface, as a complement to these more theoretical lines of thought, as we attempt to modernize, decompose and scrutinize one traditional typological variable: the presence or absence in a language of phonemic pre-nasalised stops. Our findings help to assess the practicality of some recent, theoretically-motivated proposals, and to nuance the theory itself.<br />The presence or absence of pre-nasalised stops, as a typological variable, has figured in several recent, large-scale typological studies (Dunn et al. 2005, Reesink et al. 2009, Donohue et al. 2013), however preliminary investigation (Round 2013) suggested that the variable performed poorly at comparing like languages with like. In response, we set about to develop a finer-grained set of ‘micro-variables’, which should encode richer information and perform better at comparing like with like. We coded them for 280 Australian and Papua New Guinean doculects (i.e., descriptions of language varieties; Cysouw & Good 2013), and along the way paid particular attention to the challenges we encountered.<br />A first finding is that, as a process which researchers undertake, the decomposition of typo-logical variables is iterative. The aim of decomposing a macro-variable is to tease apart some of the linguistic properties which it conflates, and which would lead to false comparisons of unlike with unlike. Our experience shows that in reality, it is likely that after a given round of decomposition, there will be further conflations that emerge and require addressing. To take an example, after we had created separate micro-variables which interrogate the structure of consonant clusters in word initial/medial/final position, we noted that these still conflate languages in which certain clusters are rare and those in which they are common. Accordingly, it would be wrong to view the building of micro-variables as a ‘fell-swoop’ process, or one which replaces ‘imperfect variables’ with ‘perfect variables’. Rather, it is a process for improv¬ing dataset design in an iterative fashion. <br />A second finding is that the logical dependencies between variables, including those which can be problematic for the ‘big data’ statistics coming into currency, may also be iterative, or tree-like in nature.

In contrast, the fact that their diachronic sound patterns are equally if not more atypical has received little attention. We delineate the nature of the problem posed by sound change in Australian languages, and identify promising directions for the elucidation, and explanation of this uncommon state of affairs.  <br /> <br />THE POVERTY OF AUSTRALIAN SOUND CHANGE  In the comparative method, demonstrations of cognacy play a central role. A convincing demonstration requires regular correspondences, of which a significant number involve non-identical sounds. Non-identical sounds are necessary, since correspondences that are merely identical could result not only from shared descent, but from heavy borrowing. Potential cognates in Australian languages display a degree of phonological similarity which, to our knowledge, is simply not encountered in language families in other parts of the world. Potential cognates are often near-identical, and furthermore there is little recurrence of correspondences, as the number of cognate sets is only around 200. Given its atypicality, is not surprising that current theory provides few answers as to what to do with such data. Yet while most historical linguists will never face the problem of having an overwhelming majority of their sound correspondences being near identical, in the Australian case it is an issue which demands some kind of response, and presents both a puzzle and a challenge for theories of sound change. <br /> <br />THE POVERTY OF AUSTRALIAN PHONOLOGICAL DIVERSITY  What, then, are the tools we have to work with?  Synchronically, Australian languages display uniformity in static properties of their phonological systems – phonemic inventories, phonotactic constraints, morpheme structure conditions, and metrical systems. A point worth noting however, is that these metrics ignore the question of dynamic (morphophonological) alternations. Since the synchronic morphophonological alternations in any language typically have sound change antecedents, one might hypothesize that on a continent of absent sound changes, morphophonology should likewise be impoverished. In fact though, this is not the case. <br /> <br />THE POVERTY OF DIVERSITY RECONSIDERED  Results emerging from Round’s large survey of Australian languages’ morphophonology may provide new insight into Australian phonological diachrony and synchrony. If synchronic deletion and lenition processes reflect diachrony in at least most cases, then one effect of Australian sound changes is a tendency to preserve the typical Australian phonemic inventory and phonotactic patterns. Additionally, these new findings may shed light on the lack of observed changes in Pama-Nyungan roots. Butcher (2006) argues that post-tonic consonants in Australian languages occupy prosodically ‘strong’ positions.

A convincing demonstration requires regular correspondences, of which a significant number involve non-identical sounds. Non-identical sounds are necessary, since correspondences that are merely identical could result not only from shared descent, but from heavy borrowing. Potential cognates in Australian languages display a degree of phonological similarity which, to our knowledge, is simply not encountered in language families in other parts of the world. Potential cognates are often near-identical, and furthermore there is little recurrence of correspondences, as the number of cognate sets is only around 200. Given its atypicality, is not surprising that current theory provides few answers as to what to do with such data. Yet while most historical linguists will never face the problem of having an overwhelming majority of their sound correspondences being near identical, in the Australian case it is an issue which demands some kind of response, and presents both a puzzle and a challenge for theories of sound change. \r\n\r\nTHE POVERTY OF AUSTRALIAN PHONOLOGICAL DIVERSITY What, then, are the tools we have to work with?

Dixon’s (1977, 1990) original analysis of the system places alternating stress on odd-numbered syllables by default, as in (1a). However, stress is attracted to long vowels (1b), which will cause other, alternating stresses to shift also (1c). Words with an odd number of syllables undergo penultimate lengthening, which in turn shifts stress onto even-numbered syllables (1d). Addition of a monsyllabic suffix (1e) changes the syllable count, with concomitant stress and length adjustments. <br /> <br />(1) a. yábulám-gu ‘lawyer cane-PURPOSIVE’ <br /> b. durgú: ‘mopoke owl(ABSOLUTIVE)’ <br /> c. yadyí:-ri-ŋá-l ‘walk about-GOING-TRANSITIVIZER-PRESENT’ <br /> d. gudá:ga ‘dog(ABSOLUTIVE)’ <br /> e. gúdagá-nggu ‘dog-ERGATIVE’ <br /> <br />Additional complexities include suffixes which induce lengthening on their base and a late truncation rule, which is subject to lexical exceptions and applies after penultimate lengthening, rendering lengthening opaque. Accounting for these synchronic phenomena is Dixon’s main concern. <br /> <br />The system has proven a stubborn outlier within typologies of stress systems (Nash 1979, Hayes 1980, 1982, 1995, Halle and Vergnaud 1987, Crowhurst and Hewitt 1995, Pruitt 2011), however with the exception of Nash (1979), analyses of Yidiny stress have relied on the printed examples in Dixon’s works and taken the marking of length and stress as given. Here, we provide a new analysis of Yidiny stress, length, and truncation, based on observations from original recordings of the last fluent speakers. <br /> <br />Firstly, these recordings suggest a different analysis of Yidiny stress. We claim that Yidiny primary stress is always located on the first syllable of the word — it does not move to long vowels. We support this with acoustic analysis of recordings made by both Dixon and others of narrative and elicited data, which show the following characteristics: <br /> <br />• long vowels often have higher intensity than short, but not always; <br />• as in many Australian languages, feet associate with an L+H* pitch accent (Round 2009); <br />• the H* typically aligns within the first syllable, as a narrow or a broad peak (cf. Bowern et al 2012); this is true even in loan words from English (e.g. jígu:lgu ‘school-DAT’; Hale archive tape 4607); <br />• however, where a stressed syllable is followed by two unstressed syllables, its associated H* may align late, for example within the next syllable. <br /> <br />Significantly, for trisyllables with a long vowel in the second syllable, the phonetics of the long vowel often match the English cues for stress, as noted elsewhere for other Australian languages (Round 2009). Yet pitch is explained by the distance between stressed syllables, and intensity by vowel length. Therefore we find no need to claim that the long vowel is stressed, or that stress is optionally fronted (Dixon 1977:5), rather primary stress is always initial. <br /> <br />This has ramifications for Dixon’s (1977) analysis of the principles for length and stress assignment, and also for the many subsequent reinterpretations of Dixon’s data. In this paper, however, since we are arguing that the original observation of weight-to-stress is incorrect, we concentrate on the empirical arguments for initial stress; leave further discussion of the implications of this analysis to future work. <br />Secondly, although previous analyses (e.g. Hayes 1999, Dixon 1977) rely on Yidiny’s trisyllabic penultimate lengthening rule being automatic, we find exceptions to it, just as there are exceptions to truncation. For example, there is no expected penultimate lengthening in words such as jarruga ‘scrub hen’, dadagal ‘bone’ or duburrji ‘full up’ (Hale 4607). Conversely, we tentatively find what may be phrasal-level penultimate lengthening in some four-syllable words, and penultimate secondary stress on words with a long final vowel (e.g. gádigàdi: ‘little things’). <br /> <br />The diachronic sources of these facts are of crucial interest (cf. Hayes 1999). We account for the contemporary lengthening facts by a simple sound change involving penultimate lengthening and truncation, a type of compensatory lengthening well known from other languages (e.g. de Chene and Anderson 1979). Exceptions include loans from neighboring languages (particularly Djabugay). Postulation of a diachronic stress shift away from the first syllable is unnecessary.  <br /> <br />In conclusion, we show the value to phonological theory of revisiting claims made before the advent of easy access to acoustic data. It is now viable in many cases to conduct independent verification of analyses, based on original recordings.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="40b09ddad661283a6063711cb2b46227" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":32139027,"asset_id":4859060,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/32139027/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="4859060"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="4859060"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 4859060; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=4859060]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=4859060]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 4859060; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='4859060']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-a9bf3a2bc8c89fa2a77156577594264ee8a0f214d74241bc0fcd3f69f8d107ac.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (true){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "40b09ddad661283a6063711cb2b46227" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=4859060]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":4859060,"title":"Yidiny stress, length, and truncation reconsidered","translated_title":"","metadata":{"abstract":"The Pama-Nyungan language Yidiny has long held an important position in the typology of stress systems.

Addition of a monsyllabic suffix (1e) changes the syllable count, with concomitant stress and length adjustments.\r\n\r\n(1)\ta.\tyábulám-gu\t‘lawyer cane-PURPOSIVE’\r\n\tb.\tdurgú:\t\t‘mopoke owl(ABSOLUTIVE)’\r\n\tc.\tyadyí:-ri-ŋá-l\t‘walk about-GOING-TRANSITIVIZER-PRESENT’\r\n\td.\tgudá:ga\t‘dog(ABSOLUTIVE)’\r\n\te.\tgúdagá-nggu\t‘dog-ERGATIVE’\r\n\r\nAdditional complexities include suffixes which induce lengthening on their base and a late truncation rule, which is subject to lexical exceptions and applies after penultimate lengthening, rendering lengthening opaque. Accounting for these synchronic phenomena is Dixon’s main concern.\r\n\r\nThe system has proven a stubborn outlier within typologies of stress systems (Nash 1979, Hayes 1980, 1982, 1995, Halle and Vergnaud 1987, Crowhurst and Hewitt 1995, Pruitt 2011), however with the exception of Nash (1979), analyses of Yidiny stress have relied on the printed examples in Dixon’s works and taken the marking of length and stress as given. Here, we provide a new analysis of Yidiny stress, length, and truncation, based on observations from original recordings of the last fluent speakers.\r\n\r\nFirstly, these recordings suggest a different analysis of Yidiny stress. We claim that Yidiny primary stress is always located on the first syllable of the word — it does not move to long vowels. We support this with acoustic analysis of recordings made by both Dixon and others of narrative and elicited data, which show the following characteristics: \r\n\r\n•\tlong vowels often have higher intensity than short, but not always; \r\n•\tas in many Australian languages, feet associate with an L+H* pitch accent (Round 2009); \r\n•\tthe H* typically aligns within the first syllable, as a narrow or a broad peak (cf. Bowern et al 2012); this is true even in loan words from English (e.g. jígu:lgu ‘school-DAT’; Hale archive tape 4607);\r\n•\thowever, where a stressed syllable is followed by two unstressed syllables, its associated H* may align late, for example within the next syllable.\r\n\r\nSignificantly, for trisyllables with a long vowel in the second syllable, the phonetics of the long vowel often match the English cues for stress, as noted elsewhere for other Australian languages (Round 2009). Yet pitch is explained by the distance between stressed syllables, and intensity by vowel length. Therefore we find no need to claim that the long vowel is stressed, or that stress is optionally fronted (Dixon 1977:5), rather primary stress is always initial. \r\n\r\nThis has ramifications for Dixon’s (1977) analysis of the principles for length and stress assignment, and also for the many subsequent reinterpretations of Dixon’s data. In this paper, however, since we are arguing that the original observation of weight-to-stress is incorrect, we concentrate on the empirical arguments for initial stress; leave further discussion of the implications of this analysis to future work.\r\nSecondly, although previous analyses (e.g. Hayes 1999, Dixon 1977) rely on Yidiny’s trisyllabic penultimate lengthening rule being automatic, we find exceptions to it, just as there are exceptions to truncation. For example, there is no expected penultimate lengthening in words such as jarruga ‘scrub hen’, dadagal ‘bone’ or duburrji ‘full up’ (Hale 4607). Conversely, we tentatively find what may be phrasal-level penultimate lengthening in some four-syllable words, and penultimate secondary stress on words with a long final vowel (e.g. gádigàdi: ‘little things’).\r\n\r\nThe diachronic sources of these facts are of crucial interest (cf. Hayes 1999). We account for the contemporary lengthening facts by a simple sound change involving penultimate lengthening and truncation, a type of compensatory lengthening well known from other languages (e.g. de Chene and Anderson 1979). Exceptions include loans from neighboring languages (particularly Djabugay). Postulation of a diachronic stress shift away from the first syllable is unnecessary. \r\n\r\nIn conclusion, we show the value to phonological theory of revisiting claims made before the advent of easy access to acoustic data. It is now viable in many cases to conduct independent verification of analyses, based on original recordings.\r\n","owner":{"id":57518,"first_name":"Erich","middle_initials":"R","last_name":"Round","page_name":"ErichRound","domain_name":"surrey","created_at":"2009-07-30T05:42:32.458-07:00","display_name":"Erich R Round","url":"https://surrey.academia.edu/ErichRound"},"attachments":[{"id":32139027,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/32139027/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"Yidiny_Poster_FINAL.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/32139027/download_file","bulk_download_file_name":"Yidiny_stress_length_and_truncation_reco.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/32139027/Yidiny_Poster_FINAL-libre.pdf?1392479055=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DYidiny_stress_length_and_truncation_reco.pdf\u0026Expires=1741751555\u0026Signature=EugxfidXC21qJP8g0Bzf1wnPStFg9BHI7z~oRQrT7CRck~SuEFWgR3mCESillhxr8tODxhpmEjw5KSU~QxdL~lUqcbI2945IF5bzNP1NWJAugiIAcs24i~X-u~QsrSmjg-L8BzUgKl5eIZEwWZu7J~9mGWT06-PbuojzmbMwaNfbEznqmSGp2q9DhVBfr-XiI0vD0LQdM1W~BFVozhsfZVCiNMEwx-ay~wHw1M3bOYPjQJFcrBfb-bLPOhtE2f~Crb386hLyQIl1UvNE8GEx0dCfB3TxIAjvfld2ulTeMJHSsTOUgdPwq~nRXGfxz8BUZyVbwzyDWzM~1fOBswcGyQ__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[{"id":1200,"name":"Languages and Linguistics","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Languages_and_Linguistics"},{"id":1207,"name":"Historical Linguistics","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Historical_Linguistics"},{"id":1239,"name":"Phonology","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Phonology"},{"id":2077,"name":"Speech Prosody","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Speech_Prosody"},{"id":2139,"name":"Phonetics","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Phonetics"},{"id":5570,"name":"Australian Indigenous languages","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Australian_Indigenous_languages"},{"id":5603,"name":"Endangered Languages","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Endangered_Languages"},{"id":9729,"name":"Stress","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Stress"},{"id":15646,"name":"Intonation","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Intonation"},{"id":15674,"name":"Linguistics","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Linguistics"},{"id":23910,"name":"Metrical Phonology","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Metrical_Phonology"},{"id":28609,"name":"Phonological Theory","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Phonological_Theory"},{"id":38910,"name":"Linguistic Typology","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Linguistic_Typology"},{"id":241873,"name":"Prosodic phonology","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Prosodic_phonology"},{"id":279173,"name":"Australian Aboriginal Languages","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Australian_Aboriginal_Languages"},{"id":348156,"name":"Phonological Typology","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Phonological_Typology"}],"urls":[{"id":1798293,"url":"http://nels44.uconn.edu/abstracts/Bowern,%20Alpher%20\u0026%20Round.pdf"}]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData });

Reduplicants are often only partial copies, and often contain unmarked segments (e.g. short vowels) in place of base segments which are more marked (e.g. long vowels). Data like (1–3) raise the questions: (i) why does the reduplicant take on a VC* shape, and (ii) why is the reduplicant an infix within the word as a whole? <br />McCarthy & Prince (1993) analyse such reduplication as driven by the placement of the reduplicant within the word: it is attracted to the left edge, but a higher-ranking constraint denies it the absolute leftmost position. Consequently, the first segment of the reduplicant is the second segment of the word, and in order that syllables all retain a CV(C*) structure, the reduplicant will begin with a vowel. Pensalfini (1998) presents an alternative analysis, driven by shape: the reduplicant is attracted to the left edge but must begin with a vowel, and consequently, in order that all syllables have an onset, it becomes an infix. Also required for this analysis, is that reduplicants copy as many contiguous consonants as possible. <br /> <br />Intriguingly, Pensalfini’s account is driven by constraints which, if ranked high enough, would push a language to undergo initial consonant loss — a process which is historically attested in many Australian languages. Thus it would be enlightening to ascertain which analysis is ultimately correct: is VC* reduplication a placement-driven phenomenon, or is it a shape-driven process which contains the seeds of initial-dropping? <br /> <br />Kuuk Thaayorre (Paman, Gaby 2006) is situated on the south-west of Cape York peninsula, not far from many languages which have undergone initial dropping. Thaayorre itself has CV(C*) syllables. It also possesses infixing VC* reduplication for most verbal stem shapes (4–5), but not for stems containing a long first vowel, whose reduplication is CV (6–7). Significant here is that in Thaayorre, underlying vowel length is always preserved in the base. However, only the initial vowel of a Thaayorre word can be long, which means that a long vowel in the base cannot afford to be shunted to the right by an infix. Consequently, the infixing reduplicant starts at the third segment in the word. This fact allows us to contrast, and thus test, the placement-driven and shape-driven analyses. The former analysis predicts that the infix will stay as far to the left as possible, as in (7a); the latter predicts it will drift rightwards if by doing so it increases its number of copied consonants, as in (7b) [note: kt̪ in (7b) would be a perfectly legal cluster]. In fact, (7a) is the attested form. <br /> <br />Kuuk Thaayorre: <br />(4) REDUP; /ŋeɻnkan / → ŋ<eɻnk RED>[eɻnkan BASE] <br />(5) REDUP; /kal/ → k<al RED>[al BASE] <br />(6) REDUP; /koːpe/ → <br />a.  [koː BASE]<ko RED>pe <br />b.* k<oːp RED>[ope BASE] <br />(7) REDUP; /ti̪ ːk/ → <br />a.

However, since the complexity of a linguistic analysis can also be due to the methods and assumptions of the analyst, when we are faced with a particularly complex analysis, it is informative for our understanding of both typology and linguistic practice to evaluate what complexity derives from the language itself, and what from the analyst's choices. We demonstrate the utility of this kind of enquiry by considering the morphophonology of Ngandi (Heath 1978). <br /> <br />Ngandi is an East Arnhem language, formerly spoken by at least five clans in the Rose River area, and one of five languages whose morphophonology was accorded a relatively complex analysis by Heath in a series of grammars written around 1980: Ngandi (1978); Ritharngu (1980); Warndarang (1980); Mara (1981) and Nunggubuyu (1984). Remaining within a rule-based paradigm, we demonstrate that some complexity is due to Heath's analytic choices and therefore can be reduced, though the language is undeniably rather complex itself. In particular, a more perspicuous analysis emerges when morphological conditioning is clearly partitioned from phonological conditioning. This is a practice which we strongly endorse when one's aim is to describe a language's morphophonology as perspicuously as possible. In addition, some complexity is reduced by reordering automatic, feature filling rules to a position late, rather than early, in the derivation, a principle which in various guises has been recognised by phonological theorists since pre-generative times. <br /> <br />Some specifics are as follows. Heath (1978) proposes (P-a) '[tense] feature filling', (Pb) 'morphologically conditioned hardening' and (P-c) 'lenition', which requires complex conditioning on (P-a) to derive a form like (1) where fG/ is underspecified for [tense]. <br /> <br />(1) /yaŋ-Garu/ –(P-a)→ yaŋ-garu –(P-b)→ yaŋ-karu –(P-c)→ yaŋ-garu <br /> <br />By noticing that (P-c) serves to re-lenite those stops hardened by (P-b) in the same environment stated in the feature-filling rule (P-a), the analysis can be simplified by eliminating (P-c) and reformulating the 'feature filling rule' (P-a), now at the end of the derivation, as in (2): <br /> <br />(2) /yan-Garu/ –(P-b)→ yaŋ-karu –(P-a)→ yaŋ-garu <br /> <br />In addition, there is no need to characterise occlusive-final prefixes as conditioning hardening rule (P-b), since they are subsumed by the environment of (P-a) which always (re-)produces lenis morpheme-initial stops anyhow. The prefixes and stems which do trigger (P-b) are idiosyncratic and thus in any account of Ngandi, they will need to be specified lexically. Accordingly, following theories such as Lexical Phonology (Kiparsky (1982), Mohanan (1986)), we accord them a separate, morphologically determined stratum in which the hardening of (P-b) would apply; in other morphological contexts this stratum does not apply, and thus the final derivation can be simplified as in (3): <br /> <br />(3) /yan-Garu/ -(P-a)→ yaŋ-garu <br /> <br />Beyond the specifics of Ngandi, our results underscore the value in examining languages from multiple viewpoints.

Yet how and why just one continent should be so homogeneous is not understood. I report on results emerging from the first large scale study of Australian morphophonemics, and show that the “Australian problem” does not extend to all corners of the phonology. <br /> <br />Background  <br />Existing phonological surveys of Australian languages have focused on phoneme inventories, static phonotactics and stress patterns. However, to better understand the Australian problem we require more information, preferably both synchronic and diachronic, and thus a promising domain of investigation is morphophonemic alternations: synchronic phenomena which preserve a strong signal of prior changes. <br /> <br />Data  <br />The AusPhon-Alternations database is the first large scale survey of segmental morphophonemic alternations in Australian languages. Alternations are coded in a commensurate manner, irrespective of their description in source materials as ‘allomorphy’ or ‘(morpho)phonological rules’. In order to survey information from a wide band of time depths, we will not distinguish here between productive and nonproductive alternations, but focus instead on the alternations’ content. At time of writing, 80 linguistic varieties and ca. 1,500 alternations have been coded for. <br /> <br />Emerging findings <br /> <br />NO ‘AUSTRALIAN TYPE’  In Australia, segment inventories, phonotactic constraints and stress patterns show only minor variation across the vast majority of languages and language families. In contrast, there is no comparable, widespread sharing of segmental morphophonological alternations. The following patterns do recur across languages, but the rate of incidence is low. <br /> <br />1. STOP LENITION  A pattern of sonority-conditioned stop lenition, identified in earlier research, is not uncommon: stops alternate with glides or zero, with stops appearing after occlusives, and glides appearing after continuants. <br /> <br />2. CONSONANT ASSIMILATION  Assimilation in place and manner of articulation is rare, however this can be predicted given phonotactic factors. Namely, since phonotactic constraints typically permit only few sonority sequence types and place sequence types, and since geminates are generally not permitted, what would have been place assimilation typically results in complete deletion, as for example in /ɲn/ → /nn/ → /n/. <br />  <br />3. DELETION IN V+V CLUSTERS  Vowels + vowel clusters may simplify by deleting either vowel. This includes when the V+V cluster has been created by a foregoing consonant deletion, raising questions for the standard account in Optimality Theory. <br /> <br />Conclusions/perspective  <br />The typological homogeneity of Australian language phonologies does not extend to morphophonology. Nevertheless, our observations suggest new insights into those aspects of phonology which are highly uniform: the lenition of stops to glides is inventory-preserving; and assimilation is rare except when it feeds deletion, which preserves phonotactic patterns. Though these effects are small and infrequent, in the long run they may contribute to the temporal stability of the most widespread phonological patterns."</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="e8046ef252388c616ff21dee88cdfa4d" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":31712239,"asset_id":4225867,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/31712239/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="4225867"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="4225867"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 4225867; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=4225867]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=4225867]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 4225867; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='4225867']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-a9bf3a2bc8c89fa2a77156577594264ee8a0f214d74241bc0fcd3f69f8d107ac.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (true){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "e8046ef252388c616ff21dee88cdfa4d" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=4225867]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":4225867,"title":"The phonologically exceptional continent: Alternations yield new insight","translated_title":"","metadata":{"abstract":"Australian languages are known for their very low level of phonological diversity.

Alternations are coded in a commensurate manner, irrespective of their description in source materials as ‘allomorphy’ or ‘(morpho)phonological rules’. In order to survey information from a wide band of time depths, we will not distinguish here between productive and nonproductive alternations, but focus instead on the alternations’ content. At time of writing, 80 linguistic varieties and ca. 1,500 alternations have been coded for.\r\n\r\nEmerging findings\r\n\r\nNO ‘AUSTRALIAN TYPE’ In Australia, segment inventories, phonotactic constraints and stress patterns show only minor variation across the vast majority of languages and language families.

I also offer some observations on mundane but nevertheless important details which can impact on the effectiveness of phonological/phonetic data collection.\n\nThe talk should be of interest to any phonologist in a position to offer advice to fieldworkers on the collection of phonological data – that is, to most of us.\n","owner":{"id":57518,"first_name":"Erich","middle_initials":"R","last_name":"Round","page_name":"ErichRound","domain_name":"surrey","created_at":"2009-07-30T05:42:32.458-07:00","display_name":"Erich R Round","url":"https://surrey.academia.edu/ErichRound"},"attachments":[{"id":5172063,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/5172063/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"ROUND_mfm14_talk_transcript.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/5172063/download_file","bulk_download_file_name":"The_phonologist_and_the_design_of_docume.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/5172063/ROUND_mfm14_talk_transcript-libre.pdf?1390840304=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DThe_phonologist_and_the_design_of_docume.pdf\u0026Expires=1742702700\u0026Signature=PZ1gc1QLOLuWjLK1W8fd7Za1v64aXh9yoxnDllvOayahfNXu6AxspwPc1tq6sWrv01Af~s0wuTq-MqgmeoeOev5d4lWTQ3fi9b8H4OnFeuFfq8pOuH-iLspmhuha-OA-W6I8X2e7641p9jLqgCxmBsjsJQKjVABXmIeUKV6VOJR7iH2A9gr5HAW450NqpxGGnwKzKBkVddvKfkBGJM4Y6~mXOBrD5LUQeOo1WDKMBhPoc4DCqMarluya0Rf1rakJECAsfl3FYeFE0JIuM3BucMRxCzpXND9CTBjfzEDEIH4yX5~Wu1zY5WxXFFD7hsACFHlg0rP3AjoHNkK4fVSGoQ__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[{"id":1239,"name":"Phonology","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Phonology"},{"id":5570,"name":"Australian Indigenous languages","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Australian_Indigenous_languages"},{"id":19810,"name":"Theoretical Linguistics","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Theoretical_Linguistics"},{"id":29090,"name":"Documentary Linguistics","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Documentary_Linguistics"},{"id":43707,"name":"Fieldwork","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Fieldwork"}],"urls":[{"id":112115,"url":"http://www.englang.ed.ac.uk/mfm/14mfm.html"}]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData }); $(this).data('initialized', true); } }); $a.trackClickSource(".js-work-strip-work-link", "profile_work_strip") }); </script> <div class="js-work-strip profile--work_container" data-work-id="858254"><div class="profile--work_thumbnail hidden-xs"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-thumbnail" href="https://www.academia.edu/858254/Autonomous_morphological_complexity_in_Kayardild"><img alt="Research paper thumbnail of Autonomous morphological complexity in Kayardild" class="work-thumbnail" src="https://attachments.academia-assets.com/5172060/thumbnails/1.jpg" /></a></div><div class="wp-workCard wp-workCard_itemContainer"><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--title"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link text-gray-darker" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/858254/Autonomous_morphological_complexity_in_Kayardild">Autonomous morphological complexity in Kayardild</a></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span class="js-work-more-abstract-truncated">The Australian language Kayardild (Tangkic, non-Pama-Nyungan) is particularly well known for its ...</span><a class="js-work-more-abstract" data-broccoli-component="work_strip.more_abstract" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-more-abstract" href="javascript:;"><span> more </span><span><i class="fa fa-caret-down"></i></span></a><span class="js-work-more-abstract-untruncated hidden">The Australian language Kayardild (Tangkic, non-Pama-Nyungan) is particularly well known for its affix stacking -morphosyntactic features associated with multiple syntactic nodes, and related at multiple levels of embedding, can all find realisation on a single word.

Laminal dental stops appear to become approximants, but these are diachronically short-lived and tend to change further, into laminal palatal semivowels or laterals. Apical retroflex stops occasionally become retroflex approximants but also become laminal palatal semivowels. Apical alveolar stops occasionally become apical trills. \r\n\r\nAll of these changes are motivated relatively well in terms of our current understanding of the articulation of stops in Australian languages, and all of them lead to the creation of segments which are already found in almost every Australian language — they are thus ‘stable’ in terms of their systemic effects. Nevertheless, there are other patterns of change attested in Australia which notionally would also be motivated, yet which are rare or localised to particular regions. Implications of these observations are discussed.\r\n\"","owner":{"id":57518,"first_name":"Erich","middle_initials":"R","last_name":"Round","page_name":"ErichRound","domain_name":"surrey","created_at":"2009-07-30T05:42:32.458-07:00","display_name":"Erich R Round","url":"https://surrey.academia.edu/ErichRound"},"attachments":[{"id":31513733,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/31513733/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"SST_Aus_Lenition.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/31513733/download_file","bulk_download_file_name":"Widespread_patterns_of_lenition_in_Austr.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/31513733/SST_Aus_Lenition-libre.pdf?1392263149=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DWidespread_patterns_of_lenition_in_Austr.pdf\u0026Expires=1743059094\u0026Signature=AebRbRZSRz0k-iEnz0SP7eMRXtceCTDw7nlGAoqt8KWae54aAz1SwXRy70VQSrkFh7F5d6I8ThMac3kAfR0PGfA-9bnfvIg3PWBF7qg8eN6dG9Zlax3Jc9-KEDPw-P1UMj8ahlEuvSBQlI-jdEnkUaixzJz4pXPogdNBw7V1THbsXvOdecZNAq7UQwNQsC4zCvIvooU2Gv6G2QIXnHsyyJB-G8SvWm2rBgWTzRXbTm66Hovvlzgtw10D-IXFjRNqoJG4aZPoC6RXWGcqA9mPY7nQ0mD7ytvl1GMW3yK-jHRuhPFuy7wgm5g1RUaBWfhFF9HjSSGxSOPJUcpVxynxig__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[{"id":1207,"name":"Historical Linguistics","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Historical_Linguistics"},{"id":1239,"name":"Phonology","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Phonology"},{"id":2139,"name":"Phonetics","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Phonetics"},{"id":2742,"name":"Typology","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Typology"},{"id":5570,"name":"Australian Indigenous languages","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Australian_Indigenous_languages"},{"id":38910,"name":"Linguistic Typology","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Linguistic_Typology"},{"id":86215,"name":"Diachronic Phonology","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Diachronic_Phonology"},{"id":144538,"name":"Language Universals","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Language_Universals"},{"id":209097,"name":"Lenition","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Lenition"}],"urls":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData });

This paper clarifies the abstract properties of Round’s analysis and asks if and how it differs from some other architectures of morphological complexity. <br />Round’s analysis builds on Aronoff’s MORPHOME concept: a morphome is a category which figures systematically in the organization of a language’s morphology but is not isomorphic with any morphosyntactic, semantic or phonological category. Aronoff in fact discusses two kinds of morphome. The first kind classifies lexemes according to their patterns of inflection, e.g. classifying together lexemes of an inflectional class. This kind of category could be termed a RHIZOMORPHOME (ρM), literally ‘a morphome for roots’ following Stump’s (2002) argument that inflectional classes are actually properties of roots. The second kind of morphome classifies word forms according to their parts, e.g. classifying together the inflected and derived words of Latin which contain a ‘third root’ element. We may call this kind a MEROMORPHOME (µM), literally ‘a morphome for pieces’.<br />The morphomes of Round’s analysis are µM’s. Abstractly, a lexeme index L plus a partially ordered morphosytactic feature set σ map onto a stem S plus a partially ordered set of µM’s, which then map onto an underlying phonological form φ. The phonological form φ is composed of phono¬logical modifications P of a phonological stem π. This is shown in (1) where I use the operator ‘◦’ to generalise over various possible ways of applying P1...Pi to π. This enables (1) to pertain without loss of generality to both ordered-rule and constraint-based optimization models of morphophonology.<br />In Round’s notation, elements in morphomic representations such as (2a,b) map onto concatenative morphs as in (2c,d) and so it may appear that the model is inherently concat¬enative. However, once the architecture is re-expressed in the generalized manner of (1) it should be clear that the operations P could equally be non-concatenative. To generalize further, in (3) I make use of the operator ‘◦’ also in the morphomic representation. This underscores the fact that the morphomic representation is no more than a set of elements {µM1...µMk, S} related in a manner which is (potentially) transitive and asymmetrical. What then if anything is distinctive about Round’s (2009) architecture? Two central properties are the following.<br />The first is that the µM units in (3) are not atomic but are decomposed into matrices of features that capture further generalizations. In theoretic terms this elaborates Aronoff’s concept of a mero-morphome. Note it has already been proposed in network morphology that rhizomorphomic inflection classes are related via inheritance trees; feature matrices are somewhat more powerful.<br />The second is that individual units µM appear in various mappings in order to capture full or partial identities of form. By figuring in the morphomic representation of multiple cells of a paradigm (e.g., L,σ and L,τ where σ≠τ) they can capture syncretism. When appearing in cells of different lexemes’ paradigms (e.g., Li,σ and Lj,τ where i≠j) they can capture identities in the inflectional forms of e.g. nouns and verbs. When appearing in the expansion of stems as in (4) they can capture identities between inflectional and derivational morphology. They are thus more powerful than formalisms which are defined so as to express identities solely with one paradigm, or solely within the various paradigms of one lexeme.<br />A task for future research is to ascertain to what extent this additional architectural power is warranted, and in which other empirical or theoretical domains it can usefully be applied.<br />(1) L,σ → S, ⟨µM1,µM2>µM3...>...µMk⟩ → P1◦P2◦P3◦...◦Pi◦π = φ<br />(2) a.

This paper clarifies the abstract properties of Round’s analysis and asks if and how it differs from some other architectures of morphological complexity. \nRound’s analysis builds on Aronoff’s MORPHOME concept: a morphome is a category which figures systematically in the organization of a language’s morphology but is not isomorphic with any morphosyntactic, semantic or phonological category. Aronoff in fact discusses two kinds of morphome. The first kind classifies lexemes according to their patterns of inflection, e.g. classifying together lexemes of an inflectional class. This kind of category could be termed a RHIZOMORPHOME (ρM), literally ‘a morphome for roots’ following Stump’s (2002) argument that inflectional classes are actually properties of roots. The second kind of morphome classifies word forms according to their parts, e.g. classifying together the inflected and derived words of Latin which contain a ‘third root’ element. We may call this kind a MEROMORPHOME (µM), literally ‘a morphome for pieces’.\nThe morphomes of Round’s analysis are µM’s. Abstractly, a lexeme index L plus a partially ordered morphosytactic feature set σ map onto a stem S plus a partially ordered set of µM’s, which then map onto an underlying phonological form φ. The phonological form φ is composed of phono¬logical modifications P of a phonological stem π. This is shown in (1) where I use the operator ‘◦’ to generalise over various possible ways of applying P1...Pi to π. This enables (1) to pertain without loss of generality to both ordered-rule and constraint-based optimization models of morphophonology.\nIn Round’s notation, elements in morphomic representations such as (2a,b) map onto concatenative morphs as in (2c,d) and so it may appear that the model is inherently concat¬enative. However, once the architecture is re-expressed in the generalized manner of (1) it should be clear that the operations P could equally be non-concatenative. To generalize further, in (3) I make use of the operator ‘◦’ also in the morphomic representation. This underscores the fact that the morphomic representation is no more than a set of elements {µM1...µMk, S} related in a manner which is (potentially) transitive and asymmetrical. What then if anything is distinctive about Round’s (2009) architecture? Two central properties are the following.\nThe first is that the µM units in (3) are not atomic but are decomposed into matrices of features that capture further generalizations. In theoretic terms this elaborates Aronoff’s concept of a mero-morphome. Note it has already been proposed in network morphology that rhizomorphomic inflection classes are related via inheritance trees; feature matrices are somewhat more powerful.\nThe second is that individual units µM appear in various mappings in order to capture full or partial identities of form. By figuring in the morphomic representation of multiple cells of a paradigm (e.g., L,σ and L,τ where σ≠τ) they can capture syncretism. When appearing in cells of different lexemes’ paradigms (e.g., Li,σ and Lj,τ where i≠j) they can capture identities in the inflectional forms of e.g. nouns and verbs. When appearing in the expansion of stems as in (4) they can capture identities between inflectional and derivational morphology. They are thus more powerful than formalisms which are defined so as to express identities solely with one paradigm, or solely within the various paradigms of one lexeme.\nA task for future research is to ascertain to what extent this additional architectural power is warranted, and in which other empirical or theoretical domains it can usefully be applied.\n(1)\tL,σ\t→\tS, ⟨µM1,µM2\u003eµM3...\u003e...µMk⟩ → P1◦P2◦P3◦...◦Pi◦π = φ\n(2)\ta.\tS-µPROP-µOBL\t →\tc. /π-kuɻu-in̪t̪a/\n\tb.\tS-µPROP-µLOC\t →\td. /π-kuɻu-ki/\n(3)\tL,σ\t→\tµM1◦µM2◦µM3◦...◦µMk◦S → P1◦P2◦P3◦...◦Pi◦π = φ\n(4)\tS\t→\tR-µMi-µMj, for root R.\nAronoff, M. 1994.

Now it is time to integrate these systems into a fuller typology of nominal classification, taking in classifier systems as well as gender. Rethinking in this way leads us to take apart characteristics usually lumped together as defining gender, and those defining traditional classifiers. We then see that these characteristics combine in many ways. A canonical perspective proves helpful: we define the notion of canonical gender, and use this idealization as a baseline from which to calibrate the rich variety we find. It is then possible to approach the origin and nature of gender. Here Oceanic languages can provide a unique insight. Typically, a noun can occur with different possessive classifiers, depending on how the possessed item is used by the possessor: ‘my water (to drink)’ vs ‘my water (for something else)’. But in marked contrast, languages like North Ambrym (Vanuatu) typically have particular nouns occurring with one given classifier: water is just drinkable (Franjieh 2016). North Ambrym’s innovative system resembles a gender system: a noun takes a particular classifier regardless. We want to establish empirically whether gender systems can indeed emerge from possessive classifiers in this way. We must also uncover how and why languages would relinquish a useful, meaningful classificatory system, and move to a more rigid gender system. To this end we are running novel experiments to compare possessive classifier systems in six Oceanic languages of Vanuatu and New Caledonia, each with a different inventory size of classifiers — from two to twenty-three.

We draw upon previous iterations of linguistic ‘reconstitution’ (Broadbent 1957; Dench 1999; Browne 2016) which themselves have drawn upon the historical-comparative method in order to transform the language data into a modern (i.e. phonemic) format, useable by linguists and language workers. \nThis paper aims to further refine the comparative reconsitution methodology by incorporating computer-assisted cognate alignment. This alignment takes identified orthographic ‘cognates’ as input and derives aligned correspondences. We tested our methodology on a collection of sources by linguistically-naïve English speakers recording Bunganditj (Pama-Nyungan, Australia: Blake 2003). Incorporating computational assistance dramatically reduces the duration of the reconstitution project, making it more suitable for revitalisation projects, while also increasing the accuracy of the results. \n","owner":{"id":6122336,"first_name":"Mitchell","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Browne","page_name":"MitchellBrowne","domain_name":"mq","created_at":"2013-10-13T18:36:06.786-07:00","display_name":"Mitchell Browne","url":"https://mq.academia.edu/MitchellBrowne"},"attachments":[{"id":63438169,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/63438169/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"Comparative_Reconstitution_-Final20200526-65960-1oz1335.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/63438169/download_file","bulk_download_file_name":"Comparative_Reconstitution_Using_and_aut.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/63438169/Comparative_Reconstitution_-Final20200526-65960-1oz1335-libre.pdf?1590558528=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DComparative_Reconstitution_Using_and_aut.pdf\u0026Expires=1743059095\u0026Signature=CfGJCMXSec5qGFfnm-L6AcwLqqktq1EcSrP1O7jkBR5yHxZEBMUXR5x6LQQRqJl7fYodcGjGYDN0HuvIceMRRFY3Uj1j7qygAvvE1epfwP9cOtsetIg4Xc4-pr4izYVxgXzybodceBdsNc6Af2HvwsiVwbxlPgUiOJYn-oCkUU~vDAHIaHoW9ylXBaCSrZSvpbnUeRXKvkbqw69gT2~nhzxd-f-bELjK-ACQ1SKLPbmpRgmvCqnYfTFAQo15Rn5pOjbBTw46IfKHKYzYFOkH7uwxUf-W956O-78XOe9KR-OLBRn3f44UNc3KkMZgyxzBBUFH4GVlkUe5WlWpdG3jQQ__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[{"id":1188,"name":"Language revitalization","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Language_revitalization"},{"id":3268,"name":"Computational Linguistics","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Computational_Linguistics"},{"id":5570,"name":"Australian Indigenous languages","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Australian_Indigenous_languages"},{"id":15674,"name":"Linguistics","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Linguistics"},{"id":279173,"name":"Australian Aboriginal Languages","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Australian_Aboriginal_Languages"}],"urls":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData });

In order to generate reliable inferences at ever greater time depths, there is a need for typological datasets which are not only broader in coverage, but also contain a deeper store of information. We explore one avenue by extracting large numbers of high-definition phonotactic ‘traits’ per language. We show that these traits contain phylogenetic signal, thus demonstrating an important path towards high-powered methods of the near future.<br /><br />Methodology: Languages may be compared in terms of which two-segment sequences they permit. Moreover, such biphones possess distinct lexical frequencies, which can also be compared. We examined whether such data contain information about family-tree structure, i.e., phylogenetic signal. Two standard statistics are used: D [1] tests coarse-grained biphone ‘permissibility’ data; and K [2] tests higher-definition transition probabilities.<br /><br />We examined 2 subgroups of the Australian Pama-Nyungan family: 10 languages of Ngumpin-Yapa [3] and 7 of Yolngu [4], represented by phonemically-standardised lexicons from the CHIRILA database [5]. Phylogenetic signal is calculated with reference to phylogenies from C. Bowern (updated from [6]). Australian languages present a tough challenge, since phonotactically they are notoriously uniform [7–9]. Moreover, Ngumpin-Yapa has some of the world’s highest borrowing rates [10–11]. Thus we hypothesized that the coarse-grained D test would fail. The key question is whether the high-definition K test succeeds.<br /><br />Results: D attempts to reject two null hypotheses: that traits’ distributions are (A) too uniform to reveal structure present in the reference tree; and (B) random. We extracted 184 (Ngumpin-Yapa) and 164 (Yolngu) traits per language. We were surprised to reject both hypotheses for Yolngu (Stouffer’s Z>100, p=0.00): thus, even binary permissibility data revealed some phylogenetic signal. For N-Y only the second null hypothesis could be rejected (p=0.00), and further testing showed that when the subgroup’s outermost language was removed, even this failed. We conclude that binary phonotactic data contains weak phylogenetic signal at best; the Y result may represent statistical noise, and more subgroups should be tested.<br /><br />K attempts to reject one null hypothesis: that no phylogenetic signal is present. A value K=0 represents random trait distribution relative to the reference tree; K=1 represents an exact match and K>1 indicates that outermost languages are even more distinct in the test data than in the reference tree. With 451 (Ngumpin-Yapa) and 541 (Yolngu) traits per language, we reject the null hypothesis in both subgroups (Stouffer’s Z=9.87; 17.6, p=0.00). In Ngumpin-Yapa, the confidence interval for K of [0.86, 0.92] indicates a very good match with the reference phylogeny, and in Yolngu, [1.15, 1.26] indicates an even stronger sorting of languages. Further testing, which removed the outermost language from both subgroups showed the result is stable: [0.81, 0.87] for Ngumpin-Yapa and [0.96, 1.00] for Yolngu.<br /><br />Conclusion: As linguists attempt to up-scale efforts in quantitative historical linguistics, we demonstrate the significant potential of high-definition phonotactics, which permits the extraction of several hundred traits per language and has revealed phylogenetic signal in two Australian subgroups.<br /><br /><br />References:<br /><br />[1]    S.A.

Reflections of linguistic history in quantitative phonotactics. Paper presented at the Australian Linguistic Society Annual Conference, Monash University, Caulfield, Australia. 7 December 2016. Doi: https://dx.doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.4299365\n\nAbstract:\nAdvanced quantitative methods are at the cutting edge of historical linguistics, however these methods often ideally require many hundreds of data points per language. In order to generate reliable inferences at ever greater time depths, there is a need for typological datasets which are not only broader in coverage, but also contain a deeper store of information. We explore one avenue by extracting large numbers of high-definition phonotactic ‘traits’ per language. We show that these traits contain phylogenetic signal, thus demonstrating an important path towards high-powered methods of the near future.\n\nMethodology: Languages may be compared in terms of which two-segment sequences they permit. Moreover, such biphones possess distinct lexical frequencies, which can also be compared. We examined whether such data contain information about family-tree structure, i.e., phylogenetic signal. Two standard statistics are used: D [1] tests coarse-grained biphone ‘permissibility’ data; and K [2] tests higher-definition transition probabilities.\n\nWe examined 2 subgroups of the Australian Pama-Nyungan family: 10 languages of Ngumpin-Yapa [3] and 7 of Yolngu [4], represented by phonemically-standardised lexicons from the CHIRILA database [5]. Phylogenetic signal is calculated with reference to phylogenies from C. Bowern (updated from [6]). Australian languages present a tough challenge, since phonotactically they are notoriously uniform [7–9]. Moreover, Ngumpin-Yapa has some of the world’s highest borrowing rates [10–11]. Thus we hypothesized that the coarse-grained D test would fail. The key question is whether the high-definition K test succeeds.\n\nResults: D attempts to reject two null hypotheses: that traits’ distributions are (A) too uniform to reveal structure present in the reference tree; and (B) random. We extracted 184 (Ngumpin-Yapa) and 164 (Yolngu) traits per language. We were surprised to reject both hypotheses for Yolngu (Stouffer’s Z\u003e100, p=0.00): thus, even binary permissibility data revealed some phylogenetic signal. For N-Y only the second null hypothesis could be rejected (p=0.00), and further testing showed that when the subgroup’s outermost language was removed, even this failed. We conclude that binary phonotactic data contains weak phylogenetic signal at best; the Y result may represent statistical noise, and more subgroups should be tested.\n\nK attempts to reject one null hypothesis: that no phylogenetic signal is present. A value K=0 represents random trait distribution relative to the reference tree; K=1 represents an exact match and K\u003e1 indicates that outermost languages are even more distinct in the test data than in the reference tree. With 451 (Ngumpin-Yapa) and 541 (Yolngu) traits per language, we reject the null hypothesis in both subgroups (Stouffer’s Z=9.87; 17.6, p=0.00). In Ngumpin-Yapa, the confidence interval for K of [0.86, 0.92] indicates a very good match with the reference phylogeny, and in Yolngu, [1.15, 1.26] indicates an even stronger sorting of languages. Further testing, which removed the outermost language from both subgroups showed the result is stable: [0.81, 0.87] for Ngumpin-Yapa and [0.96, 1.00] for Yolngu.\n\nConclusion: As linguists attempt to up-scale efforts in quantitative historical linguistics, we demonstrate the significant potential of high-definition phonotactics, which permits the extraction of several hundred traits per language and has revealed phylogenetic signal in two Australian subgroups.\n\n\nReferences:\n\n[1] S.A.

Our focus here is on methodology.<br /><br />Background & aims:<br />Great strides have been made in preparing the lexicons of Australian languages in digitally readable and accessible form, however a notable gap so far is Cape York [2]. Bruce Sommer deposited lexical, grammatical and textual materials on some 70 language varieties of central and southern Cape York, comprising 4,950 pages of fieldnotes and summaries, and 203 audio tapes. Our aim was to key in Sommer’s handwritten and printed lexical materials, as a first step in the digital representation and eventual audio time-alignment of his invaluable archive.<br /><br />Materials:<br />Fryer Library digitised Sommer’s print materials in 2014 and tapes in 2015. We identified 1,520 pages of lexical material. These wordlists range in length from 2 entries to 2635 (mean 485, median 255). Many are numbered, following the Hale–O’Grady 100-item list.<br /><br />Methods:<br />Our work plan centred on simultaneous and collaborative data entry. Two researchers entered the same wordlist simultaneously into a Google spreadsheet, where the other’s activity is also visible. Each worker focussed on either the vernacular or English, but also provided constant checking of the other’s work, and assistance when necessary. The spreadsheet contained columns for: speaker, language, tape number, subheadings, page number, language form, notes on language form, English gloss, notes on English gloss, other text and notes on other text. Additional columns were added if wordlists become more complex: language form corrections, number, addi- tional language form columns for lists with two vernacular languages.<br /><br />Challenges:<br />1. Legibility of handwriting was a challenge. To improve accuracy, researchers examined illegible entries together to reach agreement; if needed, other wordlists were consulted, to see if a word appeared elsewhere with a similar form. In rare cases where neither of these solutions worked, a note was entered.<br />2. Sommer used many abbreviations. These were gradually deciphered as our familiarity increased.<br />3. Some pages contained extensive corrections, annotations and/or margin notes; some had multiple languages or speakers. Extra columns were added for those documents.<br />4. Most of the materials were in IPA. This was entered using a convenient set of as hoc conventions to enable fast data entry, and then transposed into IPA afterwards. Having two researchers dealing collaboratively with challenges led to rapid and effective problem solving.<br />Analysis Cape York is a notoriously complex region [3]. Cross-linguistic datasets such as Sommer’s lexicons will make possible automated analyses which can detect diffuse patterns which challenge the observational and memory limitations of human linguists. We present some initial examples, including automated phylogenetic analysis [4]; network analysis [5]; and admixture analysis [6]. These do not replace expert manual analysis, but can increase productivity by rapidly highlighting areas deserving particular attention.<br /><br />Methodological recommendations:<br />We cannot recommend strongly enough the method of collaborative data entry for this kind of data, which enables quick and effective detection and correction of data entry errors. It makes the task more collaborative, and hence enjoyable.<br /><br /><br />References:<br />[1] Sommer, B. 2003.

Our focus here is on methodology.\n\nBackground \u0026 aims:\nGreat strides have been made in preparing the lexicons of Australian languages in digitally readable and accessible form, however a notable gap so far is Cape York [2]. Bruce Sommer deposited lexical, grammatical and textual materials on some 70 language varieties of central and southern Cape York, comprising 4,950 pages of fieldnotes and summaries, and 203 audio tapes. Our aim was to key in Sommer’s handwritten and printed lexical materials, as a first step in the digital representation and eventual audio time-alignment of his invaluable archive.\n\nMaterials:\nFryer Library digitised Sommer’s print materials in 2014 and tapes in 2015. We identified 1,520 pages of lexical material. These wordlists range in length from 2 entries to 2635 (mean 485, median 255). Many are numbered, following the Hale–O’Grady 100-item list.\n\nMethods:\nOur work plan centred on simultaneous and collaborative data entry. Two researchers entered the same wordlist simultaneously into a Google spreadsheet, where the other’s activity is also visible. Each worker focussed on either the vernacular or English, but also provided constant checking of the other’s work, and assistance when necessary. The spreadsheet contained columns for: speaker, language, tape number, subheadings, page number, language form, notes on language form, English gloss, notes on English gloss, other text and notes on other text. Additional columns were added if wordlists become more complex: language form corrections, number, addi- tional language form columns for lists with two vernacular languages.\n\nChallenges:\n1. Legibility of handwriting was a challenge. To improve accuracy, researchers examined illegible entries together to reach agreement; if needed, other wordlists were consulted, to see if a word appeared elsewhere with a similar form. In rare cases where neither of these solutions worked, a note was entered.\n2. Sommer used many abbreviations. These were gradually deciphered as our familiarity increased.\n3. Some pages contained extensive corrections, annotations and/or margin notes; some had multiple languages or speakers. Extra columns were added for those documents.\n4. Most of the materials were in IPA. This was entered using a convenient set of as hoc conventions to enable fast data entry, and then transposed into IPA afterwards. Having two researchers dealing collaboratively with challenges led to rapid and effective problem solving.\nAnalysis Cape York is a notoriously complex region [3]. Cross-linguistic datasets such as Sommer’s lexicons will make possible automated analyses which can detect diffuse patterns which challenge the observational and memory limitations of human linguists. We present some initial examples, including automated phylogenetic analysis [4]; network analysis [5]; and admixture analysis [6]. These do not replace expert manual analysis, but can increase productivity by rapidly highlighting areas deserving particular attention.\n\nMethodological recommendations:\nWe cannot recommend strongly enough the method of collaborative data entry for this kind of data, which enables quick and effective detection and correction of data entry errors. It makes the task more collaborative, and hence enjoyable.\n\n\nReferences:\n[1] Sommer, B. 2003. Papers, 1964–2003 (item number UQFL476), Fryer Library, St Lucia.\n[2] Bowern, C. 2016.

This result is compatible with a scenario where certain types of parallel change are more likely to be mediated by advergence and contact between proximate speech communities, while other developments are due purely to drift and are largely independent of intercultural contact.","owner":{"id":8204279,"first_name":"Gerd","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Carling","page_name":"GerdCarling","domain_name":"uni-frankfurt","created_at":"2014-01-11T16:43:02.350-08:00","display_name":"Gerd Carling","url":"https://uni-frankfurt.academia.edu/GerdCarling"},"attachments":[{"id":56588175,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/56588175/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"Cathcart_Carling_etal_Diachronica_2018.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/56588175/download_file","bulk_download_file_name":"Areal_pressure_in_grammatical_evolution.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/56588175/Cathcart_Carling_etal_Diachronica_2018-libre.pdf?1526547883=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DAreal_pressure_in_grammatical_evolution.pdf\u0026Expires=1743059095\u0026Signature=KgwgybOv~VrVWDXVqVPMjj~3kKPajyBYTCsByyGxiSnlqP8EnHOUAYmwnFk1evbmnBq9IjAxb5AM97q54nbv6EZ8~zhvN7cQ3cy0ptc~J9cOv4HWQjJMLc4lgvKOhvSbIwAUvswQVeDdob2tmJXsFOwZHRecZkRZcoN-uk~m3yEogLpsnnZGAPa3VrW7y5ae-EFqz6yMs4qWNkIF~pLIqwgTBoNLAI~e~f4ZPm1eUdGRdut93g5vzX9rC9aI0W76s85mTLl9QMtrQaoAQPkdCvtbPDZg4qq1WmTjk7zRlO2wLDZXF~PC~vX9qqN-~0MLFKqhXBpMADfEo23FVL5h7g__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[{"id":4207,"name":"Phylogenetics","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Phylogenetics"},{"id":32522,"name":"Indo-European Linguistics","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Indo-European_Linguistics"},{"id":38910,"name":"Linguistic Typology","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Linguistic_Typology"},{"id":41239,"name":"Bayesian statistics \u0026 modelling","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Bayesian_statistics_and_modelling"}],"urls":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData });
