The theoretical status of morphologically conditioned phonology: a case study of dominance effects

  • Chapter
Yearbook of Morphology 1997

Part of the book series: Yearbook of Morphology ((YOMO))

Abstract

This paper addresses the very general topic of morphologically sensitive phonology, arguing for a theory of the phonology-morphology interface in which the phonological grammar is completely insensitive to morphological information. The interface between phonology and morphology lies in the association between phonological subgrammars (“cophonologies”) and particular morphological constructions.

I would like to thank Juliette Blevins, Geert Booij, Larry Hyman, Paul Kiparsky, Orhan Orgun, and an anonymous reviewer for very helpful discussion and suggestions in the course of preparing this paper. Some of the case studies discussed in this paper are also treated in Inkelas (1996); the present paper presents a more evolved and contextualized theoretical treatment of that, and other, material.
