Abstract

Abstract:Based on 424 firsthand data, this paper provides an in-depth investigation on Cə- reduplication in Truku, which varies between first root-consonant (C1-) and second root-consonant (C2-) copying. The variation has previously been proposed to be either phonologically governed by the presence of glottal stop or semantically governed, dependent upon whether reciprocity is denoted. This paper shows that although both proposals are plausible, they are inconsistent with the data available in previous studies as well as the firsthand data collected for this study. This paper shows instead that the variation of the copying site is both semantically and phonologically governed. Semantically, reciprocity and plurality together behave differently from other semantic functions such as purpose and simultaneously doing X. Phonologically, for semantic functions that exhibit variation between C1ə- and C2ə- reduplication, the variation is governed by the phonological features of the initial and the second consonant of the root and are driven by the competition of different forces: the force to prevent marked segments (i.e., [ʔ, ɣ, ħ]) and sequences (i.e., [jə, wə, xə, mə]) in the reduplicant and the force to achieve perfect correspondence between the reduplicant and the base, which are nicely captured by constraint interactions in Optimality Theory.

Truku中的可变复制位点-重复

摘要/ Abstract摘要:本文基于424个第一手资料，对Truku语中C / -的重复现象进行了深入的研究，这种重复在第一根辅音(C1-)和第二根辅音(C2-)之间存在差异。这种变化以前被认为是由声门顿音的存在或语义上的控制，取决于是否表示互惠。本文表明，虽然这两种建议都是合理的，但它们与以往研究的数据以及本研究收集的第一手数据不一致。相反，这篇论文表明，复制位点的变化是由语义和音系控制的。在语义学上，互惠性和多元性在一起的表现不同于其他语义功能，如目的和同时做x。在音系上，对于在C1 -和C2 -重复之间表现出变化的语义功能，这种变化是由词根的初始和第二个辅音的音系特征所控制的，并由不同力量的竞争所驱动:最优性理论中的约束相互作用很好地捕捉到了防止重复物中有标记的片段(即[qh, qh, qh])和序列(即[j]， w]， x]， m])的力，以及使重复物与碱基完美对应的力。

期刊介绍： Oceanic Linguistics is the only journal devoted exclusively to the study of the indigenous languages of the Oceanic area and parts of Southeast Asia. The thousand-odd languages within the scope of the journal are the aboriginal languages of Australia, the Papuan languages of New Guinea, and the languages of the Austronesian (or Malayo-Polynesian) family. Articles in Oceanic Linguistics cover issues of linguistic theory that pertain to languages of the area, report research on historical relations, or furnish new information about inadequately described languages.
