摘要

众所周知的后缀偏好的一个例子是,在名词复数标记中,后缀比前缀更占优势。复数也可以用(部分)重叠来表示。与词缀的向右偏误相反,重叠通常表现出向左偏误。这些相反的效果导致了对重叠复数方向性的显著预测,预计这将显示出词缀的向右偏和重叠的向左偏之间的折衷。这一预测并没有在大量具有重叠复数的语言样本中得到证实。几乎所有这些语言都把重叠词放在单词的起始位置。也就是说,重叠复数中的向左偏甚至比一般的重叠更明显。对这一惊人结果的解释围绕着几个因素的阴谋展开,这些因素使得词尾重叠复数的出现极不可能。因此,与词缀复数标记中的前缀和后缀相比,词首和词尾在重叠复数中是更不平等的竞争对手。

The directionality of reduplicative plurality
One instantiation of the well-known suffixing preference is the strong predominance of suffixes over prefixes in nominal-plural marking. Plurality may also be expressed by (partial) reduplication. In contradistinction to the rightward bias of affixes, reduplication in general exhibits a leftward bias. These opposite effects lead to a notable prediction regarding the directionality of reduplicative plurals, which are expected to show a compromise between the rightward bias of affixing and the leftward bias of reduplication. This prediction is not borne out in a sizeable sample of languages with reduplicative plurals. Almost all these languages put the reduplicant in word-initial position. That is, the leftward bias in reduplicative plurals is even more pronounced than that in reduplication generally. The explanation of this striking set of results revolves around a conspiracy of several factors which render the occurrence of word-final reduplicative plurals extremely unlikely. Thus, word-initial and word-final sites are much more unequal competitors in reduplicative plurality than prefixes and suffixes are in affixal plural marking.
