Sample text
Therefore it is necessary to respond to this claim before we proceed further. It so happens that if we are willing to tolerate a certain degree of duplication, the formal device of correspondence statements illustrated in (20) can be extended to cover most examples of segmental alternation triggered by affixation, particularly those which have been at the heart of SPE phonology such as trisyllabic shortening, velar softening, and spirantization. There exist, however, many phonological patterns which cannot be dealt with in terms of correspondence relations between words.
47) I fail to see how the looping in (47) is more unconstrained than the recursion in (45d). As pointed out earlier, no analysis can escape from the phenomenon of the loop in (38). As for the formal devices, whether the phenomenon of the loop should be captured in terms of representations as in (45d) or in terms of sequential modularity as in (47) is a secondary issue of detail. Another representational alternative to (39) is that of prosodic phonology in Sproat (1985) and Inkelas (1989). In this approach, prosodic nodes carry the information necessary to distinguish between the phonology of subcompounding and co-compounding.
This is not to recommend lexical phonology, but simply to point out the problems which need to be solved in future work. Evidence also seems to suggest that phonological principles need to have access to the following kinds of information on morphological construction types: morpheme, word, affix versus stem, two types of affixes, head, modifier, and complement. The question that arises is: if we develop a formalism that allows such direct reference, independently of sequential modularity or prosodic trees, do we still need sequential modularity or prosodic trees?
