Description for Morphological Length and Prosodically Defective Morphemes
Hardback. This book examines specific sound changes that cannot be explained by phonological means alone but crucially rely on morphological information. It offers a unified theoretical account of these phenomena as well as a rich database of attested patterns in the world's languages. Series: Oxford Studies in Phonology and Phonetics. Num Pages: 384 pages. BIC Classification: CFH; CFK. Category: (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 234 x 156. .
This book investigates the phenomenon of morphological length manipulation: changes in segmental length that cannot be explained by phonological means alone but crucially rely on morphological information. Eva Zimmermann provides a unified theoretical account of these phenomena by taking into account all possible prosodically defective morpheme representations and their potential effects on the resulting surface structure. Data are drawn from a wide range of the world's languages, including Aymara, Yine, Upriver Halkomelem, Wolof, Hungarian, Tohono O'odham, and Southern Sierra Miwok, providing a through representative database of morphological length manipulation patterns in the languages of the world. The author demonstrates that ... Read more

About Eva Zimmermann
Eva Zimmermann is a Research Associate at Leipzig University as part of a German Research Foundation funded project on 'Featural Affixes: The Morphology of Phonological Features'. Her research principally examines non-concatenative morphology and its analysis in phonological theory, particularly in Native American languages, as well as verbal agreement morphology in Kiranti and Broader Algic. Her work has appeared in Lingua, ... Read more
Reviews for Morphological Length and Prosodically Defective Morphemes
The theory presented in this book deserves to become influential because it provides the most comprehensive and constrained theoretical account of subtractive morphology ... In terms of the analysis of additive prosodically defective morphemes, it is probably the most complete work on the subject, with the most extensive evidence.
