Cyclic and noncyclic phonological effects in a declarative grammar

  • Chapter
Yearbook of Morphology 1997

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

Abstract

A proper theory of the phonology-morphology interface must account for cyclic as well as noncyclic phonological effects. Cyclic effects are those in which a morphological subconstituent of a word is an exclusive domain for some phonological rule or constraint (Mascaró 1976, Kiparsky 1982). A disyllabic minimal size condition that some speakers of Istanbul Turkish impose on suffixed forms (Itô and Hankamer 1989, Inkelas and Orgun 1995) provides an example. The examples in (lb) show that suffixed monosyllabic forms are ungrammatical for these speakers (unsuffixed monosyllabic forms are accepted (la), as are semantically similar polysyllabic suffixed forms (2b)).1
