Abstract
In this chapter we will examine the various forms of templatic morphology (McCarthy 1981, Marantz 1982, McCarthy & Prince 1995) that are encountered in Nuuchahnulth. Templates are required in a number of areas of the grammar, including the numerous reduplication patterns, both with and without fixed segmentism (Alderete et al. 1999), discussed in Chapter 5, hypocoristic formation (Stonham 1991), vowel lengthening and shortening (Chapter 4), infixation (Chapter 5), and the somewhat more extralinguistic patterns of abnormal speech (Sapir 1915, Stonham 1999). We will begin with an examination of the patterns of reduplication and their treatment within templatic morphology.
