This course revolves around the following question: how is morpho-syntactic information represented (and computed) in phonology? More specifically, it aims at introducing the most important proposals on how to deal with morpho-syntactic information within a theory of phonology. Each day we treat a distinct topic focusing on well-known analyses, and highlight both their strengths and weaknesses.
Day 1. SPE, Lexical Phonology: the cycle. Kiparsky (1982), Vaux (2008), Bermúdez-Otero (2011).
Day 2. The prosodic hierarchy and morphology: Libermann & Prince (1977), Selkirk (1981), McCarthy & Prince (1996).
Day 3. Doing morphology within OT: Raffelsiefen (1999), Burzio (1998), Mascarò (2007)
Day 4. GP and CVCV-phonology: Kaye (1995), Lowenstamm (1999), Scheer (2014).
Day 5. DM-inspired approaches: Lowenstamm (2014), Newell (2016), Faust (2014).
