Prosodic Morphology in Spanish: Constraint Interaction in Word-Formation

Abstract:
of the SF´s overlaps upon the other one. In order to satisfy an
alignment condition, NWO must contain some segments with multiple
correspondents in SF, which do not have to be featurally identical.
In Jerigonza, the contiguity of SF is altered by the intrusion of
epenthetic syllables that help NWO meet a prosodic configuration where
the correspondent of every syllable in SF heads a disyllabic foot. In
truncatory morphology, SF is minimized in favor of prosodic unmarked-
ness that is reflected at the prosodic-word level but also at the foot
and syllable levels since NWO corresponds to a single binary foot
projected on minimally-marked syllables. In playful-wording, SF is
lengthened at its right edge through the introduction of an epenthetic
syllable that helps avoid a word-final main-stressed foot.

Abstract:
Prosodic Morphology in Spanish: Constraint Interaction in Word-Formation Carlos Eduardo Piñeros, Ph.D. The Ohio State University, 1998 Professor, Fernando Martnez-Gil, AdviserIn word-blending, the sequential order of morphemes is broken when one
of the SF´s overlaps upon the other one. In order to satisfy an
alignment condition, NWO must contain some segments with multiple
correspondents in SF, which do not have to be featurally identical.
In Jerigonza, the contiguity of SF is altered by the intrusion of
epenthetic syllables that help NWO meet a prosodic configuration where
the correspondent of every syllable in SF heads a disyllabic foot. In
truncatory morphology, SF is minimized in favor of prosodic unmarked-
ness that is reflected at the prosodic-word level but also at the foot
and syllable levels since NWO corresponds to a single binary foot
projected on minimally-marked syllables. In playful-wording, SF is
lengthened at its right edge through the introduction of an epenthetic
syllable that helps avoid a word-final main-stressed foot.
