Multiple Correspondence in Reduplication

13 Morphosyntactic Correspondence in Bantu Reduplication

and others, the primary goal in the study of partial reduplication has been to construct a theory that insightfully captures the full range of considerations that speakers may invoke in determining how a reduplicant will relate to its base. Given that both phonology and morphology are potentially involved, this has meant two things. First, there has been an attempt to characterize the reduplica...

Integrity and Correspondence in Manam Double Reduplication

0. Introduction In this paper I argue that the nature of apparent haplology in Manam foot redupli-cation supports two claims: (1) a. Stems of the type ¡ ¢ £ ¢ £ , ending in two identical syllables, are underlyingly a shorter stem (i.e. /rago/) with lexicalized reduplication of a syllable. b. Words with multiple reduplication are analyzed with a single set of correspondence indices, so that more...

A Correspondence-theoretic Account of Fixed Segmentism Reduplication

In fixed segmentism reduplication (FSR), reduplication is accompanied by addition of an affix which partially overwrites the reduplicant (the FSR affix). Nevins (2005) claims that the correspondencetheoretic analysis of FSR proposed by Alderete et al. (1999) faces three serious problems: First, it predicts the existence of unattested FSR systems where the FSR affix is backcopied to the base. Se...

Linearizing nested and overlapping precedence in multiple reduplication

Discriminant multiple correspondence analysis

The proposed approach leads to analyzing the associations between a set of quantitative variables and several qualitative variables measured on a same set of individuals. In a decision-making context, the proposed method can be considered as a generalization of discriminant analysis to the multiple groups’ variables case. It’s described as a principal component analysis of the centres of gravit...
