1. Evidence for feet and their internal structure • typological evidence: rhythmical grouping properties found across languages e. • templatic morphology as in reduplication, truncation etc.: assumed to correspond to metrical feet

In this paper I present a solution for two intertwined puzzles in the morphophonology of Dakota. There is an active ablaut process in Dakota; this process is lexically conditioned in ordinary circumstances, but just in reduplicative contexts the process becomes partially phonologically conditioned. Another challenge that arises from consideration of this ablaut puzzle is that epenthetic vowels ...

In linguistic studies, reduplication generally means the repetition of any linguistic unit such as a phoneme, morpheme, word, phrase, clause or the utterance as a whole. The identification of reduplication is a part of general task of identification of multiword expressions (MWE). In the present work, reduplications have been identified from the Bengali corpus of the articles of Rabindranath Ta...

In Yaeyaman, a critically endangered Japonic language of the Southern Ryukyus, there is a distinction made between singular and plural wh-questions, with plurality indicated by reduplication of the indeterminate (wh) pronoun. I argue that reduplication of the indeterminate is triggered by a morpheme RED that requires the presence of non-atoms in the set of Hamblin alternatives denoted by its si...

Kim, Hyung-Soo. 2009. The Full-ta-Partial Reduction in Korean and Turkish Reduplication. Linguistic Research. 26(2), 121-148. Turkish and Korean share the morphological feature of having only suffixation in derivation. Partial reduplications, however, appear to contradict this typological generalization: partial prefixal reduplication has been claimed to exist in both languages, even though suc...

This paper examines the synchronic status of laryngeal consonants (glottal stop and h) in Guarijío, a Uto-Aztecan language of Chihuahua and Sonora, Mexico. I focus on their word-internal distribution in roots and affixes and their behavior under reduplication, showing that both have a very limited distribution and arguing that a different analysis is appropriate for each. I argue that h is a co...

Restricting centriole duplication to once per cell cycle is critical for chromosome segregation and genomic stability, but the mechanisms underlying this block to reduplication are unclear. Genetic analyses have suggested an involvement for Skp/Cullin/F box (SCF)-class ubiquitin ligases in this process. In this study, we describe a mechanism to prevent centriole reduplication in Drosophila mela...
