This paper examines two case studies of morpheme-specific reduplication that copy from a syntactic domain larger than root but smaller word, providing an analysis in Cophonologies by Phase (CBP) both phonotactic requirements different processes and the amount structure copied reduplication. The first study comes Guébie (Kru, Ivory Coast), where marks nominalization reciprocals (among others). I...

Adults of varying reading comprehension skill learned a set of previously unknown rare English words (e.g., gloaming) in three different learning conditions in which the type of word knowledge was manipulated. The words were presented in one of three conditions: (1) orthography-to-meaning (no phonology); (2) orthography-to-phonology (no meaning); and (3) phonology-to-meaning (no orthography). F...

Some of the most salient differences among Arabic vernaculars have to do with syllable structure. This study focuses on the syllabification patterns of three dialect groups, (1) VC-dialects, (2) C-dialects, and (3) CV-dialects,1 and argues that they differ in the licencing of SEMISYLLABLES, moras unaffiliated with syllables and adjoined to higher prosodic constituents. The analysis provides som...
