Abstract:

This book investigates the phenomenon of morphological length manipulation:
changes in segmental length that cannot be explained by phonological means
alone but crucially rely on morphological information. Eva Zimmermann provides
a unified theoretical account of these phenomena by taking into account all
possible prosodically defective morpheme representations and their potential
effects on the resulting surface structure. Data are drawn from a wide range
of the world's languages, including Aymara, Yine, Upriver Halkomelem, Wolof,
Hungarian, Tohono O'odham, and Southern Sierra Miwok, providing a through
representative database of morphological length manipulation patterns in the
languages of the world. The author demonstrates that alternative accounts
suffer from significant problems of both under- and over-generation when
tested against the full range of attested phenomena. The volume will be of
interest to all researchers and graduate students working in theoretical
phonology and morphology.
