| Abstract: | "Rendaku I: Constraint Conjunction and the OCP" is a handout of a lecture delivered at the Kobe Phonology Forum (September 1996, Kobe, Japan). Building on Smolensky 1995, it develops a constraint-conjunctive conception of so-called OCP-effects ("self-conjunction") and applies it to several cases of dissimilation, including Grassmann's Law (on voiced aspirates in Sanskrit), Lex Mamilla-type cases involving prosodic instead of featural dissimilation, and Lyman's Law (on voiced obstruents in Modern and Old Japanese), including its interaction with Sequential Voicing. The sequel--"Rendaku II: Domain Hierarchies and Economy"--deals with the consequences of Economy of Structure for the morphology and phonology of compounds. A revised form of this lecture will be presented at WECOL 1996 (UC Santa Cruz, October 25, 1996). |
