| Abstract: | Avoidance of the Marked Suzanne Urbanczyk University of British Columbia and University of Victoria This paper proposes that Halq'emeylem (Central Coast Salish) 'continuative' allomorphy is an instance of a-templatic reduplication. The non-reduplicative allomorphs are derived by making changes to the stem, thus avoiding the reduplicant altogether. This occurs just in case the base contains marked structure. The ranking is similar to that for normal application in reduplication. Avoidance of the marked is simply another way that phonological constraints affect the shape of morphemes, and in this case, the stem, in true a-templatic fashion. |
