| Abstract: | Intra-Representational Correspondence and Truncation Nathan Sanders UC Santa Cruz This paper was presented at Linguistics at Santa Cruz [LASC] 1999, University of California, Santa Cruz. In this paper, I argue against the emergence of the unmarked prosodic structure analysis of truncation in Benua 1995, 1998, which has two problems: a ranking paradox for Icelandic, and an undesirable requirement to ignore faithfulness to the underlying representation. I provide solutions to these problems by extending base-reduplicant correspondence (McCarthy and Prince 1995) to allow other morphemes the ability to trigger "intra-representational correspondence" (IRC). In particular, I assume that TRUNC, the morpheme which induces truncation, is a morpheme that can trigger IRC in a similar way that the reduplication morpheme RED does. This analysis has three benefits: (i) it avoids the ranking paradox from the EoU analysis of Icelandic, (ii) it does not require that input-output faithfulness be ignored in the case of truncation, and (iii) it provides a way to unify various patterns in French hypcoristic formation, in which truncation, reduplication, and metathesis are utilized depending on the shape of the base form (Nelson 1998). |
