Class description

LING 580: Prosodic Morphology and the phonology-morphology interface

Student learning goals

General method of instruction

Prosodic Morphology is the study of morphological processes that are crucially characterized by a particular output prosodic shape (defined in terms of moras, syllables, feet, and prosodic words) rather than by a string of output segments. Examples of Prosodic Morphology include infixation, truncation, root-and-pattern morphology, minimal (and maximal) word effects and reduplication.

Recommended preparation

Familiarity with (but not expertise in) Optimality Theory is assumed.

Class assignments and grading

Assignments will include presentations on the readings, and a final research paper and presentation on a topic within Prosodic Morphology.
