Identity Effects in Morphological Truncation

Abstract

This study of morphological truncation establishes correspondence relations (McCarthy & Prince 1995-ROA 60) between separate words (dubbed output-output correspondence), with evidence from phonological effects of over- and underapplication. Templatic deletion and circumscriptional patterns are similarly analyzed in terms of output-output relations. Extension of the correspondence model to so-called "cyclic" phenomena is also briefly considered.
