Summary



In this Chapter I have analyzed phonological phenomena which play a role in the analysis of the variable-position affixes. Specifically, I have discussed the structure of syllables, closed syllable long-vowel shortening, final-vowel shortening and the absence of [y] following a consonant. In analyzing these phenomena, the constraints in (150) are motivated.

(150) Constraints motivated in this chapter

a. onset

b. align-l

c. final-c

d. s-wt

e. dep (c)

f. fsv

g. dep (m)

h. max (m)

i. tone

j. y/n q

k. wh q

l. *Cy

m. max (y)

n. max (y’)


In addition, the rankings in (151) were established for the non-exceptional cases. (Also listed are the phenomena which motivated each ranking).

The corresponding constraint hierarchy is seen in (152). A line between two constraints indicates a dominance relation.

In the Chapter 3 I introduce the variable-position affixes in Afar and offer an analysis in Optimality Theory.
