Outline

Highlights

Derived environment effects (DEEs) are alternations that arelimited to morphologically complex words.

DEEs are thought to be local, but can also be long-distance.

I will propose an analysis based on Licensed Alignment.

Outline

Preview: Main claims

DEEs can be both local and long-distance.

DEE can be blocked both locally and long-distance.

The locality facts in long-distance DEEs are unlike the onesfound with other segmental patterns.

Long-distance DEEs are challenging for phonological theory.

Long-distance DEEs are predicted by Licensed Alignment.

Derived Environment Effects

Oostendorp 2007; Anttila 2009; Wolf 2008; Burzio 2011}

Phonological patterns are typically unaffected by morphemeboundaries, and apply both within morphemes and acrossmorpheme boundaries.

Derived Environment Effects (DEEs) are alternations that arelimited to morphologically complex words, and do not appearin morphologically simpler words.

Typically the alternations appear at the morpheme boundary.

Let’s look at the same pattern that is a DEE in one language,but not in another.

Locality in DEEs

Finnish presents a case of local DEEs.

Local DEEs are quite common and have been documented inthe literature early on.

Local DEEs are unsurprising given what we know aboutlocality in phonology.

There are many rather straightforward analyses of DEEs. In anutshell, the constraint/rule must refer to morphemeboundary.

More recently, several long-distance DEEs have been reported.The phenomenon is termed the Oprah effect (Jurgec 2014).

The Oprah Effect will be the focus of today’s lecture.

Oprah effect

Some speakers of Dutch can pronounce [ô] in recent loanwordsfrom English, as long as they lack a suffix. In suffixed words,the rhotic is replaced by the native [ö].

Dutch affixation: ô → öbare root ô derived öOp[ô]ah ‘Oprah’ Op[ö]ah-tje *Op[ô]ah-tje ‘dimin’Ba[ô]ack ‘Barack’ Ba[ö]ack-se *Ba[ô]ack-se ‘adj’[ô]eading ‘Reading’ [ö]eading-je *[ô]eading-je ‘dimin’Flo[ô]ida ‘Florida’ Flo[ö]ida-tje *Flo[ô]ida-tje ‘dimin’

All r’s in the root are affected, regardless of their distancefrom the suffix.

Spoiler alert: This pattern has been in native words (e.g.Russian) and well-integrated loanwords (Tagalog) as well.

Significance of the data

The Oprah Effect appears unlike any of the patterns welooked at so far:

Alternation applies at a great distance.Suffix and the target sound do not share a straightforwardphonetic connection. Many suffixes act as triggers, regardlessof their segmental content.

If so, then DEEs are perhaps a very different kind of animal.

Loanword roots take the foreign cophonology (allowing ô),whereas the suffixes take the native cophonology (no onset ô).

Whenever both kinds of morphemes appear in the same word,the suffix trumps the root, and the native cophonology appliesto the whole word (along the lines of Kiparsky 1973;Zonneveld 1978; Inkelas & Zoll 2007).

2 Stratal approach: phonological operations apply within theroot-level at one cycle, then at stem-level at the next cycle,then at word-level. Challenge: The word-level phonologyapplies to all roots.

In short, the Oprah effect is a challenge for phonologicaltheory.

There restrictions do not seem to follow from any otherproperties of the languages in question.For instance, inflection in Dutch appears to be very similar toinflection in English, yet Dutch allows the relevantforeign/marked structures with inflection, while English doesnot.

Ranking

LA constraints can be satisfied by spreading the relevantfeature to a suffix segment.

While there are cases of harmony that target only a singlesegment in the suffix (Kaplan 2008; Walker 2011), this is notwhat happens in Dutch, which instead prefers a featurechange.

This suggest that the faithfulness constraints prefer themapping /ô/ → [ö] rather than spreading, or deletion of [ô].

The LA constraint is violated whenever a derivational affixfollows a root containing an [ô], in which case [ö] surfacesinstead.

Crucially, bare roots, inflected and prefixed words satisfy LA,and hence the faithful candidate wins.

Oprah Effect

Interim summary

We have seen that Licensed Alignment can capture local andlong-distance DEEs.

Faithfulness constraints prefer feature change/deletion ratherthan spreading (as attested in some cases of assimilation).

Multiple LA constraints

Beyond affix position and type

LA makes further predictions about how the Oprah Effect canbe affected by morphological domains.

These are dependent upon the domains precedencerelationships in LA.

In particular, LA establishes a precedence relationship betweenunlike constituents: features/segments and morphologicaldomains.

Multiple LA constraints

Inflected implies derived

Generalization:No language shows the Oprah Effect only with inflectional,but not derivational, suffixes.

Explanation:There is no domain common to roots and inflectional affixesto the exclusion of derivational affixes.

Example languages:None. The opposite pattern is frequent.

Multiple LA constraints

Multiple Oprah Effects in a single language

Generalization:Oprah Effects within a single language may differ with respectto their domains.

Explanation:LA constraints refer to a particular sound/feature. This meansthat each individual sound is generally independent of othersounds.

Example languages:English, Slovenian.

Slovenian r

Slovenian exhibits a ô ∼ R alternation, which is similar to theDutch one. Any affixation triggers the Oprah Effect.

Schwa that appears in bare roots is retained in inflectedwords, but is replaced with [e] in derived words.Slovenian derivation only: @ → e

The same variation that has been observed cross-linguisticallycan also occur within the same language.This sort of variation is predicted by LA, since each segmentcomes with its own set of LA constraints, and LA constraintsmay be sensitive to different domains.

Precedence in LA

Infixes

Generalization:Infixes always pattern with suffixes and/or prefixes. This ispart of a more general, edge preference of infixes (Yu 2007).

Explanation:Definition of precedence in LA matters. Precedence in LAinvolves both features and morphological domains. An infixprecedes the whole root (and vice versa).

Example language:English.

Theoretical account:

Long-distance DEEs are hard to model.Licensed Alignment predicts long-distance DEEs.Licensed Alignment is a powerful tool that has been used forprosody, segmental patterns (assimilation, dissimilation), andDEEs.
