My analysis is tentative and incomplete, but ideally this presentation will go as follows:<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0\u00a0 First I&#8217;ll argue that a phonological requirement of these case affixes results in the insertion of certain mysterious epenthetic morphemes. Second I&#8217;ll argue that the &#8216;epenthetic&#8217; status of these morphemes is obscured by processes which can subsequently delete the original genitive\/accusative marking, thus yielding opaque derivations for many nominal forms. Third I&#8217;ll turn to a pattern of plural allomorphy unique to genitive and accusative cases, which I&#8217;ll suggest provides a clear counterexample to certain theories of case features and suppletion argued for in recent literature in morphology. Fourth I&#8217;ll relate these Buryat facts to analogous patterns in other languages.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speaker: Colin Davis (MIT) Title: The morphophonology of case in Buryat\u00a0 Date and time: Monday 9\/17, 5-6pm Location: 32-D831 Abstract: In this presentation, I&#8217;ll overview some morpho-phonological properties of case in Barguzin Buryat (Mongolic) based on my recent fieldwork.
