\nAt least since work within Lexical Morphology and Phonology, the issue of the connection
\nbetween word structure and allomorphy has been heavily investigated by
\nmorphophonologists. Recent advances within Distributed Morphology (see in particular
\nEmbick 2010) have shown that the general cyclic architecture of a phase-based Minimalist
\nProgram syntax provides the proper locality domains for the interaction of information
\ndetermining contextual allomorphy, although phonology- specific notions like adjacency
\nalso play a role, restricting possible interactions even more than what might be allowed
\nwithin a cyclic domain. Less well understood are the parallel issues at the syntax\/
\nsemantics interface, namely the computation of possible meanings of morphemes in
\ncontext. Against some recent work disputing claims in Marantz (1997, 2000) linking the
\ndomain of special meanings to phases and against recent proposals that the locality
\ndomains for phonology and semantics might differ, this paper clarifies the issues in
\ncontextual meaning determination and supports the idea that the locality domains for
\ncontextual allosemy are just those for contextual allomorphy. As a specific notion of
\nphonological adjacency further constrains allomorphic interactions, so too does a
\nsemantic specific notion of \u0093adjacency\u0094 constrain allosemic interactions and may
\nrestrict possible interactions among morphemes even more strongly than the general
\ncyclic architecture of phases.<\/P>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
