\nTitle: Foreignness, Word Structure and Lexical Stratum
\nTime: Monday 10\/25, 5pm, 32-D831<\/P><\/p>\n
\nIn many languages, loanwords undergo a different set of phonological rules from native items: loanwords sometimes allow a subset of the structures present in native phonology (Kenstowicz 2005), they might allow a superset (Inkelas, Orgun, and Zoll 1997) or two can be disjunctive (Jurgec 2009). All such phenomena could be due to (a) unfamiliarity of loanwords or (b) formal marking as a member of distinctive lexical stratum.<\/P><\/p>\nI support hypothesis (b), showing a Korean case in which phonological behavior of loanwords and native items with similar frequency behave differently: loanwords are more resistant to alternations. Interestingly, a lexical strata effect is found only from morphologically complex words: foreign compounds resist native alternations, but lexicalized monomorphemic items don\u0092t (e.g. \u0091sun light\u0092 ? [s?n lait] vs. \u0091lonely\u0092 ? [lolli]). To analyze this result, I separate indexed Faithfulness constraints (It\u00f4 and Mester 1995, Pater 2000) into two components\u0097Input-Output and Output-Output correspondence constraints. <\/P><\/p>\n
In some cases, however, compounds participate in native alternations; (1) when native inflectional suffix is added (e.g. \u0091sun light-i(nom)\u0092 ? s?l lais-i) and (2) when a native morpheme is at the right edge of compound (e.g. back madang \u0091yard\u0092 ? ba? mada? vs. c?k \u0091red\u0092 napkin ? c?k nap?kin). Assuming that (1) an inflectional suffix is head of the word and (2) Korean posits head of compound at the right edge of the word, I argue the head is always relevant in determining the stratal behavior. Notably, the only constraints where head makes a difference are OO-F constraints, so processes are free to apply within foreign monomorphemic words.<\/P>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
