This paper gives a moraic analysis of gemination and laryngeal alternations associated with
consonant gradation in North Saami. Gradation gives rise to a surface three-way length …

Adopting an Optimality-theoretic approach, this paper examines gemination in English
loanwords in Ammani Arabic (AA). Data come from a corpus of 1200 loanwords as produced …

The crosslinguistic typology of geminate consonants demonstrates several prominent
tendencies: geminates are typically found in intervocalic positions, often after stressed …

Two separate views have been advocated for the representation of underlying
monomorphemic (“true”) geminate consonants. Under the syllabic weight analysis of what …

Minimalist Morphology predicts that allomorphy is conditioned inward and locally, and that
the domains of morphosyntactically and phonologically conditioned allomorphy selection …

This study aims to identify types of compounds in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) and
Jordanian Arabic (JA) by applying the cross-linguistic criteria for compoundhood discussed …

One of the major areas of research in syllable phonology is syllable weight; specifically,
what types of syllables can function as heavy and how weight is represented. The moraic …

The Ikema dialect of Miyako Island in Okinawa, Japan, has typologically rare word-initial and
voiced geminate obstruents (eg/vva/'you',/ffa/'child',/tta/'tongue',/badda/'side'). These sounds …

The Australian language Arrernte has been argued by Breen & Pensalfini (1999) and Evans
& Levinson (2009) to present a case of VC syllabification with coda maximisation, rather …
