| dc.description.abstract | In Lushootseed, a Coast Salish language, reduplication is a very productive process of word formation. There exist seven different types of reduplication which take four forms. The diversity of reduplication in this language creates problems in proposing a generalization to account for the process. A minimal set of templates must account for four different forms. Endeavoring to provide such a generalization is an important contribution to the study of language, as universals lend valuable insight into the nature of Salish languages and indeed, of all languages. Such a universal is possible using a prosodic framework proposed by McCarthy and Prince (1986). The theory of Prosodic Morphology is a template representation system that attempts to account for various allomorphs by means of a shape-invariant that is prosodic in nature. Utilizing this framework, I propose in this paper an analysis of reduplication in Lushootseed. Essentially, all four forms can be accounted for with a small set of templates of varying prosodic weights. | en |
