Factorial Typology

Elementary Syllable Structure (Prince & Smolensky 1993, Ch. 6)

The Jakobson Typology

“There are languages lacking syllables with initial vowels and/or syllables with final consonants, but there are no languages devoid of syllables with initial consonants or syllables with final vowels.”

onsets

required not required

codas forbidden ΣCV Σ(C)V

allowed ΣCV(C) Σ(C)V(C)

Constraints assumed

Faithfulness w  FILL

Empty syllabic positions are prohibited. (nuclei = ♡, margins = ♢)

w  PARSE Unsyllabified segments are prohibited. (e.g., ⟨C⟩, ⟨V⟩)

Markedness w  ONSET (“ONS” in PS93)

Vowel-initial (onsetless) syllables are prohibited: *[σV…

w  NO-CODA (“–COD”) Consonant-final (codaful?) syllables are prohibited: *…C]σ

Simplifying assumption: maximal syllable = CVC

Permuted rankings

w  There are 4!=24 permutations of these constraints. Not all will yield distinct results, because not every pair of constraints is in conflict. A little a priori analysis of the interactions simplifies the task of exploring the factorial typology:

l  FILL conflicts with PARSE only if ONSET or NO-CODA dominates

one of them. Thus, there’s no detectable difference, with respect to just these constraints, between the following two rankings: w  FILL ≫ PARSE ≫ {ONSET, NO-CODA}

PARSE ≫ FILL ≫ {ONSET, NO-CODA}

Page 5: Factorial Typology - Linguistic Society of America · Extended CV Syllable Structure Typology Onsets required not required ONSET, FILL Ons ≫ PARSE ONSET, PARSE ≫ FILLOns PARSE,

Permuted rankings

l  ONSET doesn’t ever come into conflict with NO-CODA. Thus, there’s no detectable difference, with respect to just these constraints, between the following pairs of rankings: w  ONSET ≫ NO-CODA ≫ FILL ≫ PARSE

NO-CODA ≫ ONSET ≫ FILL ≫ PARSE w  ONSET ≫ NO-CODA ≫ PARSE ≫ FILL

NO-CODA ≫ ONSET ≫ PARSE ≫ FILL

w  FILL ≫ ONSET ≫ NO-CODA ≫ PARSE

FILL ≫ NO-CODA ≫ ONSET ≫ PARSE

w  PARSE ≫ ONSET ≫ NO-CODA ≫ FILL

PARSE ≫ NO-CODA ≫ ONSET ≫ FILL

w  {FILL, PARSE} ≫ ONSET ≫ NO-CODA

{FILL, PARSE} ≫ NO-CODA ≫ ONSET

Page 6: Factorial Typology - Linguistic Society of America · Extended CV Syllable Structure Typology Onsets required not required ONSET, FILL Ons ≫ PARSE ONSET, PARSE ≫ FILLOns PARSE,

Some Issues to Consider

w  Given these constraints … … can any language ever lack CV syllables entirely? … can any language ever require CVC syllables? … will any language ever syllabify /CVCV/ as [CVC.V]?

w  These constraints entail the following: a. No language that satisfies ONSET by deletion will satisfy NO-CODA by epenthesis. b. No language that satisfies ONSET by epenthesis will satisfy NO-CODA by deletion. c. No language that satisfies NO-CODA by deletion will satisfy ONSET by epenthesis. d. No language that satisfies NO-CODA by epenthesis will satisfy ONSET by deletion.

w  (Do you see why this is the case? Since these entailments are unlikely to be correct, how can the theory be amended to avoid them?)
