SUMMARY:Colloquium Talk - Barbara Citko
DESCRIPTION:Economy in PF-Reduction: Why and when (not) to elide multidominant structures? \nIn this talk\, reporting on joint work with Martina Gračanin-Yuksek\, we examine two ways in which a syntactic structure can be PF-reduced (unpronounced): multidominance (MD) and ellipsis. If both ellipsis and MD are available in principle\, the following questions arise: (i) what factors influence the choice between ellipsis and MD? (ii) can multiply-dominated material be elided and if so\, under what circumstances? To answer these questions\, we look at the properties of coordinate structures in which the elements that survive PF-reduction are wh-phrases: Coordinated Wh-Questions (CWHs) and Coordinated Sluices (CSs)\, illustrated in (1-2). \n(1) What and when should you teach?                                                                   CWH \n(2) Someone saw something\, but I can’t remember who or what.                         CS \nOur main claim is that PF reduction is governed by economy\, which affects syntactic derivations in two ways. First\, economy favors “least effort” derivations (i.e.\, derivations with fewest operations) from the set of possible derivations that arrive at the same string with the same interpretation (Chomsky 1991; Bošković 1997; Collins 2001; among many others)\, and\, second\, economy bans derivations in which PF reducing operations apply vacuously (i.e.\, without having an effect on pronunciation). \nLocation: Royce Hall 362

SUMMARY:Colloquium Talk - Maria Gouskova
DESCRIPTION:Location: Royce Hall 362 \nPhonological Selection in Small Sublexicons\n\nAffixes can impose phonological restrictions on the stems they attach to: only consonant-final stems\, or stems no bigger than two syllables. These restrictions remain poorly understood and under-formalized. For example\, Prosodic Morphology-era analyses characterize adjectival -er/-est affixation as selecting for a trochee\, but it remains a mystery why this trochee can be disyllabic\, while the -en suffix ("stiff-en"\, "redd-en") admits only obstruent-final monosyllables. I\nconsider the problem from the perspective of sublexical theory\, whereby the generalizations about such patterns are statistically extracted rather than being part of the morphological rules governing the affixes. The challenge taken on in this talk is how to extract generalizations from small sublexicons.\n\nI explore size restrictions imposed by two suffixes of Russian: the adjectival "notable body part" -ast suffix (e.g.\, glaz-ast-ij 'big-eyed') and the nominal "baby diminutive" -onok (e.g.\, akulʲ-onok 'baby shark'). The -ast suffix selects for disyllabic stems\, while the baby diminutive selects for maximally trisyllabic stems. In Sharoff's (2005) list of Russian words that occur at least once per million in the Russian National Corpus\, -ast adjectives are represented by just 17 lemmas\, and -onok baby diminutives by 29 lemmas. An exploration\nof a larger corpus shows that both affixes are productive\, and their size selection constraints are projected in a frequency-matching pattern. The frequency-matching even extends to the semantics of the stems\, specifically the categories that typically figure in inalienable possession.  \n\nMy explanation for this is that the rules contain lexical lists (sublexicons) but no phonological (or semantic) context. Learners form phonological generalizations by calculating disparities between what is attested in the sublexicon defined by each affix vs. what is attested in the set of comparable stems in the language as a whole. The generalizations tend to be coarse (to borrow Pierrehumbert's (2001) term) because a small sublexicon is likely to support only a generalization that is informed by every item in the list: all stems\ninclude syllables\, consonants\, and vowels\, but not all stems supply evidence of finer-grained underattestation at the level of segmental features. I also argue that a Prosodic Morphology-style subcategorization frame cannot capture the 2-syll and 3-syll selection in Russian because these units do not correspond to prosodic constituents in the language.
