In Government Phonology (henceforth GP), it is proposed that syllables are bound together based on governing relations. One of constraints in GP is the constraint of Proper Government. It requires two conditions: (i) the governor should not itself be governed, and (ii) the domain of a governing relation should not include another governing domain. Kaye, Lowenstamm and Vergnaud (1990, henceforth Kaye et al) appeal to this constraint of Proper Government and the Empty Category Principle in order to explain the vowel alternation of i/Ø in Moroccan Arabic words, such as [kittib] and [ktib]. In Minas Gerais dialect of Brazilian Portuguese, however, phonological process of palatalization occurs, despite the intervening of a governing relation between the two nuclei. It violates the constraint of Proper Government. Thus, by analyzing the data of Minas Gerais dialect, this paper explores how the problem can be solved in GP. The first part of the paper describes the outline of theoretical assumptions on Government Theory, explicating some basic principles and representations. The second part focuses on the process of palatalization of Minas Gerais dialect with relevant examples and centers on analyzing the phenomenon within this framework. Noting some problems which arise in Government Theory, I propose to analyze the palatalization of this language in Extended GP, which extends lexical representations in the Government framework along the lines of the Markedness Theory in the Syllable Structure approach.
Abstract
In Government Phonology (henceforth GP), it is proposed that syllables are bound together based on governing relations. One of constraints in GP is the constraint of Proper Government. It requires two conditions: (i) the governor should not itself be governed, and (ii) the domain of a governing relation should not include another governing domain. Kaye, Lowenstamm and Vergnaud (1990, henceforth Kaye et al) appeal to this constraint of Proper Government and the Empty Category Principle in order to explain the vowel alternation of i/Ø in Moroccan Arabic words, such as [kittib] and [ktib]. In Minas Gerais dialect of Brazilian Portuguese, however, phonological process of palatalization occurs, despite the intervening of a governing relation between the two nuclei. It violates the constraint of Proper Government. Thus, by analyzing the data of Minas Gerais dialect, this paper explores how the problem can be solved in GP. The first part of the paper describes the outline of theoretical assumptions on Government Theory, explicating some basic principles and representations. The second part focuses on the process of palatalization of Minas Gerais dialect with relevant examples and centers on analyzing the phenomenon within this framework. Noting some problems which arise in Government Theory, I propose to analyze the palatalization of this language in Extended GP, which extends lexical representations in the Government framework along the lines of the Markedness Theory in the Syllable Structure approach.
