초록
The paper aims to prove symmetries of the left and right edges of a morphological unit through the analysis of English blends. Blends are the words derived from two existing words by snipping the middle parts out and putting the rest together, such as smog (<smoke + fog) and fantabulous (<fantastic + fabulous). The first piece of evidence for the symmetries is argued to come from the morphological make-up itself. I show that the left edge of the initial source word and the right edge of the final source word are demarcated simultaneously in blending, and propose that a conjoined constraint ALIGNEDGE is responsible for this simultaneous edge marking. However, this conjoined constraint should be interpreted differently from Smolensky (1995)’s local conjunction of constraints, in that ALIGNEDGE is satisfied iff both the conjunct constraints are satisfied, following the classical logical concept of the operation of conjunction (cf. Crowhurst and Hewitt 1997). Second, I establish the right-hand head structure of English blends and the prominence of the right edge of blends based on the following evidence: the right-hand element of a blend is often the semantic head of a blend, determines the grammatical category of a blend, and decides the stress pattern of a blend. The prominence of the right-hand element is argued to further support symmetries of edges in phonology and morphology interface.
Abstract
The paper aims to prove symmetries of the left and right edges of a morphological unit through the analysis of English blends. Blends are the words derived from two existing words by snipping the middle parts out and putting the rest together, such as smog (<smoke + fog) and fantabulous (<fantastic + fabulous). The first piece of evidence for the symmetries is argued to come from the morphological make-up itself. I show that the left edge of the initial source word and the right edge of the final source word are demarcated simultaneously in blending, and propose that a conjoined constraint ALIGNEDGE is responsible for this simultaneous edge marking. However, this conjoined constraint should be interpreted differently from Smolensky (1995)’s local conjunction of constraints, in that ALIGNEDGE is satisfied iff both the conjunct constraints are satisfied, following the classical logical concept of the operation of conjunction (cf. Crowhurst and Hewitt 1997). Second, I establish the right-hand head structure of English blends and the prominence of the right edge of blends based on the following evidence: the right-hand element of a blend is often the semantic head of a blend, determines the grammatical category of a blend, and decides the stress pattern of a blend. The prominence of the right-hand element is argued to further support symmetries of edges in phonology and morphology interface.
