This paper deals with asymmetry of faithfulness between the edges of prosodic/morphological units and their rest parts. I argue that the notion of positional faithfulness is more relevant to handle such asymmetry observed in various languages rather than positional markedness. Data shows that prosodic units such as segments, moras, and foot can be targets for faithfulness to the input at either at the left or at right edges of morphological domains such as morphemes and words as well as of prosodic domains such as prosodic words, accentual phrases and phonological phrases. The presence of both marked and unmarked structures positioned at edges supports extended positional faithfulness. Further, the proposed analysis formally confirms Panini's Theorem in Optimality Theory by appealing to position-specific constraints ranked above general faithfulness constraints. It also provides a possible way to establish a universally-fixed positional faithfulness constraint ranking through further research.
Abstract
This paper deals with asymmetry of faithfulness between the edges of prosodic/morphological units and their rest parts. I argue that the notion of positional faithfulness is more relevant to handle such asymmetry observed in various languages rather than positional markedness. Data shows that prosodic units such as segments, moras, and foot can be targets for faithfulness to the input at either at the left or at right edges of morphological domains such as morphemes and words as well as of prosodic domains such as prosodic words, accentual phrases and phonological phrases. The presence of both marked and unmarked structures positioned at edges supports extended positional faithfulness. Further, the proposed analysis formally confirms Panini's Theorem in Optimality Theory by appealing to position-specific constraints ranked above general faithfulness constraints. It also provides a possible way to establish a universally-fixed positional faithfulness constraint ranking through further research.
