Thesis (Ph.D.)--Harvard University, 1994.

This thesis provides a new theory of morphological change, superseding the traditional analogy and early generative "rule loss" models. The core of this model is the interaction between a formal morphological component with lexical redundancy rules and a pragmatics component that calculates the relative productivity of the rules and the relative salience of the lexical entries. Together these components interact to predict the direction, speed, and patterns of lexical replacement in the spread of morphological rules.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a This thesis provides a new theory of morphological change, superseding the traditional analogy and early generative "rule loss" models. The core of this model is the interaction between a formal morphological component with lexical redundancy rules and a pragmatics component that calculates the relative productivity of the rules and the relative salience of the lexical entries. Together these components interact to predict the direction, speed, and patterns of lexical replacement in the spread of morphological rules.
520 $a Chapter 1 examines the scope of morphological change and previous unsuccessful approaches to the problems of regularization, irregularization, levelling, and unlevelling. Chapter 2 proposes a synchronic theory of the lexicon in which these changes can be best described and explained: a version of Lexical Relatedness Morphology (Bochner, 1988), with fully-specified lexical entries and bidirectional redundancy rules that handle concatenation and non-automatic sound alternations simultaneously. Chapter 3 examines the factors of productivity and salience in the pragmatics component, including formal elements which can be determined in the absence of living speakers, and psycholinguistic elements such as the role of frequency and prototypicality in acquisition, processing, and retrieval of words. Chapter 4 applies this interactive lexical model of morphological change to the recalcitrant phenomena from Chapter 1, plus additional changes whose explanations fall out naturally from the interaction of the two components. Chapter 5 is a closer examination of three classic cases of what was in the early generative framework termed "rule loss": Verner's Law in Gothic, Rhotacism in Latin, and Bartholomae's Law in Avestan. Other problems and languages treated in the thesis include Sanskrit e-perfects, English fricative voicing, Swahili glide-formation, and Maori final consonant-deletion.
