Issues of locality and
morphologically induced non-identity in the N. Karanga
assertive and non-assertive patterns
NINA TOPINTZI
The main previous account of the N. Karanga
verbal stem tonology, Hewitt and Prince 1989, relies
on derivations and makes heavy use of extrametricality.
I propose an output-based analysis in which tone triplication is the result of FtHd Locality interacting with the OCP.
Construction-specific extrametricality is dispensed
with in favour of a requirement for phonological non-identity among members of morphological
paradigms.
