Level Ordering and Economy in the Lexical Phonology of Turkish

Morphological structure and phonological domains in Spanish denominal derivation

“…For an illustration, see the discussion of English stem-level cophonologies in Bermúdez-Otero and McMahon (2006: §4). Inkelas and Orgun (1995) advance a similar idea under the label of 'level economy'. 8 There is variation between buen-ecit-o and buen-it-o depending on dialectal and stylistic factors.…”

Unexceptional segments

“…Another argument for segment-by-segment marking comes from Turkish laryngeal alternations, which have been the subject of many insightful studies (Lees 1961, Kopkalli 1993, Inkelas and Orgun 1995, Inkelas et al 1997, Petrova et al 2006, Becker et al 2008). Inkelas and colleagues were the first to notice the relevance of the Turkish facts to the issue of segment-by-segment exceptionality.…”

Tohono O'odham stress in a single ranking

“…The co-phonology analysis of Tohono O'odham depends on the notion of Level Economy, as proposed in Inkelas & Orgun (1995), which holds that not all forms are required to be evaluated by all of the co-phonologies of a language. This allows the co-phonology analysis to make an important distinction between non-derived and derived forms; nonderived forms are not subject to any other co-phonology than the root co-phonology.…”
