“…On the one hand, Jones (1918) and Pike (1943) consider [i] as less sonorous than [u], while Hooper (1976) and Foley (1977) consider back round vowels to be more sonorous than front vowels. On the other hand, Arab grammarians (Bohas 1979(Bohas , 1982 consider [u] as less sonorous than [i], 35 while Kiparsky (1979) considers front vowels to be more sonorous than back vowels. Instead, we agree with Angoujard (1990:24) that "[a]ny language may interpret the sonority hierarchy, but it cannot reconstruct it", that at least for vowels this hierarchy is based on height (p. 15), and that "the sounds HI and /u/ ... are subjected to specific processes" (p. 16).…”

Harmonic Scales as Faithfulness

Optimality Theory predicts that harmonic scales can be encoded in grammar in one of two ways: either as markedeness hierarchies or else as faithfulness hierarchies. Although most current researchers assume that harmony is encoded as markedness, many investigators have argued that some harmonic relations are better captured as faithfulness hierarchies that prevent the deletion or insertion of less harmonic elements. We demonstrate that at least two perceptually-motivated harmonic scales — notably relative vowel height as well as consonant glottalisation — need to be encoded in the grammar as faithfulness hierarchies which require that more harmonic elements, which are also more perceptible, are more faithfully adhered to. Ourharmony-as-faithfulnessanalysis captures the fact that the same elements which undergo deletion also undergo insertion.

“…As an alternative to both approaches, the lexicon could simply store all surface forms and express lexical relatedness through lexical correspondence rules. Bohas and Guillaume's (1984) and Goldenberg's (1994) surveys of the notion of root in Semitic show that this debate has opposed linguistic schools of thought for centuries. Glossing over distinctions between verbal and nominal morphologies, we may distinguish two views.…”

The Mental Representation of Semitic Words

2000

This article is concerned with external evidence bearing on the nature of the units stored in the mental lexicons of speakers of Semitic languages. On the basis of aphasic metathesis errors we collected in a single case study, we suggest that roots can be accessed as independent morphological units. We review documented language games and slips of the tongue that lead to the same conclusion. We also discuss evidence for the morphemic status of templates from aphasic errors, language games, and slips of the tongue. We conclude that the available external evidence is best accounted for within a morpheme-based theory of morphology that forms words by combining roots and templates.

Histoire Epistémologie Langage

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In his important dictionary, al-Muḫaṣṣaṣ, Ibn Sīda, the most distinguished Andalusian lexicographer, born in Murcia and died in Denia in 458/1066, presents, as the foundations of his work, a conception of the nature of language and the origin of speech. The latter theory is borrowed, almost literally, from al-Ḫaṣāʾiṣ, without this being stated explicitly. Al-Ḫaṣāʾiṣ, as we know, is the epistemological work of Ibn Ǧinnī, a great Baġdādi grammarian of Greek origin of the 4th/10th century. As Ibn Ǧinnī’s extract seems to be taken literally, Ibn Sīda’s passage has been described as a servile borrowing and has not, to our knowledge, been more extensively studied. I will try in this paper to show that this is, in fact, a reading with significant differences about some important points, leading to a somewhat different conception of language. Some aspects of Ibn Sīda’s relation to Ibn Ǧinnī’s work will be examined in this regard.
