Penn Working Papers in Linguistics 7, 27–37 (2001). Prosodic Word Structure in Kashaya Reduplication* Eugene Buckley I argue in this paper that in Kashaya (Pomoan: N. California), the base and the reduplicant are separate prosodic words, leading to a bracketing mis- match between the phonology and morphology. In particular, most of the morphology is suffixing and the suffixes join in the prosodic word headed by the reduplicant, excluding the base. (1) a. morphology [ [ base + reduplicant ] suffixes ] b. prosody [ ] [ ] I first describe the two types of verbal reduplication, the iterative and the frequentative (§1). I then show how foot structure is constructed separately for the reduplicant and all that follows it (§2). Next I present the three processes that are sensitive to this foot structure, as well as the location of the foot relative to the edge of the prosodic word: the outcome of elision (§3), the choice of Durative allomorphs (§4), and the distribution of laryn- geal increments (§5). A summary and conclusion are given in §6. 1 Reduplication There are two basic reduplicative patterns in Kashaya verbs. (Reduplication in Kashaya nouns is lexicalized and does not lead to two prosodic words; for analysis, see Buckley 1994a.) Many verbs include instrumental prefixes; they interact with reduplication in ways identical to a syllable in the same position which is part of the root (shown in bold). The first type of reduplication forms the ITERATIVE, “meaning that the action is repeated a few times” (Oswalt 1961: 155). The final syllable is copied, including any laryngeal increment /÷, h/ that precedes the onset. (For more on increments, see §5.) * This paper was present
