皮马(位于亚利桑那州中部的乌托-阿兹特坎)通过部分重叠使名词复数。复制的素材量在单个C(mavit/ma-m-vit‘狮子(S)’)和CV(hodai/ho-ho-dai‘Rock(S)’)之间变化。前者是首选的，除非复制单个C会导致非法的尾部或簇，在这种情况下，CV被复制。与前人对Tohono O‘odham和LushootSeed中类似模式的分析不同，我将重叠词分析为中缀而不是前缀。可以通过要求词干的第一个元音对应于单词的第一个元音的约束来产生重叠词的插入。此外，可以通过将位置忠实性扩展到基本-重叠关系来产生复制单词的声母的偏好。我认为内固定分析在两个方面更好。首先，它将C与Cv的变化减少到由音调限制的重复大小的实例。第二，与前缀分析不同的是，前缀分析必须引入一个新的忠实概念，以便在重叠的背景下允许基础中的晕厥(例如，存在忠诚(Struijke 2000a))，而内缀分析只使用对应理论中独立必要的限制。
Pima (Uto-Aztecan, central Arizona) pluralizes nouns via partial reduplication. The amount of material copied varies between a single C (mavit / ma-m-vit ‘lion(s)’) and CV (hodai / ho-ho-dai ‘rock(s)’). The former is preferred unless copying a single C would give rise to an illicit coda or cluster, in which case CV is copied. In contrast to previous analyses of similar patterns in Tohono O’odham and Lushootseed, I analyze the reduplicant as an infix rather than a prefix. The infixation of the reduplicant can be generated via constraints requiring the first vowel of the stem to correspond to the first vowel of the word. Furthermore, the preference for copying the initial consonant of the word can be generated by extending positional faithfulness to the base-reduplicant relationship. I argue that the infixation analysis is superior on two grounds. First, it reduces the C vs. CV variation to an instance of reduplicant size conditioned by phonotactics. Second, unlike the prefixation analyses, which must introduce a new notion of faithfulness to allow syncope in the base just in the context of reduplication (e.g. “existential faithfulness” (Struijke 2000a)), the infixation analysis uses only independently necessary constraints of Correspondence Theory.
