In most analyses, a simple process tackles the two issues simultaneously. Inevitably, the strong cross-linguistic variation associated with issue (b) is tamed by means of parameters internal to the gemination process itself (see, among others, Lombardy and McCarthy (1990) for a crosslinguistic analysis; Archangeli (1987) and Hohulin and Kenstowicz (1979) for Keley-i; Hardy and Montler (1988a, 1988b) for Alabama; Shetler (1976) for Balangao). By distinguishing the two issues, the analysis presented here identifies a unique and non parametric gemination process, while the specific gemination pattern of a language follows from independently motivated universal wellformedness constraints. As for issue (a), I follow Lombardi and McCarthy (1990) and recognize the existence of a purely prosodic affix constituted of an empty mora. Gemination emerges when this affix is inserted in a base and filled by one of the nearby segments, as illustrated by the derivation below from Keley-i:
