乔克托强化的统一账户

乔克托语动词通过（明显的）固定、双生和重音的复杂过程形成强化。所有形状的动词都有两种不同的强化形式，Ulrich (1986) 将其区分为 y 级（涉及双生 yy）和 g 级（涉及词干辅音或降调的双生）。 Lombardi & McCarthy (1991) 根据韵律限制理论分析了 Choctaw 强化 (McCarthy & Prince 1990)。 Hammond (1993) 在同一理论中给出了另一种分析。虽然在某些方面很有洞察力，但这些分析未能解释乔克托语的全部强化，而是为任何动词生成单一强化。在本文中，我提出了对 Choctaw 强化的统一分析，使用两个差异最小的程序来生成任何动词的两个强化。
Choctaw verbs form intensives by a complex procedure of (apparent) infixation, gemination and accentuation. Verbs of all shapes have two distinct intensive forms, which Ulrich (1986) distinguishes as the y-grade (involving a geminate yy) and the g-grade (involving gemination of a stem consonant or a falling tone). Lombardi & McCarthy (1991) analyse Choctaw intensives in terms of the theory of prosodic circumscription (McCarthy & Prince 1990). Hammond (1993) gives an alternative analysis within the same theory. While insightful in certain respects, these analyses fail to account for the full range of Choctaw intensives, instead generating a single intensive for any verb. In the present paper, I propose a unified analysis of Choctaw intensives, with two, minimally different, procedures for generating the two intensives of any verb.
