Hayata 1998 will not be adequate if the scope is expandedbeyond Saga-Takeo dialect

It will not capture the difference in Saga western dialectbetween

the geminate consonant [VCinonminuspast ]Ci if the verbis a vowel e-final base verb or one of the two strong baseverbs andthe vowel lengthening [Vnonminuspast ]C if it is a voweli-final base verb or an r consonant-final base verb

Is the replaced u a part of the stem

If the vowel u replacing the stem final e (and thestem final i in old Japanese) were a part of anotherstem then this would apply to the Yamaguchi nconsonant-final verb and so sinu would be anotherstem

Constraints

Ru Constraint on Verb Non-past Form If the finalsyllable of the lsquonon-pastrsquo form of a verb or a form of [tenseexpl] is one with r on the onset and u on the nucleusthen the verb form will not be appropriate

Coda Con(straint) Only the special sounds (or the glottalstop or the former part of the geminate consonant (Q) orthe syllabic nasal (N) or the latter part of the lengthenedvowel (R)) are allowed on the coda positions

Faith(fulness Constraint) If the sound S is analyzed asanother distinct phoneme from the original sound then theform with the sound S will not be faithful to the original

The coda constraint ViViC would apply everywhere thecoda constraint VCiCi applies and is actually blockedby the constraint VCiCi In addition the set of thecontexts where the constraint VCiCi applies is a propersubset of the set of the contexts where the constraintViViC applies

Following Bakovic 2013 we can explain thiscomplementarity or blocking by ranking the specificconstraint prior to the general constraint or VCiCi raquoViViC

Summary and implications

SummaryWe provided the data of

the non-past forms of verbs in Japanese-Saga westerndialect in addition to Hayatarsquos 1998 observation of those inJapanese-Saga Takeo dialect in contrast with those ofJapanese Fukuoka-Yanagawa dialect and standardJapanesefurthermore 1) the non-past forms (or the pre-nominalforms and the sentence-final ones) of verbs in oldJapanese 2) the forms of the polite affix and 3) thenon-past forms of the n-consonant-final base verb sin inJapanese-Yamaguchi dialect

Hiroki Koga 28 35

The lsquonon-pastrsquo forms of the verbsA previous study

An analysisSummary and implications

It was shown that Hayata 1998 cannot capture thedifference between the geminate consonant and thelengthened vowel corresponding to the final rursquos of thelsquonon-pastrsquo forms of the verbs

We argued in favorthat the vowel u corresponding to the stem final e isNOT a part of the verb stem andthat it is NOT the same as that of the potential verb e inold Japanese

Hiroki Koga 29 35

The lsquonon-pastrsquo forms of the verbsA previous study

An analysisSummary and implications

We proposed an OT explanation with three coda constraintsand a faithfulness constraint in Koga and Onorsquos 2010morpheme-based morphology

The plural stems for some lexemes of the verbs andaffixes as morphemes selecting verb stems areassumed in the morphological frameworkThe vowel u corresponding to the stem final e is themorpheme of the tense expletive as well as thesequence ru isThe tense expletive (or the unmarked tense morphemein contrast with the past morpheme) is duplicatedrsquo

Hiroki Koga 30 35

The lsquonon-pastrsquo forms of the verbsA previous study

An analysisSummary and implications

The proposed coda constraints are one for SpecialSounds Q R and N one for Geminate VCiCi and onefor Vowel Lengthened ViVi

Ranking Coda Constraint for Geminate prior to CodeConstraint for Vowel Lengthened in OT explains theblocking of the latter general constraint by the formerspecific constraint similarly to Bakovic 2013

Language and Theory The morpheme-basedmorphology or Item-Arrangement Approach withaffixesrsquo being the head and selecting verb stems fitsJapanese well which is an agglutinative language

Japanese If the corresponding vowel u to the verbstem final e is analyzed as the tense expletive (Kogaand Ono 2010 and Koga 2012) then we can explain thelsquonon-pastrsquo forms of dialects and old Japanese as wellas standard in a more straightforward manner

Summary and implications

SummaryWe provided the data of

the non-past forms of verbs in Japanese-Saga westerndialect in addition to Hayatarsquos 1998 observation of those inJapanese-Saga Takeo dialect in contrast with those ofJapanese Fukuoka-Yanagawa dialect and standardJapanesefurthermore 1) the non-past forms (or the pre-nominalforms and the sentence-final ones) of verbs in oldJapanese 2) the forms of the polite affix and 3) thenon-past forms of the n-consonant-final base verb sin inJapanese-Yamaguchi dialect

Hiroki Koga 28 35

The lsquonon-pastrsquo forms of the verbsA previous study

An analysisSummary and implications

It was shown that Hayata 1998 cannot capture thedifference between the geminate consonant and thelengthened vowel corresponding to the final rursquos of thelsquonon-pastrsquo forms of the verbs

We argued in favorthat the vowel u corresponding to the stem final e isNOT a part of the verb stem andthat it is NOT the same as that of the potential verb e inold Japanese

Hiroki Koga 29 35

The lsquonon-pastrsquo forms of the verbsA previous study

An analysisSummary and implications

We proposed an OT explanation with three coda constraintsand a faithfulness constraint in Koga and Onorsquos 2010morpheme-based morphology

The plural stems for some lexemes of the verbs andaffixes as morphemes selecting verb stems areassumed in the morphological frameworkThe vowel u corresponding to the stem final e is themorpheme of the tense expletive as well as thesequence ru isThe tense expletive (or the unmarked tense morphemein contrast with the past morpheme) is duplicatedrsquo

Hiroki Koga 30 35

The lsquonon-pastrsquo forms of the verbsA previous study

An analysisSummary and implications

The proposed coda constraints are one for SpecialSounds Q R and N one for Geminate VCiCi and onefor Vowel Lengthened ViVi

Ranking Coda Constraint for Geminate prior to CodeConstraint for Vowel Lengthened in OT explains theblocking of the latter general constraint by the formerspecific constraint similarly to Bakovic 2013

The lsquonon-pastrsquo forms of the verbsA previous study

An analysisSummary and implications

It was shown that Hayata 1998 cannot capture thedifference between the geminate consonant and thelengthened vowel corresponding to the final rursquos of thelsquonon-pastrsquo forms of the verbs

We argued in favorthat the vowel u corresponding to the stem final e isNOT a part of the verb stem andthat it is NOT the same as that of the potential verb e inold Japanese

Hiroki Koga 29 35

The lsquonon-pastrsquo forms of the verbsA previous study

An analysisSummary and implications

We proposed an OT explanation with three coda constraintsand a faithfulness constraint in Koga and Onorsquos 2010morpheme-based morphology

The plural stems for some lexemes of the verbs andaffixes as morphemes selecting verb stems areassumed in the morphological frameworkThe vowel u corresponding to the stem final e is themorpheme of the tense expletive as well as thesequence ru isThe tense expletive (or the unmarked tense morphemein contrast with the past morpheme) is duplicatedrsquo

The proposed coda constraints are one for SpecialSounds Q R and N one for Geminate VCiCi and onefor Vowel Lengthened ViVi

Ranking Coda Constraint for Geminate prior to CodeConstraint for Vowel Lengthened in OT explains theblocking of the latter general constraint by the formerspecific constraint similarly to Bakovic 2013

Is the replaced u a part of the stem

If the vowel u replacing the stem final e (and thestem final i in old Japanese) were a part of anotherstem then this would apply to the Yamaguchi nconsonant-final verb and so sinu would be anotherstem

Summary and implications

SummaryWe provided the data of

the non-past forms of verbs in Japanese-Saga westerndialect in addition to Hayatarsquos 1998 observation of those inJapanese-Saga Takeo dialect in contrast with those ofJapanese Fukuoka-Yanagawa dialect and standardJapanesefurthermore 1) the non-past forms (or the pre-nominalforms and the sentence-final ones) of verbs in oldJapanese 2) the forms of the polite affix and 3) thenon-past forms of the n-consonant-final base verb sin inJapanese-Yamaguchi dialect

Hiroki Koga 28 35

The lsquonon-pastrsquo forms of the verbsA previous study

An analysisSummary and implications

It was shown that Hayata 1998 cannot capture thedifference between the geminate consonant and thelengthened vowel corresponding to the final rursquos of thelsquonon-pastrsquo forms of the verbs

We argued in favorthat the vowel u corresponding to the stem final e isNOT a part of the verb stem andthat it is NOT the same as that of the potential verb e inold Japanese

Hiroki Koga 29 35

The lsquonon-pastrsquo forms of the verbsA previous study

An analysisSummary and implications

We proposed an OT explanation with three coda constraintsand a faithfulness constraint in Koga and Onorsquos 2010morpheme-based morphology

The plural stems for some lexemes of the verbs andaffixes as morphemes selecting verb stems areassumed in the morphological frameworkThe vowel u corresponding to the stem final e is themorpheme of the tense expletive as well as thesequence ru isThe tense expletive (or the unmarked tense morphemein contrast with the past morpheme) is duplicatedrsquo

Hiroki Koga 30 35

The lsquonon-pastrsquo forms of the verbsA previous study

An analysisSummary and implications

The proposed coda constraints are one for SpecialSounds Q R and N one for Geminate VCiCi and onefor Vowel Lengthened ViVi

Ranking Coda Constraint for Geminate prior to CodeConstraint for Vowel Lengthened in OT explains theblocking of the latter general constraint by the formerspecific constraint similarly to Bakovic 2013

Japanese If the corresponding vowel u to the verbstem final e is analyzed as the tense expletive (Kogaand Ono 2010 and Koga 2012) then we can explain thelsquonon-pastrsquo forms of dialects and old Japanese as wellas standard in a more straightforward manner

It was shown that Hayata 1998 cannot capture thedifference between the geminate consonant and thelengthened vowel corresponding to the final rursquos of thelsquonon-pastrsquo forms of the verbs

We argued in favorthat the vowel u corresponding to the stem final e isNOT a part of the verb stem andthat it is NOT the same as that of the potential verb e inold Japanese

The lsquonon-pastrsquo forms of the verbsA previous study

An analysisSummary and implications

We proposed an OT explanation with three coda constraintsand a faithfulness constraint in Koga and Onorsquos 2010morpheme-based morphology

The plural stems for some lexemes of the verbs andaffixes as morphemes selecting verb stems areassumed in the morphological frameworkThe vowel u corresponding to the stem final e is themorpheme of the tense expletive as well as thesequence ru isThe tense expletive (or the unmarked tense morphemein contrast with the past morpheme) is duplicatedrsquo

The proposed coda constraints are one for SpecialSounds Q R and N one for Geminate VCiCi and onefor Vowel Lengthened ViVi

Ranking Coda Constraint for Geminate prior to CodeConstraint for Vowel Lengthened in OT explains theblocking of the latter general constraint by the formerspecific constraint similarly to Bakovic 2013

The proposed coda constraints are one for SpecialSounds Q R and N one for Geminate VCiCi and onefor Vowel Lengthened ViVi

Ranking Coda Constraint for Geminate prior to CodeConstraint for Vowel Lengthened in OT explains theblocking of the latter general constraint by the formerspecific constraint similarly to Bakovic 2013

Japanese If the corresponding vowel u to the verbstem final e is analyzed as the tense expletive (Kogaand Ono 2010 and Koga 2012) then we can explain thelsquonon-pastrsquo forms of dialects and old Japanese as wellas standard in a more straightforward manner
