  1. Past tense forms in English • stopped, walked, coughed, kissed, leashed, reached • stabbed, wagged, achieved, buzzed, soothed, bridged • steamed, stunned, pulled • played, flowed, studied • wanted, located, decided, guided

  2. The regular past tense form in English is pronounced as [t] when the word ends with a voiceless consonant, [d] when it ends with a voiced sound, and [ɪd] when it ends with [t] or [d].

  3. Plural rule • z   / [-voice, +cons]______ (Devoicing) •   /咝擦音_____z (增音) • z  z 剩余位置

  4. Obligatory Contour Principle (OCP) • Obligatory Contour Principle • No identical adjacent autosegments. (Goldsmith 1976)

  5. 3. Non-linear Phonology • These theories began as a method for representing prosodic features such the stress in complex words, so that their different levels of stress are represented not by linear orders but by a metrical grid:

  6. Later the method was extended to the representation of earlier linear rules.

  7. Feature Geometry

  8. Plural rule (1) [+cons] [+cons] [-son] root [-son] plural z Laryngeal Laryngeal [-voice] [+voice]

  9. Plural rule (2) Ø  X /X____________X [-cons] [+cons] [+cons] [+strid] [+strid] [COR] [COR]

  10. Past tense rule (1) [+cons] [+cons] [-son] root [-son] past d Laryngeal Laryngeal [-voice] [+voice]

  11. Past tense rule (2) Ø  X /X__________X [-cons] [+cons] [+cons] [-cont] [-cont] [-nas] [-nas]

  12. 4. OT • The ranking of the constraints is represented by a “tableau”.

  13. Review of some constraints • *VOICEVOICE:consecutive obstruents must be identical in voicing within a syllable. • DEP-IO:insertion of segment is prohibited. • IDENT-IO:input segment and the corresponding output must be identical. • OCP:No identical adjacent autosegments.
