| Summary: | This study focuses on discontinuous partial reduplication in Perak Malay. The base-initial CV and final segment of the base are copied as reduplicant, leaving behind some base-medial segments not being copied in consonant-final bases. This is motivated by the Anchoring constraint. The occurrence of the neutralized vowel in the reduplicant is instantiated by Reduce while all base vowels are faithfully realized due to Id-IO(F). On the contrary, only CV of the base is copied in vowel-final bases due to *VH to prohibit the copy of the base-final vowel. In Standard Malay, the reduplicant copies the base-final syllable intact. This is explained by high-ranked faithfulness constraints and OCP-PM which bans the copy of the base-initial syllable. The different copying patterns in two Malay dialects are accounted for by re-ranking relevant constraints. KCI Citation Count: 0 |
