| Research Abstract |
The present research project attempts to shed light on phonological properties which serve as principles controlling the well-formedness of prosody-based morphology in Japanese. Because a large majority of Japanese prosodic morphology appears both in mimetic vocabulary and in loanwords, I have mainly examined the morpho-phonological processes observed in these two lexical categories. Based on some theoretical notions developed in the framework of generative phonology, I discovered quite a few interesting phonological mechanisms underlying various types of phenomena. In particular, I did an in-depth investigation of the mechanism of constraint interaction, which exerts a profound effect on grammatical evaluation of output forms. As the main result of the inquiry, I found a notable tendency that unmarked structure is definitely favored as an optimal output pattern of various kinds of prosody-based morphology in Japanese. This is in full accordance with recent theoretical results developed in Optimality Theory.
