Weak Prepositions in Tortosan Catalan : alternation of Prepositions, Allomorphy or Phonological Process

In this paper, starting from a brief analysis of weak prepositions in Tortosan. I try to show that the preposition a is the only one appearing in adjunct and indirect object PPs. This forces us to account for the form [an] which this preposition takes in certain contexts: specifically when it is fol...

I try to show that the preposition a is the only one appearing in adjunct and indirect object PPs. This forces us to account for the form [an] which this preposition takes in certain contexts: specifically when it is followed by a vowel initial determiner or pronoun. After considering the alternative of accounting for the relation between the preposition a and the form [an] either in terms of prepositional allomorphy or in terms of epenthesis of the coronal nasal, I have chosen the latter option, since it allows us to explain similar processes affecting other prepositions (contra 'against', cap a 'towards' and per a 'for') and the privative prefix a. Optimal syllabification (CV syllable), which is a preferred but not obligatory condition in Catalan, would be, in its formulation as the Onset Principle, the trigger for this process of consonantic epenthesis, which essentially affects the domain [clitic+word] when the former is a determiner.En aquest article, i a partir d'una anàlisi breu de les preposicions febles del dialecte tortosí, intento demostrar que la preposició a és l'única que apareix en els complements circumstancials i en els indirectes. Aixb implica explicar la forma [an] que realitza l'esmentada preposició en certs contextos: concretament quan va seguida d'un determinant o d'un pronom començats en vocal. Davant la doble possibilitat d'explicar la relació entre la preposició a i la forma [an]: al·lomorfia preposicional i epèntesi de la vocal nasal, m'he decantat per aquesta segona via, ja que permet d'explicar processos similars que afecten altres preposicions (contra, cap a i per a) i el prefix privatiu a. La sil·labificació òptima (síl·laba CV) -preferent, però no obligatòria en català mitjançant l' Onset Principle, seria la causa d'aquest procés d'epèntesi consonàntica, que afecta bàsicament l'àmbit [clític+mot] quant el primer és un determinant. 11996-01-0119961996-01-01Articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501VoRhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://ddd.uab.cat/record/21213reponame:Dipòsit Digital de Documents de la UABinstname:Universitat Autònoma de BarcelonaInglésengopen accesshttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2Aquest material està protegit per drets d'autor i/o drets afins.

description In this paper, starting from a brief analysis of weak prepositions in Tortosan. I try to show that the preposition a is the only one appearing in adjunct and indirect object PPs. This forces us to account for the form [an] which this preposition takes in certain contexts: specifically when it is followed by a vowel initial determiner or pronoun. After considering the alternative of accounting for the relation between the preposition a and the form [an] either in terms of prepositional allomorphy or in terms of epenthesis of the coronal nasal, I have chosen the latter option, since it allows us to explain similar processes affecting other prepositions (contra 'against', cap a 'towards' and per a 'for') and the privative prefix a. Optimal syllabification (CV syllable), which is a preferred but not obligatory condition in Catalan, would be, in its formulation as the Onset Principle, the trigger for this process of consonantic epenthesis, which essentially affects the domain [clitic+word] when the former is a determiner.
