Marantz (2013): Locality Domains for Contextual Allomorphy Across the Interfaces #

This file formalizes the locality claim of [Mar13]: contextual allosemy, the choice of a polysemous root's meaning in context, is bounded exactly as contextual allomorphy is, by the spell-out domain of the first category head and by adjacency at the interface, phonological for allomorphy and semantic for allosemy. Past tense conditions the root of taught across a null v but not the root of quantized across -ize; a second category head closes the domain, as -er, -ness, and the verb made from the noun house show; global fixes the reading globalize cannot revert. The heads of the examples with their nullness at each interface (Head, Morpheme, cyclic, phonNull, semNull) and the words with the head whose conditioning is at issue (Row, rows) give the results: attested conditioning is visible at its interface and blocked conditioning is not (allomorphy_rows, allosemy_rows), idioms live below Voice in a domain that neither contains nor is contained in the root's (idiom_rows, domains_cross_cut), and a head that conditions the root is the first category head or noncyclic with only null heads below it (strong_prediction).

Implementation notes #

The words are the rows of Data/Examples/Marantz2013, the examples of (1) to (3) and (5) to (7) and Table 6.1 of the chapter; the locality predicates are those of Morphology/DistributedMorphology/Locality.

                                          theorem Marantz2013.allomorphy_rows (r : Row) :
                                          r ∈ rows → ∀ (c : Claim), r.allomorphy = some c → (r.spine.SeesRoot cyclic phonNull r.trigger ↔ c = Claim.attested)

                                          Allomorphy ((1)–(3), §6.2): the trigger conditions root allomorphy iff it is local and every head between them is phonologically null.

                                          theorem Marantz2013.allosemy_rows (r : Row) :
                                          r ∈ rows → ∀ (c : Claim), r.allosemy = some c → (r.spine.SeesRoot cyclic semNull r.trigger ↔ c = Claim.attested)

                                          Allosemy (§6.2–6.4): the trigger fixes a special root meaning iff it is local and every head between them is semantically null — so an overt but semantically null verbalizer lets a noncyclic participle or continuative reach the root, and an overt adjectivizer blocks it.

                                          Idiom (§6.3): the idiomatic nationalize lies below any external argument, though its v is not local to the root.

                                          The two domains cross-cut: past tense is local to the root of taught but above Voice, and the v of nationalize is below Voice but outside the root's domain.

                                          theorem Marantz2013.strong_prediction {s : DistributedMorphology.ComplexHead DistributedMorphology.Root Morpheme} {null : Morpheme → Prop} {i : Fin s.heads.length} (h : s.SeesRoot cyclic null i) :
                                          (∀ j < i, null s.heads[j]) ∧ (cyclic s.heads[i] → ∀ j < i, ¬cyclic s.heads[j])

                                          The strong prediction (§6.5): whatever conditions the root across an intervening head sees only null heads below it, and if it is itself a category head it is the first.
