Abstract The goals of the present paper are: to improve the reconstruction of Proto-Mojeño (PM) by reconstructing a synchronic morphophonological alternation; to provide a clearer picture of the relations between PM and some of its closest relatives and to better understand the historical development of the Trinitario dialect, arguably the least conservative of the attested varieties of Mojeño. I show here that an antecedent stage of PM, Pre-PM, was subject to a contextual merger (primary split or split-merger) of *k and *s, yielding a morphophonological alternation *k ~ *s in PM. Apparent exceptions to the Pre-PM change *k>s provide evidence for the reconstruction of a non-palatalizing contextual vowel, possibly *ɨ, that was merged with *i in PM and with e in Terena, possibly PM’s closest relative. A preliminary comparison of certain verb stem formatives and deverbal nominalizers in PM and Terena is also presented. Finally, I show that a context-dependent development involving k in the Trinitario dialect, this time a secondary split yielding the fricative ç, resulted in alternations k ~ ç, thus creating a second, diachronically separable layer of palatalization/coronalization in the phonology of Trinitario.

Mojeño（阿拉瓦坎州）的膜冠化历时

摘要本文的目的是：通过重构共时形态学交替来改进原始莫耶尼奥语（PM）的重构；为了更清楚地了解PM及其一些近亲之间的关系，并更好地了解Trinitario方言的历史发展，该方言可以说是Mojeño证明中最不保守的方言。我在这里展示了PM的前一个阶段，即Pre-PM，经历了* k和* s的上下文合并（主要拆分或拆分合并），从而在PM中产生了形态学上的交替* k〜* s。PM之前的变化* k>的明显例外为重建非轻度语境元音（可能为*ɨ）提供了证据，该元音与PM中的* i和可能与PM最亲近的Terena中的e合并。还对PM和Terena中的某些动词词干形成词和副词名词化词进行了初步比较。最后，我证明了在Trinitario方言中涉及k的上下文相关开发，这次是产生摩擦ç的二次分裂，导致k〜ç交替出现，从而在音韵学的语气/电化中创建了第二个可历时分离的层。 Trinitario。
