I describe and analyse data from Amarasi, a language with morphological consonant-vowel metathesis. Depending on the phonotactic structure of the stem to which it applies, metathesis is associated with a number of other phonological processes including: vowel deletion, consonant deletion and two kinds of vowel assimilation. By proposing that Amarasi has an obligatory CVCVC foot in which C-slots can be empty all these phonological processes can be derived from a single process of metathesis and one associated morphemically conditioned process. I consider analyses other than the rule-based one adopted in this paper and show that they cannot account for all the data in a consistent, plausible way.

阿马拉西复分解的形态和语音

我描述和分析了Amarasi的数据，Amarasi是一种具有形态辅音元音置换的语言。根据其所应用的茎的音韵结构，复分解与许多其他语音过程相关，包括：元音缺失，辅音缺失和两种元音同化。通过提出Amarasi有一个强制性的CVCVC脚，其中C槽可以为空，所有这些语音过程可以从单个复分解过程和一个相关的词素条件过程中得出。我认为除了本文采用的基于规则的分析以外，其他分析都表明，它们无法以一致，合理的方式解释所有数据。
