AbstractThis paper sheds light on the treatment of initial gemination in Qassimi Arabic (QA), a Najdi dialect spoken in the Al-Qassim region in central Saudi Arabia, within the framework of Parallelism, an Optimality Theory (OT) model. The study concludes that initial geminates, which are non-actual surface forms in QA, result from the assimilation of the prefix /t-/ to stem-initial consonants of Arabic verb forms II and III, as well as hollow verbs, to avoid violation of the Obligatory Contour Principle (OCP). On the other hand, initial semisyllables, as moraic consonants, originate from initial gemination and consequently motivate prosthesis; that is, the purpose of prosthesis is to affiliate a semisyllable to the syllable node without causing violation of the Strict Layer Hypothesis (SLH). Sequences of assimilation of prefix /t-/ plus prosthesis do not occur simultaneously, whereas regressive assimilation feeds the prosthetic vowel [i], which, in turn, feeds the prosthetic glottal stop [ʔ] to concur with the Onset Principle. These sequences thus indicate transparent rule interactions, that is, feeding. Parallel OT is then successfully utilized to account for this type of phonological derivation.

卡西米阿拉伯语中作为非实际表面形式的初始宝石

摘要本文阐明了在最优理论 (OT) 模型并行性框架内处理沙特阿拉伯中部 Al-Qassim 地区使用的纳吉迪方言 Qassimi Arabic (QA) 的初始宝石生成。该研究得出的结论是,在 QA 中,作为非实际表面形式的声母 geminates 是由于将前缀 /t-/ 同化为阿拉伯语动词形式 II 和 III 以及空心动词的词干声母,以避免违反强制等高线原则 (OCP)。另一方面,作为moraic辅音的声母半音节起源于声母gemination并因此激发假体;也就是说,prosthesis的目的是在不违反严格层假设(SLH)的情况下将一个半音节关联到音节节点。前缀 /t-/ 加假体的同化序列不会同时发生,而回归同化作用于假元音 [i],而后者又作用于假声门塞 [ʔ] 以符合起始原则。因此,这些序列表示透明的规则交互,即喂食。然后成功地利用平行 OT 来解释这种类型的语音推导。
