AbstractThis paper provides a complete, exclusively phonological account of the alternations in the paradigms of the two largest verbal types in the Ethio-Semitic language Tigre. It is proposed that “weakfinal” verbs are constructed using the same templates and vocalizations as “strong” verbs. All of the differences between the two inflectional paradigms follow from weak-final verbs involving a vowel /e/ where strong verbs position a consonant. The analysis, conducted with the tools of Strict CV Phonology and Element Theory, is the first of its kind for Tigre.

Tigre 弱词尾和强动词的屈折变化

摘要本文对埃塞俄比亚-闪米特语 Tigre 中两种最大语言类型的范式交替进行了完整的、专门的语音解释。建议使用与“强”动词相同的模板和发声来构造“弱最终”动词。两种屈折范式之间的所有差异都源于涉及元音 /e/ 的弱词尾动词，其中强动词定位辅音。使用 Strict CV Phonology 和 Element Theory 工具进行的分析是 Tigre 的首次此类分析。
