Morphophonology for the Kildin analyser
For the (paradigmatic and regular) morphophonological processes we use the twol technology. Here is the Kildin twol file.
Paradigmatic morphophonological processes concern:
- stem consonants
- consonant gradation
- (de-)palatalization
- consonant gradation
- stem vowels (i.e. ablaut).
Regular (phonological) processes concern:
- stem vowels (i.e. umlaut)
- second syllable vowels (deletion)
- suffixes (vowel deletion or consonant insertion)
The TWOLC file contains the following rules
- Consonant gradation rules:
- "Quantitative CG"
- "Quantitative CG 2-Cns Cluster"
- "Quantitative CG 3-Cns Cluster"
- "Quantitative CG"
- Vowel rules:
- "Epenthetic vowel deletion"
- "ue Diphtongisation"
- "Epenthetic vowel deletion"
- Palatalisation rules:
- "Palatalised Suffix Vowel"
- "Palatal Mark Deletion"
- "Palatalised Suffix Vowel"
Note that these rules are not at all finished.
The consonant gradation rules cover only some cases:
- вв: в, лл: л, сс: с, зз: з
- дт: т, рр: р
- ррн: рн
The palatalisation rules governs the alternation between word-final consonant + ь and consonant + palatal vowel.
