MIXED PARADIGMS IN SOME ITALO-ROMANCE VARIETIES: A MORPHOLOGICAL APPROACHThis paper addresses the problem of mixed paradigms, i.e. cases of intraparadigmatic auxiliary alternation (esse/habere), as attested in some Italo-Romance varieties. It aims to show that, in some specific cases, auxiliary selection ceases to be motivated on syntactic grounds, where the traditional active/inactive verb classes are opposed, and begins to operate on a purely morphological basis. The paper represents one of the first attempts to deal with the issue of mixed paradigms in morphological terms. The aim is to show that auxiliary alternation within one and the same paradigm may follow both motivated and coherent patterns of distribution (e.g., singular versus plural) and unmotivated patterns of distribution, traditionally termed ' morphomic ' . This article thus intends to put forward yet another case of morphologization of previously motivated distributional patterns.Keywords: mixed paradigms; auxiliary selection; Italo-Romance varieties; inflection; periphrasis; lexical splits; morphomes; morphologization Parole chiave: paradigmi misti; selezione dell ' ausiliare; varietà italo-romanze; f lessione; perifrasi; suddivisione lessicale; morfoma; morfologizzazione IntroduzioneQuesto articolo 1 rappresenta un primo tentativo, necessariamente ridotto alle sue linee principali, di considerare il fenomeno dei paradigmi misti in una prospettiva esclusivamente morfologica, sulla scia di quanto affermato, a varie riprese, da Loporca-1 Il presente saggio rientra nell ' ambito del progetto di ricerca GAČR 16-00236S (Paradigmi misti in alcune varietà italo-romanze), finanziato dalla Czech Science Foundation.

“…They can be viewed as generalisations of Bonami and Boyé's [12] stem spaces (and before them [52]), which, in turn, are correspond to stem pattern in this model. With such a formalism, various competing analyses for the same data can be designed, implemented, and therefore quantitatively evaluated with a suitable complexity measure.…”

Abstract. Non-canonical inflection (suppletion, deponency, heteroclisis. . . ) is extensively studied in theoretical approaches to morphology. However, these studies often lack practical implementations associated with large-scale lexica. Yet these are precisely the requirements for objective comparative studies on the complexity of morphological descriptions. We show how a model of inflectional morphology which can represent many non-canonical phenomena [67], as well as a formalisation and an implementation thereof can be used to evaluate the complexity of competing morphological descriptions. After illustrating the properties of the model with data about French, Latin, Italian, Persian and Sorani Kurdish verbs and about noun classes from Croatian and Slovak we expose experiments conducted on the complexity of four competing descriptions of French verbal inflection. The complexity is evaluated using the information-theoretic concept of description length. We show that the new concepts introduced in the model by [67] enable reducing the complexity of morphological descriptions w.r.t. both traditional or more recent models.

“…By contrast, irregular verbs are those displaying more than one form of the root. Pirrelli & Battista (2000) show that Italian verbs display up to four distinct allomorphs of the root within PrInd. 7 In their analysis, g-verbs fall into a "small subclass of verbs" that have three allomorphs of the roots: this subclass is characterized by both g-insertion and diphthongization.…”

“…2 In contemporary Modern Italian, the regular form svello 1sg exists, too. This verb is extremely rare: to wit, Pirrelli & Battista (2000) don't mention svellere among the g-verbs. 3 Serianni (1989: 457-461) mentions five verbs: those selected by Napoli & Vogel and salire 'get in,go up'.…”

“…Thus, according to Maiden, g-verbs are subject to a morphomic paradigmatic pressure. Paradigmatic pressure as the cause of allomorphic variation has been advocated since Rohlfs (1968: §535-536 Pirrelli & Battista (2000) and Burzio (2004). Pirrelli and Battista claim that the allomorphic variations displayed by the Italian verbs result from a function of paradigmatic information: for instance, a g-verb is the function connecting tenere to three distinct cells in the PrInd paradigm.…”

A morphophonological analysis of the velar insert in Italian verbs

This paper analyzes a particular group of Italian irregular verbs that are characterized by the insertion of [g] between the root and the inflectional markers. Despite the apparent unetymological status of such a velar insert (Rohlfs 1968), it is shown that the allomorphy of the root depends on the internal organization of the segmental material with respect to a fixed template made of a strict alternation of onsets (C) and nuclei (V). The analyses are couched within the CVCV framework (Lowenstamm 1996;Scheer 2004) and are consistent with a syntactic approach to word-formation such as Distributed Morphology (Halle & Marantz 1993;Embick 2010).
