This work develops a parallelist theory of word formation based on the notion of paradigmatic identity. Words related by morphology may be phonologically similar, beyond what is expected on the basis of their standard constituents, and achieving this similarity can lead to phonotactic violations.

This book explores cross linguistic variation in nasalization.

This book provides evidence for the importance of auditory properties of speech sounds in phonology. The basic evidence derives from phonological processes which group together classes of sounds which have no articulatory commonality, but do share auditory features. The book contains analyses of such phenomena drawn from diverse languages.

An investigation of the serial verb construction, this work engages central issues in syntactic theory-complex predicates, clausal architecture and syntactic variation.

Alderete examines the influences of morphological factors on stress and pitch accent within Optimality Theory.

This book examines turn-taking in English and Japanese conversations and political news interviews to investigate the relationship between language and interaction.

This book investigates the theory of locality within the framework of minimalism, with a special focus on restructuring and other related phenomena that exhibit an apparent violation of the strictly local conditions.

Manifestations of Genericity offers a unified analysis of minimally contrasting generic sentences with indefinite singular (IS) and bare plural (BP) subjects - as in A bird flies versus Birds fly - within the framework of formal semantics. Beyond the classic distinction between quantificational and kind predication genericity, there is another important distinction in the generic domain, namely the distinction between two types of quantificational, modalized (I-) generalization: in virtue of generalizations, expressed by both IS and BP sentences, and descriptive generalizations, expressed by...
