Abstract
RUEDA CHAVES, John E.. The segmental level and morphophonological processes in the Mixtec of San Jerónimo de Xayacatlán. Cuad. Lingüíst. Col. Méx. [online]. 2023, vol.10, e216. Epub Mar 22, 2024. ISSN 2007-736X. https://doi.org/10.24201/clecm.v10i00.216.
This paper provides a description of the morphophonological processes of the segmental level in the Mixtec of San Jerónimo de Xayacatlán. Consonantal and vowel alternations in verbs are approached from a diachronic and synchronic perspective to explain how fossilization and minimality accounts for allomorphy. Realizational morphology explains how mood-aspect and person features are manifested as phonological alterations in minimal word boundary. The refined dual-route approach determines computation and solves analytic underdetermination problems that persist in descriptions. The minimal word is proposed as a morphophonological entity and domain. The conclusions of this work are intended to establish a tradition of studies on the morphophonology regarding this dialect, as well as all the other Mixtec languages.
Keywords : Morphophonology; interface; fossilization; morphophonological domain; exponent.
