Output-conditioned and non-local allomorphy in Armenian theme vowels

Hossep Dolatian · 2022

Catalogue summary

Western Armenian theme vowel alternation is presented as both output-conditioned and non-local: unstressed -i becomes -e, while past tense can trigger the change across an auxiliary and even under suspended affixation.

Why this matters

The counterexample challenges restrictive models of morphological allomorphy and gives theoretical linguistics detailed evidence from Western Armenian.
