Abstract:
Matu’uwal is an Atayal dialect spoken in Miaoli county. In this talk, I will
present the different synchronic and diachronic phonological alternations in
Matu’uwal, mainly in its vowels, using both rule-based and constraint-based
phonology.
Matu’uwal has two main synchronic vowel changes: rhythmic vowel weakening,
and hiatus resolution. Rhythmic vowel weakening applies to the leftmost vowel
in all feet except the rightmost foot, changing it to a schwa or fully
deleting it in the environment VC_CV. Hiatus resolution coalesces the hiatuses
/a.a/, /u.u/, and /i.i/ into single vowels /a/, /u/, and /i/ outside the head
foot: e.g. /ka.al/ + -un > kalun ‘to speak (PV)’. The interactions between
the different vowel alternating processes are at times quite complex: they
interact with each other in ways that are opaque when looking at the surface
form.
Matu’uwal vowel alternations present a conundrum, as they exhibit both
counterbleeding opacity and also surface-oriented behaviour limitations. Rule-
based phonology can account for opacity, but not surface-oriented behaviour.
On the other hand, constraint-based phonology is helpful with surface-oriented
phenomena, but may struggle with opacity. These are a great real-life
examples of the advantages and limitations of each theoretical approach.
