    • The lexicon has its grammar, which the grammar knows nothing of. Marginal contrast and phonological theory 

      Bye, Patrik (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)
      Marginal phonemes exploit systemically latent possibilities of contrast but have unusual lexical distributions characterized by clustering according to expressive function or morphological structure. This paper discusses examples of marginal contrast from several languages and shows that, despite initial appearances, it is not possible to confine marginally contrasting items to well-defined ...

    • Mapping Innovations in North Germanic with GIS 

      Bye, Patrik (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2011-11-17)
      The mapping of innovations, as opposed to taxonomic features, has so far been little used in historical linguistics and dialect geography. Here I show with two examples from Peninsular North Germanic how linguistic theory may cast light on complex mosaics of geographically competing features and how dialect geography can help choose between competing reconstructions. This research builds on a database ...

    • Non-concatenative morphology as epiphenomenon 

      Svenonius, Peter; Bye, Patrik (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2011)
      Non-concatenative morphological phenomena appear on the face of it to require a powerful morphological component, capable of more than straightforward addition of affixes consisting of segmental material. The chapter proposes that the full range of non-concatenative phenomena may be completely accounted for in piece-based terms using analytical tools that are independently necessary. These phenomena ...

    • Stem Alternations in the Passive in Sierra Miwok 

      Bye, Patrik; Svenonius, Peter (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2021)
      Central Sierra Miwok (CSM; Freeland1951) is described as having root-and-template morphology (for a recent approach and further references, see Downing 2006). There are four stem forms, referred to by number, and identified by their place in the conjugational paradigms. The exact form of each stem depends on the phonological shape of the root, specifically whether it contains two or three consonants ...
