Abstract

<p>In this paper, I argue that certain templatic effects in Southern Sierra Miwok (SSM) follow from affixation of moras and underspecified segments. Such an analysis avoids the assumptions of syllabified X-Slots in the representation of morphemes that previous analyses for SSM argue for (Sloan 1991). In contrast, my optimalitytheoretic analysis predicts the templatic restrictions over whole strings of segments through the affixation of segment-sized phonological elements.</p>
