Frequency, cyclicity, and optimality

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This paper reconsiders cyclicity in English. Specifically the relationship of frequency to cyclic stress is examined and it is shown that more frequent derived words are less likely to exhibit cyclic effects. In addition, cyclic effects are less likely if the base form is more frequent. These effects of frequency are confirmed by the behavior of Latinate prefixes. The effects can be modeled by adopting lexically-restricted markedness constraints, arguing against previous analyses of English (Pater 2000) and against the theoretical position that only correspondence constraints can be lexically restricted (Itô and Mester 1999).
