Short Paper Assignment (for students enrolled in 3 credits): Please turn in no later than Tuesday October 22, 2024 (in class). Please print your assignment and hand it in to me.
For this assignment, choose a morpho-phonological data set and provide an analysis of it. Your analysis should formalize the analysis using the logical transductions we have studied in class. Chapters 7 through 14 in Part 2 of DCP/DPC are samples of the kind of short paper expected. It is not necessary to compare your formalization to some other framework. It is necessary to be clear about the representations you are positing in the underlying and surface forms.
You may not choose one of the datasets in chapters 7 through 14 (unless you are proposing a radically different analysis.) You may choose a dataset you have previously analyzed using a different set of formal tools (such as with rules or OT). For example, datasets from Phonology 1 or 2 can be used, or even a dataset from an undergraduate phonology class or introductory textbook. You may choose a dataset you have collected, but such original research is not the purpose of this assignment, and may be more appropriate for a final project.
