Abstract

It is proposed that the alternations ā ∼ a and a ∼ Ø in the stem-final syllable of Sanskrit nominals such as rā´jān- ‘king’ and dātār- ‘giver’ are due to rules of shortening and syncope. If so, those alternations provide no support, contrary to claims in the literature, for a framework in which stem alternants are associated with “morphomic indices” by stem-indexing rules and, more generally, no support for a purely morphological level of representation mediating between morphosyntax and morphophonology. To the contrary, it is claimed, postulation of such a level in the Sanskrit case both complicates the grammatical architecture needlessly and obstructs the statement of phonological generalizations.

没有词素的梵文名义词干等级
有人提出,在梵语名词的词干最后一个音节中,如rā jān-“国王”和dātār-“给予者”的变化是由于缩短和晕厥的规则。如果是这样的话,与文献中声称的相反,这些交替没有提供任何支持,在这个框架中,通过茎索引规则将茎交替与“形态指数”联系起来,更一般地说,没有支持在形态句法和形态音素之间调解的纯粹形态学水平的表示。相反,有人声称,在梵语的情况下,这种水平的假设既不必要地使语法结构复杂化,又阻碍了语音概括的陈述。
