Syllabification and phonological rule application in Tashlhiyt Berber

Soutsane, Karima January 2008 (has links)
Tashlhiyt variety of Berber, spoken in the southern part of Morocco has drawn particular attention from phonologists for its admittance of complex consonant sequences and of vowelless phonological words. The way words should be analysed into syllable constituents in these cases is by no means trivial and depends on which segments are identified as nuclear. Dell & Elmedlaoui raised the question at the heart of the problem: 'are there languages in which any segment can occur as a syllable nucleus?' One such a language is the variety of Tashlhiyt Berber where even a voiceless stop may act as a syllable nucleus. The fact that any segment can form the nucleus of a syllable causes potential ambiguity in syllabification. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the process of syllabification through various phonological and morphological processes which are affected by the results drawn from the syllabification algorithm in the language.

L'énoncé averbal en allemand et en kabyle (berbère) / Non-verbal utterance in German and Kabyle (Berber)

Bouzidi, Said 10 July 2015 (has links)
Cette étude compare le fonctionnement de l’énoncé averbal (EAV) en kabyle et en allemand, en prenant comme cadre théorique la triade sémantico-logique établie par Zemb (1978), i. e. le thème (ce dont on parle), le rhème (ce qu’on en dit) et le phème (lieu d’articulation de la modalisation et de la négation) appliquée par Behr et Quintin (1996) et Behr (2013) à la catégorisation des EAV de l’allemand. Nous postulons que chaque langue dispose de moyens morphosyntaxiques, contextuelles et situationnelles contribuant à la réalisation d’EAV et que ces moyens sont plus étendus en kabyle. Nous supposons qu’il existe des structures sémantico-logiques uniques qui pourraient s’exprimer à travers des structures morphosyntaxiques variées. Nous supposons enfin que les EAV réalisent toutes les modalités, disposent de moyens morphologiques et/ ou contextuels permettant de les localiser dans le cadre temporel. Parmi les résultats, nous avons constaté que les EAV sont plus fréquents en kabyle grâce aux structures prédicatives grammaticalisées, sauf l’EAV représentant une continuité syntaxique avec le segment de gauche dont la fréquence en allemand est due au scrambling. Au niveau syntaxique, la pré-/postposition du thème par rapport au rhème obéit à des contraintes liées à la langue, i. e. l’état du nom en kabyle et la définitude du GN en allemand ; des contraintes propres à l’EAV se manifestent dans la prédilection pour l’ordre rhème-thème en allemand. Les EAV expriment toutes les modalités, ils sont situés dans le temps par les circonstants, certains démonstratifs ou le contexte, et les nominalisations en tant que rhème existentiel expriment l’aspectualité télique et atélique. / The study compares the functioning of non-verbal utterances in German and Kabyle (Berber) using the Zemb’s (1978) semantico-logical triad as a theoretical framework, i.e. the theme (what is being talked about), the rheme (what is said about the theme) and the phème (place of articulation of modalisation and negation), applied by Behr and Quintin (1996) and Behr (2013) to categorisation of German non-verbal utterances. We posit that each language has morphosyntactic, contextual and situational means allowing the construction of non-verbal utterances and that these means are more extensive in Kabyle.We also hypothesise that there are unique semantico-logical structures which could be expressed through varied morphosyntactical structures. Finally, we presume that non-verbal utterances express all the modalities; they have morphological and/ or contextual possibilities which locate them within the temporal framework. We have observed, among other results, that the frequency of non-verbal utterances is higher in Kabyle due to grammaticalized predicative structures, except for those depending syntactically on a main sentence, which could be explained by the scrambling-process. At the syntactic level, the pre-/postposition of the rheme in relation to the theme is subject to language specific constraints, i.e. changes in the noun state in Kabyle, the determination and definiteness in German; constraints concerning non-verbal utterances appear in the preference of the rheme-theme order in German. Non-verbal utterances express all modalities; they are located in time by circumstances, by some demonstratives or by the context, and nominalisations as existential rheme express telic and atelic aspectuality.
