In this language, metathesis\u2014when two segments switch linear position\u2014is morphologically productive and phonologically conditioned. Using data and analyses by Hume (1998) as a starting point, I build on the idea that metathesis is a process that simultaneously deletes a segment and inserts it in a new place, modeling this process using BMRS. In the case of Leti, in certain environments, a wordedge consonant deletes and inserts itself right before its preceding vowel. In contrast with Hume\u2019s optimality and correspondence theory-based analysis, however, BMRS can intuitively account for the environments and opaque phonological interactions driving Leti metathesis without having to appeal to linearity constraints and syllable-level representations, showing that Leti metathesis is a local process that applies to segments.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last month, one of our graduate students presented a paper at the Pacific Asia Conference on Language, Information, and Computation (PACLIC 38) in Tokyo, Japan.
