Formació hipocorística en gujarati

Autors/ores

Resum

Aquest treball examina la morfologia i fonologia de la formació d’hipocorístics en gujarati, una llengua indoària, en el marc de la Teoria de l’Optimitat i amb l’aplicació de la teoria de la Morfologia Prosòdica (McCarthy & Prince 1986). La intenció del parlant que utilitza un hipocorístic per adreçar-se a algú pot anar des de l’afecte a l’enuig, el menyspreu o la ira. Conseqüentment, hi ha diferents tipus de formes hipocorístiques en la llengua. Els hipocorístics del gujarati es formen pel truncament d’un nom personal, afegint un sufix al nom de persona o afegint un sufix al nom de la persona truncat. Es poden classificar segons el sufix afegit i el grau de truncament que presenten. Les dades mostren que el procés de formació d’hipocorístics’ adiu amb la hipòtesi de la Morfologia Prosòdica (McCarthy & Prince 1990) ja que la base és sempre una unitat prosòdica: una síl·laba pesant (CVC) o un mot prosòdic, que satisfan la Template Satisfaction Condition.
