On the Formation of Tiberian Hebrew Imperatives, Evidence from Spirantization

This paper argues that imperatives in Tiberian Hebrew are not derived by truncation, but rather by a root-and-pattern association. The argument is based on spirantization, which behaves irregularly in truncated words, but not in imperatives. Tiberian Hebrew spirantization is a well-studied phenomeno...

520 |a This paper argues that imperatives in Tiberian Hebrew are not derived by truncation, but rather by a root-and-pattern association. The argument is based on spirantization, which behaves irregularly in truncated words, but not in imperatives. Tiberian Hebrew spirantization is a well-studied phenomenon within the phonology of the language, due to the fact that the generalizations associated with it are violated in so many instances., In Tiberian Hebrew, stops and spirants (fricatives) are in complementary distribution: spirants appear post-vocalically, and stops appear elsewhere. There are two main groups of exceptions to this generalization, both of which contribute to surface opacity of the rule. One is the plural segolates that involves cases in which spirantization is triggered by a so-called vowel that does not appear in the surface form and yields a post-consonantal spirant. The other class of exceptions to the canonical pattern is the truncated jussive and 2fs perfect stems. The purpose of this paper is to use these observations to determine the word formation of the imperative., The hypothesis is that truncation in Tiberian Hebrew yields phonological irregularities of spirantization in truncated words in order to mimic the base word. However, imperatives do not yield these phonological irregularities of spirantization in order to mimic the imperfective: yixtov ≈ k∂θov (and not *x∂tov). If the imperative is formed by truncation of the imperfective, then why does this truncation seem to act according to the regular phonological rules of the language?, The proposed solution is to view Tiberian Hebrew imperatives as an instance of traditional non-concatenative morphology, and not as a truncated form. If k∂θov is not derived from yixtov there is no reason for spirantization to mimic the imperfective form.
