Replication Data for: Superadditive cumulativity in categorical prosodic patterns: Prosodic minimality in Bosnian/Croatian/Montenegrin/Serbian

This paper presents a case of superadditive ganging-up cumulativity in the metrical phonology of Bosnian/Croatian/Motenegrin/Serbian (BCMS). BCMS individually permits monomoraic feet and feet with a toneless head mora, but prohibits toneless monomoraic feet. Across BCMS dialects, several prosodic processes conspire against this doubly-marked structure. Due to the superadditive character of this interaction, both Optimality Theory and, importantly, Harmonic Grammar necessitate local constraint conjunction to capture the ban on toneless monomoraic feet in BCMS. This demonstration constitutes evidence for conjoined constraints in weighted constraint grammar. The study contributes to the typology of cumulativity effects by documenting superadditive ganging in a categorical prosodic pattern, with virtually all previously reported cases of superadditivity being observed in variable phonological patterns.
