Swati and Kikuyu reduplication evidence against exhaustive copy

This paper addresses the central question of deriving shape-invariance of partial reduplication in two competing models of reduplication: Selective Copy [McCarthy and Prince 1986, 1988, and 1990] and Exhaustive Copy [Steriade 1988]. I show that the core difference lies in the fact that whereas Selec...
