| Description | The talk discusses Bobaljik’s (2012:4) “Root Suppletion Generalization” (RSG). The generalization says that adjectival root suppletion can be triggered only by comparative/superlative markers that are in the same word as the root. Bobaljik captures RSG by a new condition on allomorphy, according to which phrasal nodes block allomorphy; in other words, allomorphy is restricted to relations within a complex head. |
