Abstract

This paper shows that the locality effects exhibited by the prefix concord in Saaroa, a Formosan language, cannot be fully explained by purely syntactic operations (e.g., AGREE). Instead, I suggest Saaroa prefix concord be viewed as contextual allomorphy whose locality properties are predicted by the C<subscript>1-LIN</subscript> theory (Embick 2010). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
