Little-v0 Agreement and Templatic Morphology in Ch’olResearch Paper • July 26th, 2016
With this background in place, we now return to the connection to vowel-initial roots, the CVC requirement, and the location of the ergative morpheme. In particular I argue, following work cited above and discussed in detail in Bennett (to appear), that these roots are underlyingly vowel initial—/VC/—and that the glottal stop is epenthetic, inserted to satisfy the CVC templatic requirement. Following the general templatic proposal, I assume that if a vowel initial root like
