A fresh perspective of the phonology-morphology interface and the interaction between segmental and metrical structure with wider cross-linguistic implications is developed, including a new conception of morphological conditioning based on morphological faithfulness and Representation as Pure Markedness. The Chamorro data collected for this study contribute significantly to the documentation of this endangered language.","brand":"De Gruyter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47054367719664,"sku":"9783484304161","price":154.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9783484304161_p0.jpg?v=1763724501","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9783484304161","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
