Abstract
In this contribution we discuss diachronic and variationist aspects of
morphonotactics, a new research
field that we have tried to establish over the
last years (cf. Dressler & Dziubalska-Kołaczyk 2006). Morphonotactics is the
area of interaction between morphotactics and phonotactics and represents
a subfield of morphonology, which in turn is the area of interaction between
morphology and phonology (cf. Dressler 1985, 1996). We claim that in this
interaction morphotactics typically creates phonotactically marked structures
which occur never or only exceptionally in monomorphemic words. In our
contribution we deal with typical diachronic changes. Our claim about the
markedness of morphonotactic sequences is tested mainly against data from
Polish, Lithuanian and other Balto-Slavic languages. Our theoretical basis
draws on models of Natural Phonology (cf. Hurch & Rhodes 1996, Dziubalska-
Kołaczyk & Weckwerth 2002) and Natural Morphology (cf. Dressler et al. 1987, Kilani-Schoch & Dressler 2005), and especially on the subtheories of
universal markedness (or universal preferences) and of typological adequacy.
