Abstract

V originále

Brazilian Portuguese displays a “cross” pattern in its marking of the present tense: the suffix -a/ ̃5w is indicative with verbs of class I, but subjunctive with other verbs; the suffix -I(n) is the mirror image, subjunctive with verbs of class I but indicative with other verbs. We show that this pattern can be captured while keeping a principled morphology unified with syntax, and without postulating context-sensitive rules or morphology-specific operations. The key is to take into account the special phonology affecting verbal roots when they are suffixed by -I(n).
