Abstract

ORIG CZ

V originále

I discuss the relationship between the phonological structure of vowel final nominal stems in Czech and the phonological structure of their inflectional forms. Following the CVCV model of Scheer (2004), I assume (i) the existence of final empty Nuclei, and (ii) the fact that the vowel of vowel initial case markers is a floating melody. I show that on these assumptions the morphologically irregular nonrealization of vowel initial case markers in a specific neuter paradigm follows from its phonological properties.
