Abstract:
This paper deals with some phonological and morphological
factors that condition the insertion ofschwa in Berber.
These include sonority, gemination, extraprosodicity and
output-output correspondence relationships existing between
a derived form and a base.
 

In the present paper, we will provide a constraint-based
analysis of the phenomenon of  Berber schwa epenthesis.
Underlying the account are the assumptions of  Optimality
Theory ( Prince & Smolensky 1993; McCarthy & Prince 1993,
1995,1999; Kager 1999; Bensoukas 2003,2004 and related works).
