Abstract:
In this paper, I will argue that i) The so-called Xiamen
tonal circle can analyzed as demarcative in nature; ii)
two different kinds of reduplicant affixes should be distinguishe
d in the analysis of reduplication of Xiamen dialect. Meanwhile,
a derivational analysis and an OT account are given to the
tonal aspect of Xiamen reduplication.
