DEP: Beyond epenthesis

Abstract:
DEP is often informally characterized as a constraint against
epenthesis, but its actual effects are more diverse. In
the domain of base-reduplicant correspondence, DEP can have
the effect of blocking deletion in the base, as in Tonkawa
reduplication. In the domain of output-output correspondence,
DEP in effect requires deletion of underlying material in
derived forms, as in English. These consequences follow
straightforwardly from the correspondence-theoretic definition
of DEP as a bi-level faithfulness constraint, and they cannot
be derived without such a constraint.
