Opacity, Level Ordering, and Tonal Feet in Dogrib
·Tonal feet are the driving force behind most morphophonemic alternations in Dogrib. ·Tonal feet apply recursively at the Stem, Word, and Postlexical Levels. ·Most exceptions to tonal feet are due to opacity / constraint masking between levels. ·Data from my own fieldwork in Yellowknife, Northwest T...
