Fission definition
Examples of Fission in a sentence
There are two possible ways to account for such data in keeping with our general program: (i) treat the /k/ in the first person singular as accidentally homophonous with the second person /k/ and maintain that there is no splitting in the first person in this language, or (ii) posit a highly restricted Fission rule splitting up [+author] and [+singular] in a morpheme specified as [CAT: T, +author, +participant, +singular, +past].
Hence, the parallel development of the first and second person singular exponents in related languages with distinct exponents might constitute just the right kind of evidence for Fission.
Multiple positions of exponence are achieved through a post-syntactic operation called Fission.
Fission gases breaching the cladding are another source of non-condensable gases.
One significant point of disagreement between my analysis and the hybrid approaches of Harbour (2008a) and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (2012) concerns the nature of Fission.
The exercise price per ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Share subject to any such ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Replacement Option shall be an amount (rounded to the nearest fourth decimal place) equal to the quotient of (A) the exercise price per Fission Share under the exchanged Fission Option immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by (B) the Exchange Ratio (provided that the aggregate exercise price payable on any particular exercise of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Replacement Options shall be rounded up to the nearest whole cent).
I have argued for the existence of two primary criteria for distinguishing Fission from Doubling: (i) discontinu- ities due to Fission instantiate metafission patterns, while those due to Doubling do not; and (ii) discontinuities due to Fission involve some mutually exclusive realization of features across af- fixes (reminiscent of Noyer’s (1992) ‘discontinuous bleeding’), whereas Doubling need not.
By deriving discontinuous agreement in the first person through Fission, we predict that number should not be marked on the prefix, since [β singular] features will be stranded on the suffix after Fission.
It was argued here for the first time that the same morphotactic constraint can trigger either impoverishment or Fission (i.e. in the realization of first person dual forms in Omani ▇▇▇▇▇ and Classical Arabic), and that a positional constraint and its repair can be translated into a feature cooccurrence constraint and a corresponding rule of Fission as I argued occurred in the development of Maghrebi Arabic.
I argue in Section §5.2 that this gen- eralization is just one instance of a general preference for more marked features to be linearized to the left in Fission.
