Cover Story: Using optimality theoretic analysis, this study discusses the problem of plural realization in Eastern Andalusian Spanish (EAS) that differs from all other accounts that assign the EAS plural an underlying suffixal /s/ synchronically. Using alignment constraints, we argue that plural /s/ does not appear in the underlying form synchronically in EAS, but instead the plural morpheme is represented by a floating [–ATR]PL feature that aligns to the right edge of the word and spreads to the left. It spreads to all mid vowels, low vowels in word-final position, and combines with word-final vowel epenthesis to account for pluralization in words with final consonants. We discuss the behavior of high vowels and focus particularly on the plural of words ending in a final stressed vowel that have been rarely discussed in the EAS literature. View this paper
