Hungarian

This paper presents some crucial phonological characteristics of Hungarian that could be important in making distinctions between the so-called analytic and synthetic morphological processes. In the first part of the article I present a morphophonological theory first proposed by Jonathan Kaye within Government Phonology - a framework that incorporates principles about phonological wellformedness. The second part accounts for Hungarian data that are relevant to some phonotactic constraints in the language. So nasal + plosive, plosive + plosive and plosive + nasal consonant clusters are examined at internal arid word-final positions in monomorphemic and suffixed forms. These patterns <s^iow that some clusters do not exist in monomorphemic stems, which can be accounted for by positing separate positions for them. This distinction in phonological representation (between true and bogus clusters) and morphological processes (analytic and non-analytic) are the topics of the third part of the paper. In the last section two morphological processes are presented that cannot create bogus clusters, and involve such phonological processes that are far from productive, namely the in- prefixation and the imperative palatalization in Hungarian. Unlike earlier phonological theories accounting for these data, I sketch a view in which these forms are not produced by a (generative) phonological process, but by resemblance among forms and irregular processes in the lexicon
