- Abstract
-
This study is an attempt to shed light on markedness theory by
applying certain criteria of markedness on a corpus of acronyms to find
the marked and unmarked syllable structures in these words. This study is
hoped to contribute to the literature of phonological studies and MT. This
study aims to address the phonological make-up of the acronyms by
giving a full account the suprasegmental feature namely, syllable
structure and to distinguish the marked and the unmarked structures by
using certain criteria based on the suprasegmental features of those
acronyms. These criteria are structural complexity (simple or complex),
frequency of occurrence (frequent or less frequent), and common and
uncommon patterns. The present study builds on the hypothesis that
acronyms are structurally simple words in that they are composed of a
restricted number of syllables, one or two maximally and their syllables
mostly consist of simple, non-branching, onsets and codas. The
methodology used in this study is descriptive. The research is
accomplished by examining 50 acronyms as data of different structures.
Data analysis has demonstrated that the majority of the acronyms are
monosyllabic, disyllabic and few of them are trisyllabic. - Scientific Type
