<p>utrecht</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>&#039;&#039;&#039;Diacritic feature&#039;&#039;&#039; is a formal expression of unpredictable information about words in their lexical entry.<br /> <br /> === Example ===<br /> <br /> many non-native English verbs may undergo &#039;&#039;-ation&#039;&#039; and/or &#039;&#039;-al&#039;&#039; affixation (&#039;&#039;recite: recital: recitation&#039;&#039;). However, the verbs arrive and derive do not allow the derivation of *&#039;&#039;arrivation&#039;&#039; and *&#039;&#039;derival&#039;&#039;, respectively. Halle (1973) accounts for these [[accidental gap]]s by assigning the diacritic feature [-lexical insertion] to these forms. Other widely used diacritic features are [+/- latinate] or [+/- native] (e.g. Aronoff 1976). Another term is exception feature.<br /> <br /> === Link ===<br /> <br /> [http://www2.let.uu.nl/UiL-OTS/Lexicon/zoek.pl?lemma=Diacritic+feature&amp;lemmacode=1080 Utrecht Lexicon of Linguistics]<br /> <br /> === References ===<br /> <br /> * Aronoff, M. 1976. &#039;&#039;Word Formation in Generative Grammar,&#039;&#039; MIT-press, Cambridge, Mass.<br /> * Chomsky, N. and M.
