Table 20: Lexical Entries, Morphological Specifications and Deletion Rates of pronouns V1.<br />

!" I assume that the Morphology contains the Hierarchy of the Morphological Features in (29) xvii :<br />

(29) Case > Person > Number > Gender<br />

CASE features dominate (e.g., are ranked higher than) PERSON features, PERSON features<br />

dominate NUMBER features and NUMBER features dominate GENDER features. The latter<br />

do not seem to affect VD.<br />

7.2.1 Determiners and Inflected Prepositions<br />

!" V1 underspecified for the number feature, i.e. /a, o/, are regularly elided before vowel-initial<br />

nouns (no matter if the noun begins with a/an stressed/unstressed V2).<br />

!" V1 specified for the number feature, i.e. /i, e/, tend to refuse VD nearly categorically (no<br />

matter if the noun begins with a/an stressed/unstressed V2).<br />
