• Resumen

  • This article discusses phonological generalizations concerning derived imperfectives in Kurpian, a dialect of Polish spoken in northern Mazovia. It is argued that, unlike Standard Polish, Kurpian has a live process that turns lax vowels into tense vowels in derived imperfectives. DI Tensing interacts with other rules of Kurpian, leading, in some cases, to Duke of York derivations. The paper is based 100% on the original fieldwork. A formal analysis of the descriptive generalizations is conducted in the framework of Optimality Theory
