What is it about?
The paper addresses the length variation of the causative and the reciprocal prefixes in Berber. It also deals with sibilant harmony and labial dissimilation. Templatic competition, discussed therein refers to the cooccurrence restrictions the causative and the reciprocal prefixes undergo with the imperfective marker

Why is it important?
The paper helps understanding word formation processes in Berber, providing a representational solution at the interface between phonology and morphosyntax to various morphophonological issues which strict phonological analyses fail to explain.
Perspectives
I hope this article will be useful not only to researchers interested in Berber linguistics but also to teachers and students. It provides an unified analysis of apparently unrelated phenomena.
