Understanding Cyclic Spell-Out

In Chomsky (1998) the interesting suggestion is made that syntactic structures may be phonetically interpreted in successive stages rather than at a single point, and that the input to occurrences of this “cyclic Spell-Out” process are phase constituents of type vP and CP. The cyclic Spell-Out/CSO hypothesis of the relation of syntax to phonology has been considerably influential since its intr...

The semantic structure is defined as the arrangement of the terms relative to each other as represented in a metric space in which itemsjudged more similar are placed closer to each other than...

Cyclic spell-out and the interaction of Seenku tonal processes

This paper demonstrates how tone can provide clues about large-scale grammatical architecture, by focusing on the interaction between three tonal processes in Seenku, a Mande language of Burkina Faso with a four-height tone system (tones: eL, L, H, eH). First, a phonotactic restriction against H in word-final position in open class vocabulary triggers epenthesis of eL, creating a H-eL contour. ...
