The Syntax - Phonology Interface *

چکیده
The topic of the syntax-phonology interface is broad, encompassing different submodules of grammar and interactions of these. This chapter addresses one fundamental aspect of the syntax-phonology interface in detail: the relation between syntactic constituency and the prosodic constituent domains for sentence-level phonological and phonetic phenomena. Two further core aspects, which rely on an understanding of the first, are not examined here-the phonological realization (spell-out) of the morphosyntactic feature bundles of morphemes and lexical items that form part of syntactic representation and the linearization of syntactic representation which produces the surface word order of the sentence as actually pronounced.

Cross-linguistic Influence at Syntax-pragmatics Interface: A Case of OPC in Persian
Recent research in the area of Second Language Acquisition has proposed that bilinguals and L2 learners show syntactic indeterminacy when syntactic properties interface with other cognitive domains. Most of the research in this area has focused on the pragmatic use of syntactic properties while the investigation of compliance with a grammatical rule at syntax-related interfaces has not received...
متن کاملProsodic V2 in Northern Norwegian
The formation of wh-questions in Northern Norwegian seems to be an example of a syntactic phenomenon which necessarily refers to phonological structure, namely the prosodic weight of the wh-expression. The subject and verb are ‘inverted’ after polysyllabic wh-expressions, but they are not inverted after monosyllabic ones. These data are discussed in the context of Pullum & Zwicky’s (1988) hypot...
متن کاملGrammar at the Borderline: A Case Study of P as a Lexical Category
What is an interface? Talk of interfaces arises when one is confronted with some boundary phenomenon that sits at a point of contact between two domains. In my area of study, namely syntax, people talk about the “syntax-phonology interface”, the “syntax-morphology interface”, or the “syntax-semantics interface”. So an interface can be understood as a borderline between two domains. This metapho...
