Phonology and Syntax: The Relation between Sound and Structure (Current Studies in Linguistics Series) - Softcover
Synopsis
A fundamentally new approach to the theory of phonology and its relation to syntax is developed in this book, which is the first to address the question of the relation between syntax and phonology in a systematic way. This general theory differs from its predecessors in the generative tradition in several respects. By arguing that the intonational structure of a sentence determines certain aspects of its stress pattern or rhythmic structure, and not vice versa, it provides a novel view of the intonation-stress relation. It also offers a new theory of the focus-prosody relation that solves a variety of classic puzzles and involves an appeal to the place of a focused constituent in the predicate-argument structure of the sentence. The book also includes other novel features, among them a development of the metrical grid theory of stress (including a complete treatment of English word stress in this framework), the representation of juncture in terms of "silent" positions in the metrical grid (with a treatment of sandhi in terms of this rhythmic juncture), and a "rhythmic" nonsyntactic approach to the basic phonology of function words in English.
This book is tenth in the series, Current Studies in Linguistics.

Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Condition: Como nuevo. : Este libro presenta un enfoque fundamentalmente nuevo de la teoría de la fonología y su relación con la sintaxis. Se argumenta que la estructura entonacional de una oración determina ciertos aspectos de su patrón de acento o estructura rítmica, ofreciendo una nueva perspectiva de la relación entonación-acento. También propone una nueva teoría de la relación foco-prosodia que resuelve una variedad de enigmas clásicos y apela al lugar de un constituyente enfocado en la estructura predicado-argumento de la oración. Además, incluye un desarrollo de la teoría de la cuadrícula métrica del acento y un enfoque rítmico no sintáctico de la fonología básica de las palabras funcionales en inglés.
