Word-Formation and Phonology
Palatal vowels, glides and obstruents in Argentinian Spanish
The goal of this article is to contribute to our understanding of glides – their properties and distribution in underlying and surface representations, the range and the features of their various phonetic manifestations, and their role in the assignment of syllable structure and stress. Spanish provides a rich opportunity for carrying out this study because of the special properties of high vocoids in this language, which are systematically reali…
Studies in Lexical Phonology
Can [Consonantal] Spread
Current versions of feature geometry generally locate the features [consonantal] and [sonorant] as annotations on the root node, rather than as normal dependents of that or some other node. This geometry is intended to reflect the observation that, unlike other features, the major class features do not participate in phonological processes such as assimilation (spreading of a feature) or dissimilation (delinking of that feature). This article dis…
Government and tonal phrasing in Papago
The intonation contour of a Papago sentence is entirely predictable on the basis of its surface syntactic structure. It consists of a sequence of instances of the pattern (L)HL. For example, one Papago sentence may manifest a single (L)HL pattern, as in (I): while another will show repetitions of the canonical tonal shape, as in (2): Our task in this paper will be to characterise the distribution of the (L)HL pattern in Papago sentences. Our anal…
Inflected prepositions in Italian
In Italian certain prepositions (Ps) can appear morphologically combined with articles, inflecting for number and gender. We will dub this the inflected form of the P for the moment, without prejudice as to the analysis of this form: (1) Sta nella terza camera ‘It's in the third bedroom’ is in/the (fern sg) third bedroom (2) C' è abbastanza carta sulle scrivanie there is enough paper on/the (fern pi) desks ‘There's enough paper on the desks’ (3) …
Introduction
Phonological theory asks how phonological shapes are assigned to linguistic units. In this issue of the Phonology Yearbook we bring together examinations of the role that syntactic structure plays in this assignment. The focus is therefore on phenomena that have been labelled, in one framework or another, as external sandhi (as opposed to internal sandhi), phrase phonology (as opposed to word phonology), or postlexical phonology (as opposed to le…
On defining the intonational phrase
Syntactic juncture has been a topic of interest in phonological theory in recent years. One major issue addressed in the study of syntactic juncture is how to predict from syntactic structure the domains of phrase-level rules of the phonology, or prosodic structure. Many, including Selkirk (1978, 1984, 1986), Nespor & Vogel (1982) and Hayes (1984), propose that utterances are organised in a prosodic hierarchy, determined by but not isomorphic to …
Luganda and the strict layer hypothesis
The ability of a language's syntax to determine the application vs . non-application of postlexical phonological rules has by now been firmly established in a number of languages. Such rules, which apply above the word level, have come especially from the prosodic aspects of phonological structure, e.g. effects of syllabification, stress-accent, duration and tone. Much of the interest in this syntax-phonology interaction has centred around two ge…
Are phonosyntactic rules necessary
Selkirk (1986) proposes that rules of the phrasal phonology apply to a structure called P-structure that is derived from, but not isomorphic to, syntactic structure. While Selkirk claims that most rules of external sandhi fall into the category of P-structure rules, there are three rules that she suggests may still require direct reference to syntactic structure. These are Mende Consonant Mutation (Conteh et al. 1986), Kimatuumbi Vowel Shortening…
Vowel degemination and fast speech rules
In the last two years, two very interesting books about the interaction of phonology and syntax, Selkirk (1984 a ) and Kaisse (1985), have addressed the problem of characterising fast speech processes and made interesting proposals about the status of fast speech rules (FSRs) and their place in the grammar. Essentially, Kaisse's proposal is that fast speech rules belong to a separate subcomponent of the phonology, which is ordered after the sandh…
The phonology and syntax of wh-expressions in Tangale
Study of the phonology-syntax interface has typically proceeded by asking the following question: what aspects of syntactic structure are relevant for the application of phonological rules? Several years’ study of the question by a number of persons (e.g. Kaisse 1985; Selkirk 1984) suggests that phonological rules may be sensitive, either directly or indirectly, to the surface-syntactic constituent structure – typically through extension of the n…
The interface between phonology and other components of grammar
When a phonological rule applies across words, it is necessary to be able to specify across which types of words it may apply and across which it may not, or in other words, within which domain it applies. That such domains do not necessarily coincide with syntactic constituents has been amply demonstrated in such works as Clements (1978), Napoli & Nespor (1979), Rotenberg (1978), Selkirk (1978, 1984), Nespor & Vogel (1982, 1986) and Kaisse (1985…
The syntax of Xiamen tone sandhi
This collection of thematically related papers in the current issue of the Phonology Yearbook , coming in the wake of recent major works like Selkirk (1984a) and Kaisse (1985), betokens a growing interest in the interfacing problem of syntax and phonology. So far, the most intensively investigated problems such as English contraction and auxiliary reduction fall in the intermediate area of morphosyntax, in the sense that they typically involve th…
On the theory of Lexical Phonology
The theory of Lexical Phonology, which forms one of the themes of this volume, was developed by Paul Kiparsky and K. P. Mohanan and first introduced in monographs appearing in the early 1980s (Kiparsky 1982a, b; Mohanan 1982). The number of phonologists that have begun to work within or in response to the theory in the short time since its appearance is worthy of remark. One reason that Lexical Phonology has sparked so much interest must surely b…
An Encyclopedia of Aux
This significant contribution to the generative theory of syntax confronts a fundamental question inherent in the study of universals of grammar: How can claims of universality be empirically verified? This book puts the question of the similarity of categories across the grammars of particular languages on a substantive empirical basis by providing a principled method of cross-linguistic comparison; a method based on equivalence classes of langu…

Separating phonology from syntax
I. A pervasive, though not always explicit assumption of transformational grammar has been that syntactic and phonological rules form separate, discrete units in the organization of grammar; that phonological rules are not ordered among syntactic transformations, but rather apply in a block at the end of the syntactic derivation. 1 Chomsky and Halle (1968) go even further in this separation, arguing that the surface structure is not the immediate…

The contributors are friends, colleagues, and former students of Professor Anderson, all important cont…
