The Cayuga (Northern Iroquoian) word has been identified as a domain (one relevant for pitch accent assignment [Chafe 1977:169]). The goal of this paper is to determine which linguistic constituent corresponds to the Cayuga word domain. This paper presents evidence that the Cayuga word domain does not correspond to the grammatical word, nor to the prosodic word; instead, it is coextensive with the Phonological Phrase domain. Several characteristics of words in polysynthetic languages fall out from this analysis
Domain (mathematical analysis · Linguistics · Natural language processing · Phrase · Stress (linguistics · Word (group theory · Communication · Computer Science · History · Linguistic Variation and Morphology · Mathematics · Philosophy · Phonetics and Phonology Research · Psychology · Syntax, Semantics, Linguistic Variation
