The Structural Design of Language

By Thomas S. Stroik, Michael T. Putnam

In this book, Stroik and Putnam take on Turing's challenge. They argue that the narrow syntax – the lexicon, the Numeration, and the computational system – must reside, for reasons of conceptual necessity, within the performance systems.

Description:

The two volumes of the Phonological Spectrum aim at giving a comprehensive overview of current developments in phonological theory, by providing a number of papers in different areas of current theorizing which reflect on particular problems from different angles. Volume II deals with phonological structure above the segmental level, in particular with syllable structure, metrical structure and sentence-level prosodic structure. Different syllable structure theories, as well as possible relations between segment structure and syllabic structure, and evidence from language acquisition and aphasia are examined in section 1. Metrical structure is examined in papers on foot structure, and, experimentally, on word stress in Indonesian. Finally in this volume, there are three laboratory-phonological reports on the intonation of Dutch.Table of ContentsPreface Syllables, feet and higher up Syllabic structure Phonetic evidence for phonological structure in syllabification Heather Goad and Kathleen Brannen The phonology-phonetics interface and Syllabic Theory Shosuke Haraguchi Hungarian as a strict CV language Krisztina Polgárdi Syllable structure at different levels in the speech production process: Evidence from aphasia Dirk-Bart den Ouden and Roelien Bastiaanse Metrical structure uantity-sensitivity of syllabic trochees revisited: The case of dialectal gemination in Finnish Heli Harrikari Ternarity is ProsodicWord binarity Jay I.
