Mohammad Haji-Abdolhosseini: A Constraint-Based Approach to Information Structure and Prosody Correspondence
This paper provides a constraint-based account of
information-prosody correspondence within the HPSG framework. The
starting point of the paper is Klein's (2000) account of prosodic
constituency in HPSG. However, it departs from the standard
syntactocentric architecture of grammar, and adopts a grammar design
in which syntax, phonology, and information structure are generated
in parallel, with all three applying to a common list of domain
objects. It is shown that this theoretical architecture elegantly
captures many of the various constraints that have been shown to
hold in classical views of grammar.
