What is the relationship between phonology and syntax, between sound and structure? How do they interact? Based on a conference at Stanford University, this book assembles essays from the founders of this field of investigation as well as from their students. The papers provide empirical support—and some challenges—for the influential Prosodic Hierarchy Theory, propose theoretical revisions in diverse areas of the theory, and introduce new data from a wide variety of languages. New theoretical devices are introduced to handle apparent lexical effects on phrasal rules, and new phrasing algorithms are developed which require access to other kinds of syntactic information than those once believed to be necessary. Several papers address architectural issues, arguing for particular components to accommodate the effects of semantics on phonology, and those of phonology on syntax.
