Overview

"This volume consists of nine articles dealing with the role of the constituent ""phonological word"" (or prosodic word) in various typologically diverse languages. These languages and their respective families subsume Indo-European, Bantu, Algonquian, Siouan and Salishan. The theoretical issues dealt with in the book include evidence for the phonological word, the connection between morphosyntactic and prosodic structure and the relationship between the phonological word and other prosodic constituents."
