Optimality Theory has become the dominant approach to studying
phonology, including analyses of the mapping from syntactic
structure to prosodic structure. However, when syntactic and
prosodic structures are represented as trees, it is difficult, if
not impossible, to systematically generate by hand all the possible
prosodic parses that must be considered in an Optimality Theory
investigation for any given syntactic input. Consequently, most
existing syntax-prosody analyses are in this way incomplete,
compromising their validity. This volume presents a series of
complete analyses of the syntax-prosody interface, thanks to their
use of the Syntax-Prosody in Optimality Theory (SPOT) application.
This JavaScript application, developed by the editors of this
volume, automates candidate generation and constraint evaluation,
making a rigorous Optimality Theory analysis of syntax-prosody
possible. SPOT allows the user to test the typological predictions
of the numerous proposed constraints on prosodic markedness and
syntax-prosody mapping, so that researchers can make progress
toward determining which formulations of the constraints should
actually be part of the universal constraint set. A theme of the
volume is comparing Selkirk’s Match Theory with the older Align
Theory of syntax-prosody mapping, finding that both are needed, at
least in some languages.
