This book explores theoretical issues of the syntax-phonology
interface within the Minimalist Program of linguistic theory and
proposes an entirely new approach to prosodic categories.
Conceptual as well as empirical questions are addressed, concerning
how syntactic objects are mapped to the sensorimotor system through
the processes of externalization. Elaborating on recent progress in
the theories of labelling and workspace-based syntactic derivation,
this book further develops a null theory of the prosodic domains,
and recasts these as the domains of interpretation that are
reducible to more fundamental concepts of linguistic theory.
Phonological phrases are characterized by Minimal Search, a third
factor principle of efficient computation. Intonational phrases are
taken to be reflexes of the termination of syntactic derivation,
which is formulated in terms of the workspace to which MERGE
applies. This book explores the new implications this theory has
for the general architecture of grammar as well as for linguistic
interfaces. It provides a comprehensive review of the development
of theories of the syntax-phonology interface from over the past
three decades. The book is well-suited for general linguistic
readers as well as phonologists, syntacticians, and any linguist
interested in interface research.
