One of the basic grammatical categories in linguistics is the
phonological word. But how are words made up in terms of their
sounds? And how is the information on the sound structure of words
used in the processing of words? The multidimensionality of the
phonological word relates it to semantics, morphology, phonology
and syntax. It is nevertheless a category that has only been an
object of serious study since the prosodic turn in phonology and
thus cannot be considered an established category of grammatical
description. This volume brings together scholars interested in the
complex relations of the phonological word, applying different
empirical approaches.
This book explores the interaction of grammatical components in a
wide variety of languages, and presents and exemplifies new
experimental and analytic techniques for studying linguistic
interfaces. Speaking a language requires access to the different
aspects of its grammar -- semantic, syntactic, phonological,
pragmatic, morphological, and phonetic. Knowing how these interact
is crucial to understanding the operations of any specific language
and to the explanation of how language in general operates in the
mind. The new research presented here combines theoretical and
experimental perspectives on one of the most productive fields in
contemporary linguistics.
After the editors' introduction the volume is organized along four
themes: the structural properties of sentences interfacing with
meaning and the lexicon; internal word structure and its effect on
the syntactic and phonological components; the syntax-phonology
interface and its relation to the phonetics-phonology interface;
and the implications of interfaces for language acquisition and
language processing. The book will interest theoretical linguists
and all those in linguistics and cognitive science working on the
mental operations of language.
