The Syntax - Phonology Interface *

The topic of the syntax-phonology interface is broad, encompassing different submodules of grammar and interactions of these. This chapter addresses one fundamental aspect of the syntax-phonology interface in detail: the relation between syntactic constituency and the prosodic constituent domains for sentence-level phonological and phonetic phenomena. Two further core aspects, which rely on an ...

The Phonetics-Phonology Interface

To bridge the gap between the dissimilar mechanisms and entities of the phonological grammar and those of the phonetic mechanisms for producing and perceiving speech, the ‘phonetics-phonology interface’ (PPI) has been invoked. In this brief presentation, an introduction to the ICPhS 2003 Symposium on The Phonetics-Phonology Interface, I present an exegesis and taxonomy of the PPI and some citat...

Phonetics-phonology interface and laboratory phonology

Clusters are described by phonotactics, which determines phonological conditions and constraints on the occurrence or co-occurrence of sounds in a given language (e.g., [pstr-] in Polish pstrąg ‘trout’, [-ps] in English lapse). Syllables, morphemes or words serve as domains of phonotactics. However, the functions of phonotactics – to achieve easily pronounceable and perceptable sequences – may ...
