Abstract

Abstract:Phonological words play a crucial role in phonology, but where exactly they are produced in syntax is not clear. I propose a theory whereby the syntax issues phonological word diacritics to the complex constituents it creates. Additionally, certain morphemes can be specified in the lexicon as possessing these diacritics. The phonology then interprets the diacritics—sometimes it ignores them, and other times it makes phonological words to satisfy language-specific prosodic requirements. The resulting theory is demonstrated on the complex patterning of prepositions in Russian. The class of prepositions in Russian has certain syntactic traits in common, but there are many patterns where prepositions diverge according to their phonological word status. There are correlations between morphosyntactic structure and phonological word status: morphologically complex prepositions are always words. On the other hand, the presence of a morphological root, phonological size, and stress do not align with word status. The large range of phonological and morphosyntactic patterns involving prepositions in Russian demonstrates the need for an explicit and rich theory of word formation at the phonology-syntax interface.

句法与词汇中的音系词:俄语介词研究
摘要:语音词在音韵学中起着至关重要的作用,但它们在句法中的具体产生位置尚不清楚。我提出了一种理论,即句法向其创造的复杂成分发出语音单词变音符号。此外,某些语素可以在词典中被指定为具有这些变音符号。然后,音韵学解释变音符号——有时它忽略它们,有时它制作音韵词来满足特定语言的韵律要求。由此产生的理论被证明是关于俄语介词的复杂模式。俄语中的介词类有一些共同的句法特征,但根据其语音单词的地位,介词有许多不同的模式。形态句法结构和语音单词状态之间存在相关性:形态复杂的介词总是单词。另一方面,词根的存在、语音大小和重音与单词的状态不一致。俄语中涉及介词的大量音韵学和形态句法模式表明,在音韵学-句法界面上需要一个明确而丰富的造词理论。

期刊介绍: Journal of Slavic Linguistics, or JSL, is the official journal of the Slavic Linguistics Society. JSL publishes research articles and book reviews that address the description and analysis of Slavic languages and that are of general interest to linguists. Published papers deal with any aspect of synchronic or diachronic Slavic linguistics – phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, or pragmatics – which raises substantive problems of broad theoretical concern or proposes significant descriptive generalizations. Comparative studies and formal analyses are also published. Different theoretical orientations are represented in the journal. One volume (two issues) is published per year, ca. 360 pp.
