The book under review puts forward a syntactic constraint called the final-over-final condition (FOFC), which is presented as a reflection of the asymmetry of the syntax of natural language. Chapter 1 is an introduction to the constraint. Chapter 2 provides empirical evidence for the constraint. Chapter 3 demonstrates the pervasiveness of the constraint across categories. Chapter 4 discusses the FOFC in relation to structure and linear order. Chapter 5 explores the hypothesis that the FOFC is a constraint on speech processing. Chapter 6 extends FOFC to adjuncts. Chapter 7 explores the idea that William’s Head-Final Filter (1982) might be subsumed under the FOFC. Chapter 8 is an exploration of the FOFC in the nominal domain. Chapter 9 tackles apparent counter-examples to the FOFC. Chapter 10 discusses the FOFC in free word order languages. Chapter 11 discusses the FOFC in morphology. What the FOFC is. The FOFC is, according to Sheehan, Biberauer, Roberts and Holmberg (2017), a condition which describes an asymmetry in natural language. Consider the syntactic configurations in (1):

Abstract This work challenges the assumption that tonal downstep is a juncture feature in Yoruba by providing data, both from everyday conversation and from classical Yoruba dictionaries, which prove that the phenomenon is part of the lexical composition of many Yoruba words. It is further argued that the derivational path of some of the words having downstep has already been lost. It is also reported that the Assimilated Low Tone phenomenon, which is an indication that the delinked Low tone triggering downstep is still active in the phonology, is currently being lost in many dialects, which is giving way to more classical-like downstep in the language. Cross- dialectal evidence from Oyo, Ibadan, Onko, and Ijebu dialects, as well as from pitch tracks are provided to support the arguments and it is suggested that Yoruba is developing downstep via Assimilated Low Tone, and that this process has now reached an advanced stage.
