so I was wondering whether this might be underlying what you were saying. These issues were brought up in the context of the “Linguistics Wars” (Harris
<i>The Linguistics Wars </i>2021). Here’s Lakoff, in an interview with Huck & Goldsmith (a passage that I always floats through my mind in these discussions)</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;line-height:105%;font-family:"Courier New";color:#4C1130"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

</span><span style="font-size:13.5pt;line-height:105%;font-family:"Courier New";color:#4C1130">was another major difference. Chomsky held a view about the philosophy of science that we did not hold - the Quine-Duhem thesis.<span class="gmail-highlight"> Quine</span>
assumed that a scientific theory was a finite list of axioms in first<br>
order predicate calculus, and used the Lowenheim-Skolem theorem to argue that no finite number of counterexamples could falsify any finite number of axioms since a finite number of auxiliary hypotheses could always be added to handle the counterexamples. As
Chomsky has said, in the Quine-Duhem spirit, only the theory as whole, once completed with no additional auxiliary hypotheses, can be falsified.<br>
We of course did not subscribe to the Quine-Duhem thesis, since the role of generalization played no role in it. That is, no auxiliary hypotheses, from our perspective, could be adequate if they failed to capture generalizations about content. But, as Chomsky
knew well, the theory of formal<br>
systems could only state generalizations about form and not content. Since we were concerned with generalizations about content, the Quine-Duhem<br>
thesis made no sense to us. But for Chomsky, the Quine-Duhem thesis was important, since it shielded his theories from possible counterexamples.” (Huck & Goldsmith

thinking about philosophical issues might help us be able to articulate the differences underlying our views. It might actually help us understand what we are talking about, whether we are talking past each other, and what is actually at stake. Perhaps we
just have 'cognitive' commitments that make research programs incompatible ... but maybe despite initial biases, we can still work together to test competing claims.</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;line-height:105%;font-family:"Courier New";color:#4C1130"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

a foot makes a number of other statements and perhaps universals coherent: a sort of Lakatosian view that the foot forms part of the core of a scientific paradigm not subject to direct empirical scrutiny. Or perhaps it is a useful assumption for discovery
– we learn so much by assuming something like a foot is actually there. </span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;line-height:105%;font-family:"Courier New";color:#4C1130"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

falsifiability need not refer to structural facts from a single language – you need to have a broad sample of languages and show that the ‘foot’ is
<i>not </i>a regulative principle in language structure, even if its evidence is weak or absent in some cases.</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;line-height:105%;font-family:"Courier New";color:#4C1130"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

of “bad idea” (is it ever a bad idea to adopt the foot?) is hard for me to square with how I view science. All purposes are ultimately “workable”. McCawley’s comments I think are pertinent here (in his summary of his article ‘Language Universals in Linguistic

arguments in which conclusions are justified on the basis of the claim that they allow one to maintain anguage universals that alternative analyses would conflict with. I find the bulk of such arguments worthless, since the putative universals generally are
merely features accidentally shared by analyses that the investigator or some reason happens to like.

If a linguist has staked their career on the assumption that foot are universals, then the universal foot just becomes self-justifying: the foot is never a bad idea, because its never a bad idea.</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;line-height:105%;font-family:"Courier New";color:#4C1130"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

inoculates itself from falsification through lack of positive evidence (you haven’t shown that it’s not
<i>not</i> there…), its proponents are probably not going to find such efforts convincing, regardless of whatever you or I might think. I’m not necessarily endorsing that way of thinking, but to the extent that it exists, I’m asking whether we can find positive
evidence that assuming a “foot” for a particular language is actually a <i>bad idea</i>.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I’m interested in this because, under the assumption that “foot” is the focus of prosodic phenomena exclusively (not, e.g., segmental phenomena that
could not be attributed to syl or wd; if this is wrong I’d be happy to be corrected), it seems useful to assume this unit of analysis for cross-linguistic comparison even if, for a particular language, “foot” turned out to be isomorphic with, for example,
“word” as defined through segmental criteria (and assuming that most analysts would not adopt the reverse approach – attributing segmental phenomena to the “foot”, and doing away with “word” – though in principle, I suppose one could). Perhaps the sort of
counterevidence that I’m suggesting looking for might be a language that showed evidence for multiple units between syl and phrase, and in which segmental and prosodic phenomena referenced units both above and below one another – though I’m not aware of such
a language. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

if one does not find evidence for a given layer of the prosodic hierarchy one is not necessarily warranted in assuming that the layer is not present. So one of the reasons that the prosodic hierarchy hypothesis seems like it has wide empirical coverage is
because it is basically let off the hook for accounting for cases where there seems to be no evidence for its domains. And the reverse is true as well it turns out (too many domains? just posit some are not related to the theory). I've heard the same argument
used to justify the vP shell, the argument for binary branching in all languages, and, of course, for the universal foot as well. It's been insisted that if I don't want to adopt the foot I should provide evidence

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Hi Adam and everyone else,<br>
<br>
The Strict Layer Hypothesis assumes that foot structure —as for other prosodic domains — is present in all languages. I get the impression, however, that the lack of evidence or foot structure in many languages hasn't been problematised in the same way as for
the syllable and word - e.g. Hyman's analysis of Gokana, Sheiring et al's re: Vietnamese (one exception is Özçelik 2017's paper The Foot is not an obligatory constituent of the Prosodic Hierarchy: “stress” in Turkish, French and child English).<br>
<br>
Anyway, underlying much of the discussion here is ultimately the question of what constitutes evidence for foot structure, and what is the relationship between foot structure and stress. I think there's good reasons not to treat stress as evidence for foot
structure (you can account for stress without foot structure, and empirical evidence for stress both complex and lacking for many languages). This issue is the focus of my current paper in Linguistic typology, and is discussed in more detail in my forthcoming
PhD thesis. <br>
<br>
All the best,<br>
Kirsten <o:p></o:p></span></p>
