Abstract:

The metrical grid, the prosodic hierarchy, and the devices that establish
directional parsing effects are closely intertwined in metrical stress theory.
The metrical grid is the structure that represents stress patterns. The
locations of stressed positions on the grid are constrained by the positions
of categories in the prosodic hierarchy. Both the metrical grid and the
prosodic hierarchy are manipulated by constraints, such as alignment
constraints, that establish directional orientations within these structures.
Assumptions about the representations affect the behavior of the constraints,
and the particular formulation of the constraints influences the ultimate
configuration of the representations.

Layering and Directionality is unique in the OT literature in that it examines
both halves of the equation. It addresses the formulation of constraints that
produce directional parsing effects, but it also addresses assumptions
concerning prosodic and metrical structure. The book presents and defends
three central proposals: the Weak Bracketing approach to layering
relationships between prosodic categories, the Optimal Mapping approach to the
relationship between prosodic categories and the metrical grid, and the
Relation-Specific Alignment approach to parsing directionality. The book is
also unique in its coverage of OT accounts, comparing the proposed approach to
approaches that range from Generalized Alignment in standard OT to the more
recent Iterative Foot Optimization couched within the framework of Harmonic
Serialism. The book draws extensively on the typological literature to
evaluate the predictions of the accounts examined.
