Abstract:

The impact of phonology on word order phenomena has become a central research
agenda ever since the Minimalist Program emphasised the role of interface
conditions on syntactic operations.

This book is a detailed study of extraposition from NP, which has
traditionally been the domain of syntactic investigation and
information-structural studies. After an examination of syntactic accounts of
PP and relative clause extraposition, which are largely found inadequate, it
explores the possibility of phonological solutions by comparing the prosodic
structure of canonical and extraposed word orders. Particular attention is
payed to the informational status of extraposed constituents and the focus
structure of the sentence. The book shows that extraposition optimises the
prosodic structure of sentences and in some cases their rhythmic structure,
while focus structure only plays a role in extraposition of defocused
constituents. The book further argues that extraposition occurs at PF, while
certain binding-theoretical consequences of extraposition can be resolved by
LF movement. With its focus on the interface between syntax and phonology, the
book will appeal to researchers working on either domain.
