Abstract:

A recent wave of research has explored the link between wh- syntax and
prosody, breaking with the traditional generative conception of a
unidirectional syntax-phonology relationship. In this book, Jason Kandybowicz
develops Anti-contiguity Theory as a compelling alternative to Richards'
Contiguity Theory to explain the interaction between the distribution of
interrogative expressions and the prosodic system of a language. Through
original and highly detailed fieldwork on several under-studied West African
languages (Krachi, Bono, Wasa, Asante Twi, and Nupe), Kandybowicz presents
empirically and theoretically rich analyses bearing directly on a number of
important theories of the syntax-prosody interface. His observations and
analyses stem from original fieldwork on all five languages and represent some
of the first prosodic descriptions of the languages. The book also considers
data from thirteen additional typologically diverse languages to demonstrate
the theory's reach and extendibility.

Against the backdrop of data from eighteen languages, Anti-contiguity offers a
new lens on the empirical and theoretical study of wh- prosody.
