Abstract:

This volume focuses on the theoretical and analytical challenges that
languages with complex morphologies pose for the theory and typology
of word-level prosodic phenomena. The morphological complexity and
phonological length that are characteristic of words in these
languages make them a particularly fruitful ground for investigating
the effects of both phonological and morphological factors in the
assignment of prominence. The first three chapters in the volume
explore general theoretical issues pertaining to word prominence in
synthetic languages, including the issue of 'wordhood' and the
empirical, theoretical, and methodological issues with delineating
word-level prominence and the higher-level prosodic phenomena in these
languages. These are followed by a series of case studies on stress,
accent, and tone in a geographically and genetically diverse set of
languages with highly synthetic morphologies including languages of
the Americas, Europe and Asia, and Australia. The volume adopts an
interdisciplinary perspective, combining phonetic, phonological, and
morphosyntactic insights. It will be of interest not only to
phonologists and morphologists, but to all those interested in the
typological and theoretical issues relating to polysynthetic
languages.
