Abstract:

This monograph addresses three basic questions regarding the
development of word-internal prosodic structure: How much of the
phonological structure of early words is regulated by the same
constituents and principles that govern the organization of prosodic
structure of mature grammar? Why do early words diverge from the adult
targets in shape and size? And what is the best way to model
developmental changes that occur in prosodic structure? Answers to
these questions are explored through the longitudinal analysis of
spontaneous production data from child Japanese. The analysis provides
new types of evidence and new arguments that the prosodic phonology of
young children is largely continuous with that of adults, and that the
surface child-adult divergence in word forms and the overall pattern
of developmental changes are best explained in terms of ranked
violable constraints on the representation of prosodic structure,
whose ordering is modified in the course of acquisition.
