Abstract:

Optimality Theory has become the dominant approach to studying
phonology, including analyses of the mapping from syntactic structure
to prosodic structure. However, when syntactic and prosodic structures
are represented as trees, it is difficult, if not impossible, to
systematically generate by hand all the possible prosodic parses that
must be considered in an Optimality Theory investigation for any given
syntactic input. Consequently, most existing syntax-prosody analyses
are in this way incomplete, compromising their validity.
This volume presents a series of complete analyses of the
syntax-prosody interface, thanks to their use of the Syntax-Prosody in
Optimality Theory (SPOT) application. This JavaScript application,
developed by the editors of this volume, automates candidate
generation and constraint evaluation, making a rigorous Optimality
Theory analysis of syntax-prosody possible. SPOT allows the user to
test the typological predictions of the numerous proposed constraints
on prosodic markedness and syntax-prosody mapping, so that researchers
can make progress toward determining which formulations of the
constraints should actually be part of the universal constraint set. A
theme of the volume is comparing Selkirk’s Match Theory with the older
Align Theory of syntax-prosody mapping, finding that both are needed,
at least in some languages.
