Abstract:

This book examines the diverse prosody of compound nouns in Kansai
Japanese, with a special focus on a class of compounds with
particularly variable prosody, whose unique prosody is potentially
endangered due to their structure and influence from Tokyo Japanese.
These compounds serve as important evidence for recursion in prosodic
structure in theories of the syntax-prosody interface, as they
simultaneously resemble not only other compound words but also
non-compound phrases, making them valuable test cases for compound
prosodic structure. This book discusses potential reasons for these
compounds' prosodic variabilty and what may condition their unique
prosody, based on results from novel fieldwork. A unified account of
compound prosody in Kansai and three other Japanese dialects is also
presented.
