Abstract:

This volume brings together studies on morphosyntactic and
phonological constituency from a host of languages across the
Americas. The study expands on previous multivariate typological work
on phonological domains by simultaneously coding the results of
morphosyntactic constituency tests. The descriptions are geared
towards developing a typology of constituency and linguistic levels in
both morphosyntactic and phonological domains. The multivariate
approach adopted in this volume deconstructs constituency tests and
phonological domains into cross-linguistically comparable variables
applying and extending autotypology method to the domain of
constituent structure. Current methodologies for establishing
constituents have been criticized for containing an in-built selection
bias, where the results and interpretation of tests are chosen or
sampled in such a fashion that specific analyses are prejudged to be
correct or false in a non-rigorous fashion. The papers of this volume
develop novel methodology for reporting and coding constituency
variables for language description and comparison that seeks to reign
in selection bias allowing theories concerning the relationship
between morphosyntactic and phonological constituent structure to be
more severely tested.
