“…In contrast, this survey reveals far more evidence of word language features. It thus seems that the phonology of Luxembourgish is on the same track as German, where Szczepaniak (2007) convincingly showed the historic development from a syllable language in Old High German towards a word language nowadays. Considering this overwhelming evidence, one could classify Luxembourgish as a word language as well.…”

“…Summarizing the results, it is possible to complement the findings of Szczepaniak (2007) in several ways ( Table 2). It becomes obvious that in present-day Luxembourgish pertinent features pointing towards a syllable language are few in number or are decreasing (shwa epenthesis).…”

“…the syllable and the phonological word, for the phonological system of Luxembourgish. Following the proposal initiated by Donegan and Stampe (1983) and elaborated by Auer (1993Auer ( , 1994Auer ( , 2001) and Szczepaniak (2007), languages can be classified typologically according to the relevance of the prosodic domains of the syllable or the phonological word, respectively. Specifically, a language 'favors' either the syllable or the phonological word in sound change or synchronic phonological rules, processes or alternations, i.e.…”

“…Phonologically speaking, the feature 'voice' is neutralized across words (external sandhi), but it is preserved word-internally (internal sandhi). This incongruity of internal and external sandhi can be seen, according to Szczepaniak (2007), as indicative of a word language. It can be concluded that voicing assimilation is prone to the phonological word.…”

Situated in the recent discussion on syllable languages and word languages, the relevance and impact of phonological domains for the phonology of Luxembourgish will be discussed. Analyzing various aspects of the phonological organization of Luxembourgish, the paper addresses the question whether there is one main prosodic domain, i.e. either the phonological word or the syllable, shaping the overall phonological structure of this language. The features presented concern the distribution of shwa, syllable complexity, the behavior of unstressed syllables, the role of the trochaic foot as well as the impact of the language contact with French. It turns out that Luxembourgish cannot be attributed to either the syllable language or word language type. Instead, features originating from both types seem to be mixed in an intricate way. Furthermore, frequent sandhi phenomena like the n-rule and voicing assimilation show that indeed both phonological domains are necessary to describe the structures appropriately.

On the way from morphology to phonology: German linking elements and the role of the phonological word

Morphology

German linking elements are sometimes classified as inflectional affixes, sometimes as derivational affixes, and in any case as morphological units with at least seven realisations (e.g. -s-, -es-, -(e)n-, -e-). This article seeks to show that linking elements are hybrid elements situated between morphology and phonology. On the one hand, they have a clear morphological status since they occur only within compounds (and before a very small set of suffixes) and support the listener in decoding them. On the other hand, they also have to be analysed on the phonological level, as will be shown in this article. Thus, they are marginal morphological units on the pathway to phonology (including prosodics). Although some alloforms can sometimes be considered former inflectional endings and in some cases even continue to demonstrate some inflectional behaviour (such as relatedness to gender and inflection class), they are on their way to becoming markers of ill-formed phonological words. In fact, linking elements, above all the linking -s-, which is extremely productive, help the listener decode compounds containing a bad phonological word as their first constituent, such as Geburt+s+tag 'birthday' or Religion+s+unterricht 'religious education'. By marking the end of a first constituent that differs from an unmarked monopedal phonological word, the linking element aids the listener in correctly decoding and analysing the compound. German compounds are known for their length and complexity, both of which have increased over time-along with the occurrence of linking elements, especially -s-. Thus, a profound instance of language change can be D. Nü bling (&) AE R.
