“…Of particular interest, also noted above, is that in the second movement, the head phrase of the relative clause (Mele's child boy) undergoes preposing rather than the entire relative clause (unless the relative clause does also move but later extraposes). To discuss all the details here would take us beyond the constraints of this short paper; however, see Kahnemuyipour and Massam (2006) for more details and a different approach to word order variation of genitives within Niuean DPs, and Macdonald (in preparation) for an analysis of word order and constituency in the Tongan DP. 16 Seiter notes that genitive relative constructions where the head of the relative construction is human are less preferred by some speakers (Seiter, 1980:149), but that the conditions under which this is the case are unclear.…”

“…14 Kahnemuyipour (2003) provides an account of the Persian facts in a phrasal phonology framework which covers the lower phrasal levels as well as the clause. See chapter 2 for arguments against a phrasal phonology account of sentential stress.…”

“…I start with a brief overview of Chomsky and Halle's (1968) Nuclear Stress Rule and Halle and Vergnaud's (1987) incorporation of this rule in their metrical grid theory. I then discuss Kahnemuyipour (2003) as an illustrative example of a Phrasal (Prosodic) Phonology account of sentential stress. I will show that these approaches are too powerful in that they allow for certain stress patterns that are not attested cross-linguistically.…”

The theoretical focus of this series is on the interfaces between subcomponents of the human grammatical system and the closely related area of the interfaces between the different subdisciplines of linguistics. The notion of "interface" has become central in grammatical theory (for instance, in Chomsky's recent Minimalist Program) and in linguistic practice: work on the interfaces between syntax and semantics, syntax and morphology, phonology and phonetics etc. has led to a deeper understanding of particular linguistic phenomena and of the architecture of the linguistic component of the mind/brain. The series covers interfaces between core components of grammar, including syntax/morphology, syntax/semantics, syntax/phonology, syntax/ pragmatics, morphology/phonology, phonology/phonetics, phonetics/speech processing, semantics/pragmatics, and intonation/discourse structure as well as issues in the way that the systems of grammar involving these interface areas are acquired and deployed in use (including language acquisition, language dysfunction, and language processing). It demonstrates, we hope, that proper understandings of particular linguistic phenomena, languages, language groups, or inter-language variations all require reference to interfaces. The series is open to work by linguists of all theoretical persuasions and schools of thought. A main requirement is that authors should write so as to be understood by colleagues in related subfields of linguistics and by scholars in cognate disciplines. In this monograph, Arsalan Kahnemuyipour explores the consequences of a particular architecture for the phonology/syntax interface: a multiple spellout system where each spell-out point is sensitive to local "chunks" of syntactic structure. These chunks are identified as phases of the syntactic derivation, and the book argues that sentence stress can be predicted partly on the basis of these. The book also argues for a particular view of how the informationstructure/syntax interface is organized, and builds a theory of the interaction of the two interfaces.
