The role of syntax in the Nuclear Stress Rule

Abstract: How directly the operation of phrasal stress placement refers to syntax is theory-dependent: directly in some (e.g., Truckenbrodt 1995, Kahnemuyipour 2009), indirectly in others (e.g., Chomsky & Halle 1968, Halle & Vergnaud 1987). Adequately evaluating this issue requires knowing both the relevant syntactic structure(s) as well as how syntax interacts with phonology-neither is trivial. This paper argues that syntax transparently feeds prosody at regular sub-intervals of structure building (e.g., Uriagereka 199… Show more

“…Hirsch and Wagner (2015) found they could account for the conflicting results by noticing syntactic differences between the two sets of experimental stimuli: Snedeker and Trueswell's (2003) stimuli contrasted left vs. list bracketing, while Kraljic and Brennan's (2005) stimuli contrasted left-vs. right-bracketing. Another example of work re-examining syntactic assumptions in an interface model is Ahn (2016a), which shows how hierarchical syntactic structure might regularly condition apparent exceptions to the nuclear stress rule in English.…”
