While the the cases of phrasal phrasal allomorphy allomorphy discussed in Hayes ((this this volume) all involve some rather rather idiosyncratic idiosyncratic syntactic syntactic environments, environments, the cases of Greek allomorphy allomorphy are, in a sense, better better behaved, behaved, in that that they they exploit a 22 prosodie prosodic category, category, allowing for a simply stated environment.^^ There is stated environment.

formulation of the Greek phrasing The formulation phrasing algorithm algorithm reflects both both a bottombottomphrasing (clauses (14a,b)), (14a,b)), and a top-down up type of phrasing top-down type type of phrasing phrasing (clause (14c)). This will be justified justified in the present present section. phrasing, every language language has a phrasing In the common view of phrasing, phrasing al algorithm pper prosodie category^® gorithm e r prosodic category 25 and, crucially, a string string is submitted submitted to successive fullll parses parses with with respect respect to each prosodic a series of su ccessive fu prosodie category. other words, when category category A" xn is to be constructed, In other constructed, all categories categories of type, xn-m, m == 11,, 22,, ..... . , n must have already lower type, m already been constructed. constructed. theorists, furthermore, furthermore, phonological phonological rules having For some theorists, having as their their do docategories of lower type type have already already applied mains categories applied when A" xn is to be constructed. The phonology constructed. phonology is thus thus interspersed interspersed with prosodic prosodie structure structure formation.

In this section, I will show of type " “ ^ into constituents that this assumption assumption is untenable: untenable: the way a string that string is parsed parsed with respect respect prosodie category category m may depend on the way it is parsed to a given prosodic a y depend parsed with respect to a higher prosodic prosodie category. These top-down respect to p -d o w n effects are of the following two types: types: (a) a prosodic prosodie category category may be constructed, following constructed, either either partially, w fully or partially, ith in the domain within domain of a higher higher prosodic prosodie category, and (b} the conditions conditions defining the the span span of a given prosodic (b) prosodie category category may be overridden by those defining the span span of a higher higher prosodic overridden prosodie category. present three three cases to this effect; the first two are of type (a), and I will present and third is of type type (b).

Q.)
Here the verb moves into INFL while the subject NP remains in situ and thus within the maximal projection of the verb. As a result, the verb and its subject phrase together. The tone rules apply as usual: the initial accent of the subject noun attracts the floating tone of the verb. The floating tone of the subject deletes and all toneless moras receive a default Low. It is this example that provides the motivation for verb movement into INFL in Kiyaka. In general, phonological phrasing joins heads together with material in the same maximal projection, and it is only by moving the verb into INFL that we can obtain shared phonological phrasing in this case. It is important to point out that the two constructions headed by the verb have something in common: they have à•special reading with regard to the postverbal NP. Both constructions carry the meaning 'instead of.' It appears that the occurrence of an NP in situ is marked in Kiyaka. In fact, we will see later that the subject and object NPs usually occur outside the maximal projection of the verb. In other words, the postverbal position of the subject or object NP does not necessarily mean that it must phrase together with its verb. In Kiyaka as well as in many other languages, the subject normally surfaces in the TOPIC position or [Spec, CP]. Consequently, the subject and its verb phrase separately, because the two elements are not in the same maximal projection. The data in (26) confirm this (see also (28)).

The phrasing for this clause is accounted for as shown in (24). Following Koopman 1984 and Kinyalolo 1987, I assume that the verb moves into INFL for morphological purposes: agreement and tense affixation. As will be shown later, this position accounts for Verb-Subject word order, which obtains whenever the subject remains in situ. In the particular case of (24), the object NP is in situ and thus within the projection of the verb. Consequently, the verb and the object NP are included within a single phonological phrase. As we would expect, the tone of the verbal prefix ba- is donated to the verb stem, which in turn gives its own tone to the object noun. The tone of the noun deletes, and Plateauing takes place between the two associated tones. The phrasing illustrated by (24) is in no way limited to the verb and its object when the latter remains in situ. The verb and its subject can, in fact, phrase in the same way, provided the subject remains in situ, which is the case in (25) (see also 27).

everything else in this structure is identical to (28): the phrasing, and consequently the tonal behavior, match exactly. Unlike object preposing, object postposing does not require agreement with the verb. Again, the subject is kept in situ in example (41). Since the verb and the subject phrase together, tone donation will take place between them as usual. The object madya phrases separately and receives its own High on the phrase-final syllable.

This is made possible by just Chomsky\ adjoining one of the constituents to CP on the same side of the verb. : Finally, let us note that structures such as example (43) suggest that the ; position [Spec, CP) does not have a strict ordering: we find Spec on the : left of CP as [Spec, CP) or the right of CP as [CP, Spec). In summary, argument preposing and postposing accounts for the fact i that only the verb always surfaces in IP. In turn, the rule of phonological . phrasing formulated in (16) guarantees that constituents which do not "jjurface under the maximal projection of the verb will not phrase together ! with it.

Because of the difference in phrasing context between the two Raising rules, and the indifference of Superhigh Spread to the tonal specification of the syllable immediately following the Superhigh, it is possible to set up a tonal configuration in which adjacent accented High syllables compete to raise and spread. In such a configuration, shown in (32), a sequence of two toneless syllables must follow the two accented High-toned syllables so that either of the High tones, if raised, has an opportunity to spread. For ease of reference, I will call this the Rival High Configuration.
By varying the phrasing of this configuration, we will be able to identify the role phrasing plays in predicting (a) which accented High will raise, and (b) which resultant Superhigh will spread (in the event both raise). The role of phrasing in determining the result will then shed light on the question of cyclicity. H1 in (32) can raise only by Junctural Raising when attached to the p-final syllable, because only a High which is the last High in the phonological phrase may raise. Consequently all relevant phrasings of the Rival High Configuration must place- a juncture between the two High tones. H2, on the other hand, can raise in three different ways, depending on its position in its phonological phrase. In (33a) below, it is attached to the p-phrase-antepenultimate syllable and raises by Antepenultimate Raising; in (33b) it is linked to the penult and raises by Junctural Raising; finally, in (33c) it is attached to the final and only syllable of a monosyllabic phonological phrase and raises by Junctural Raising.

On the Separation Separation of Prosodic Prosodie and Rhythmic Rhythmic Phonology Phonology 253
We may now draw the rhythmie component the conclusion conclusion that that the the rhythmic component of phopho nology is the same for syllable-timed syllable-timed and and for stress-timed stress-timed languages; languages; it rhythmic alternation is characterized characterized by an aspiration aspiration towards towards maximal maximal rhythmic alternation (see, among among others, others, Sweet 1913, Dell 1984, Selkirk 1984). This This is in keepkeep ing with with the results results of phonetie phonetic experiments experiments carried carried out out by, among among others, others, Dauer Dau'er 1983, Borzone de Manrique Manrique and and Signorini 1983, and and den Os 1988. 1988. All of these these studies studies show that that the the distinction distinction between between syllable-timed syllable-timed and stress-timed languages is not stress-timed languages not one of rhythm, rhythm, since no distinction distinction in timtim ing exists exists between between the the two groups groups of languages. languages. The present present proposa! proposal is thus thus the the phonological phonological counterpart counterpart of these these phonetic phonetic discoveries.

A close look at languages languages of the the machine-gun machine-gun type type which lack fixed stress stress reveals the existence existence of clash avoidance avoidance rules similar similar to those those of English.

Giving RS this power would in addition addition that it would operate operate on two different make it a nonlocal nonlocal rule, in the sense that structures (the prosodic prosodie tree and rhythmic grid), another another undesirable structures and the rhythmic undesirable consequence. The against having having RS insert The second argument argument against insert a position position in the the grid is that that since each grid position proposa! position stands stands for a time unit, unit, such a proposal predicts predicts that that a long consonant consonant stretching stretching across two words will be longer than within a single word. However, tthis than a long consonant consonant contained contained within his Italian. On the contrary, contrary, measurements measurements difference is not significant significant in Italian. reported in Korzen Korzen 1980 of word-internal word-internal long consonants consonants and reported and of long consonants generated generated by RS reveal that that they equally long. In support consonants they are equally support this finding, Korzen Korzen 1986 shows that that native native speakers speakers find ambiguous ambiguous of this minimal pairs pairs of the reported in (22), where the first member member of each minimal the type type reported pair contains a word-internal word-internal long consonant consonant and the second member member a pair contains consonant lengthened by RS. consonant lengthened

A third undesirable consequence construing RS as the addition third undesirable consequence of construing addition of a position is the incorrect lengthening of the grid position incorrect prediction prediction that that the the lengthening the concon sonant will be the same whether whether there sonant there is a clash or not. However, an experimental study Marotta 1986 reveals that that the RS consoexperimental study reported reported in Marotta conso nant context of a clash. That w 22 bears bears nant is actually actually much longer in the context That is, if W its primary primary stress on the initial initial syllable, the consonant consonant is longer than than it otherwise Marotta considers these these three types of otherwise would be. To show this, Marotta three types sentences: sentences: a. sentences sentences in which the context context of application application of RS is met and where w 22 give rise to a clash stresses of w i1 and W the main main stresses context of application b. sentences sentences in which the context application of RS is met but but no arhythmic configuration arhythmic configuration is created created 12

It is lengthened and of the (b) type. lengthened significantly significantly more in (a), where there there stress clash. is a stress The treating RS as a grid position The fourth fourth argument argument against against treating position insertion insertion rule is that that the the insertion insertion of an X by RS should should be able to create create a lapse in environments environments such as that that in (24), where the the bold 1 represents·the represents'the grid position putatively putatively inserted inserted by RS. position (24) a.

However, the fact is that that no stress readjustment takes these cases. This taken as an indication indication that that there takes place in these This must must be taken there is no lapse in the first place, i.e., that inserted by that no position position was ever inserted RS. These four arguments arguments essentially essentially preclude preclude the the possibility possibility that These that RS changes the the grid configuration. configuration. We must must thus account account for the the data data of Toscan Tuscan Italian Italian in a different different way, and and I propose propose to do so within within the phonological system system presented presented in this this paper, paper, which separates separates prosodie prosodic phonological and and rhythmie rhytfimic phonology. My proposa! proposal is that that RS is a strictly strictly prosodie prosodic rule, whose application blind to the (non)existence application is blind (non)existence of a stress stress clash.

Implications Implications
The existence existence of the the Aoyagi prefixes is surprising surprising because because we generally generally assume that the domains assume that domains of phrasal phrasal rules are necessarily larger larger than than words, because because phrases phrases are made made up of words. But this this is true true only in a theory theory in which there there is a single hierarchy hierarchy of constituents. constituents. One of the innovations metrical theory theory is the notion that there innovations of the the metrical notion that there is a phonological phonological constituent constituent structure structure parallel parallel to and distinct distinct from the morphosyntactic constituent morphosyntactic constituent structure. structure. Most of the work on the the prosoproso die dic hierarchy hierarchy has dealt dealt with with supra-word-level supra-word-level constituency, constituency, but but there there has been some work extending extending phonological phonological constituency constituency down inside words. Booij and 1984, 1987 have appealed and Rubach Rubach 1984, appealed to phonological phonological words that that may be morphosyntactic morphosyntactic word-internal, word-internal, and and Inkelas 1989a has recently recently proposed proposed a further further extension, extension, in which there there are two completely completely parallel parallel hierarchies. this perspective hierarchies. Viewed from this perspective we should should not not be surprised surprised at questhe existence existence of word-internal word-internal phrase phrase boundaries, boundaries, for the words in ques tion are morphosyntactic, morphosyntactic, whereas whereas the the phrases phrases are prosodie, prosodic, and and there there is no good reason reason to assume assume that that the the two hierarchies hierarchies should should be aligned. The properties properties of the Aoyagi prefixes may be readily readily described described in terms terms of 6 ln addition, languages other than Chinese, ®In addition, there there are now many many loans loans from languages other than Chinese, and so-called so-called mimetic mimetic words, words, which which though though of native native origin origin exhibit exhibit certain certain phonological phonological peculiari ties. peculiarities.

Within the model of Lexical Phonology, phonology is divided divided into two Within Phonology, the phonology components, the lexical phonology and the postlexical components, phonology and postlexical phonology. (See Kiparsky 1986; Pulleyblank 1986; Kaisse 1985 Kiparsky 1982a, 1985b; Mohanan Mohanan 1986; Pulleyblank 1986; and others.) This division is motivated by the different ways in which and others.)

hypothesized that In early early Lexical Phonology, it was hypothesized that phonological phonological rules were assigned assigned to levels, either either to a lexical level or to the postlexical postlexical level ((e.g., e.g., Kiparsky Kiparsky 1982a). In more recent recent work on the lexical component, component, it has been been argued argued that that the phonology phonology is better better viewed as a unified black. block. Phonological available from the Phonological rules are available the outset outset of the phonology, with their actual application their actual application being being governed governed by three three interacting interacting principles, principles, the Strong Domain Domain Hypothesis, the Strong Hypothesis, the the Strict Strict Cycle Condition, Condition, and and Structure Structme Preservation. Preservation. These principles principles are summarized summarized in (2).

All rules are potentially potentially appliappli cable at the first level of the lexicon, and apply apply there there provided provided only that principles of the that the the principles the grammar grammar permit permit it; at lower levels of the lexicon and and in the postlexical postlexical phonology rules may be 'turned ‘turned off' off’ but 1984). but no new ones may be added added (Kiparsky (Kiparsky 1984). Strict Strict Cycle Condition Condition (SCC): If W is derived from a lexical enen try nondistinct from XPAQY and try W', W', where W' W' is nondistinct and distinct distinct from XPBQY, B// XP _QYY cannot XPBQY, then then a rule A-+ A -> B X P_Q cannot apply apply to W until until the word level (Kiparsky (Kiparsky 1985b:89). Structure features and structures Structure Preservation Preservation (SP): Nondistinctive Nondistinctive features structmes cannot introduced in the cannot be introduced the lexical phonology phonology (after (after Kiparsky Kiparsky 1985b).
While the SDH states states that that rules are available until until they they turn turn off, prepre venting venting a rule from beginning beginning application apphcation at any arbitrary arbitrary point point of the derivation, availderivation, all rules do not not in reality reality begin begin application application at at the first avail able domain. domain. This, Kiparsky Kiparsky argues, argues, is due to the interaction interaction of the SCC and and SP with with the SDH.

Postlexical Phonology Phonology Postlexical
Although 'postlexical phonology' encompasses Although ‘postlexical phonology’ encompasses word- and and phrasephrase- level phonology, the primary primary discussion discussion in Lexical Phonology Phonology has centered centered on the the word level.2^ Rule application application has received sophisticated sophisticated treatment treatment in word-level phonology, as outlined there has outlined above. In phrasal phrasal phonology, there also been considerable postlexical rules considerable focus on the domains domains in which postlexical apply apply and and how those domains domains are determined determined (see Selkirk, Kaisse, Nespor and Vogel, and others). Vogel, Hayes, and others). The question question of rule application application is largely neglected, however, even in a model such as that that of Kaisse 1985, which draws explicit parallels parallels between between the lexical and 1985, and phrasal phrasal phopho typical rule of the postlexical phonology is generally simply nology. A typical postlexical phonology generally simply assigned instance, Kaisse 1986 assigned to the the domain domain on which it applies. For instance, identifies Turkish Turkish liquid devoicing as a rule of the utterance utterance domain domain and Nespor and Vogel 1986 assign Italian Nespor Italian syntactic syntactic doubling doubling to the the phonophono logical phrase phrase level. The conception conception of rule application application at the the level of connected thus quite connected speech is thus quite different different from that that at the the level of word. 2

The predicting where and The principles principles available for predicting and how rules apply apply at the the word level have not been been extended extended to the phrasal phrasal phonology, and rules of connected connected speech are simply simply marked marked for the domain domain they they apply apply on. that the principles I propose propose that principles in (2) which determine determine domains domains of rule application relevant for the application in the lexical phonology phonology are also relevant the phrase-level phrase-level particular, the phonology.

By considering considering rule application govapplication in the phrasal phrasal phonology phonology to be gov erned by the same principles erned principles that that govern word-level phonology, the phopho consists of a number number of levels: lexical nology is unified. The phonology phonology consists levels (determined (determined by the language) and phrasal language) and phrasal levels of phonological phonological word, phonological phrase, intonational phrase, phonological phrase, intonational phrase, and utterance. utterance.^4 Levels below the utterance or intonational intonational phrase) tradiutterance ((or phrase) have characteristics characteristics tradi tionally assigned to lexical rules, as outlined in (1).

According Itô 1986 and and Borowsky 1986, extraprosodicity turns off at According to Ito extraprosodicity turns postlexical level, where the postlexical the postlexical postlexical level is essentially essentially the word level.

Many languages languages exhibit exhibit syllabification syllabification of a final consonant consonant of one mormor pheme pheme into the same syllable syllable as an initial initial vowel vowel of the following mormor pheme, pheme, both and between between words.

The The need for both both syllabisyllabi fication and resyllabification fication resyllabification is also implicit implicit in the model of syllabification syllabification proposed proposed by Itô Ito 1986. While Itô Ito accounts accounts nicely for syllabification syllabification of the final consonant consonant of a morpheme morpheme as an onset when the the following morpheme morpheme within within the the word is vowel-initial, she proposes, proposes, as mentioned mentioned above, that that extraprosodicity extraprosodicity turris turns off at the the word level.

Sources of Influence Influence Sources of
The most most widely recognized prosodie structure structure The recognized source source of influence on prosodic structure, typieally captured is a mapping mapping from syntactic syntactic to prosodie prosodic structure, typically captured this case the constraints by phrasing phrasing algorithms. algorithms. In this constraints go only in one direction, explicitly assumed the various phrasing phrasing algorithms algorithms direction, as is explicitly assumed in the proposed in the literature 1978; Nespor proposed literature (e.g., Selkirk 1978; Nespor and Vogel 1982, 1986; 1989; and others). 1986; Hayes 1989; others). Less commonly commonly recognized in the the literature other direction; direction; atme is the the fact that that constraints constraints may also hold in the other that requirethat is, some syntactic syntactic phenomena phenomena may be affected by prosodie prosodic require ments. phrasing ments. Clearly, however, these these effects do not result result from the the phrasing algorithm. algorithm. algorithm as only the most general, In fact, we view the the phrasing phrasing algorithm general, or elsewhere, mechanism mechanism for relating relating syntactie syntactic and prosodie prosodic structures. structures.

Second position position can actually actually be defined in two ways: either after a first fi~st word or after generally either after after a first constituent, constituent, and and speakers speakers generally have a choiee options, as shown in (1) and (2): choice between between these options,
