How Stress Determinates Head Positions in French and English Syntax

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This study argues that head placement (initial or final) is determined by identical principles in both syntactic and morphological domains. The universal default for head placement is final, in both phrases and words, but this default is obligatory onlyin two classes of "closed domains," namely (i) phrasal domain immediately dominating specifiers (e. g. subjects, possessive phrases and measure phrases that precede predicates) and (ii) X0 domains immediately dominating bound morphemes. Elsewhere, in "open domains," a language´s stress patterns, i. e. its most basic phonology, determine syntactic word order. The basic machanism generalizes Nespor and Vogel´s (1982) Complement Law: in open domains heads are placed at the periphery that generally receivesless stress. Syntactic combinations in French words and phrases are uniformly stressed on the right, so in all open domains its heads are on the left. Since English has left hand stress in (only) X0 with open class heads, head placement
