This paper presents a syntax-oriented analysis of a seemingly phonological phenomenon in the domain of compounding in Sino-Korean, Chinese, and Sino-Japanese. I examine the compounding patterns focusing on self-compounds and argue that the notion of ‘disyllabicity’ defined in this paper is better understood as involving both phonology and syntax. I propose a syntax-based account of ‘disyllabicity’ in terms of Distributed Morphology, according to which a root compound has a limited capacity of hosting at most two incorporated roots. A careful and cross-linguistic examination of self-compounding reveals that the notion of disyllabicity is in part illusional due to its syntactic aspect unnoticed so far. I argue that ‘disyllabicity’ is an epiphenomenon, which emerges due to a syllabic-length profile of lexical items in a given language, in conjunction with the constraint that serves to limit the number of incorporated roots.
Abstract
This paper presents a syntax-oriented analysis of a seemingly phonological phenomenon in the domain of compounding in Sino-Korean, Chinese, and Sino-Japanese. I examine the compounding patterns focusing on self-compounds and argue that the notion of ‘disyllabicity’ defined in this paper is better understood as involving both phonology and syntax. I propose a syntax-based account of ‘disyllabicity’ in terms of Distributed Morphology, according to which a root compound has a limited capacity of hosting at most two incorporated roots. A careful and cross-linguistic examination of self-compounding reveals that the notion of disyllabicity is in part illusional due to its syntactic aspect unnoticed so far. I argue that ‘disyllabicity’ is an epiphenomenon, which emerges due to a syllabic-length profile of lexical items in a given language, in conjunction with the constraint that serves to limit the number of incorporated roots.
