초록

The most widely held view on the syntax-phonology interface is built onthe assumption that phonological processes do not refer to syntacticconstituency directly, but rather to the derived prosodic structure. Revising this standard prosodic hierarchy theory, Selkirk (2009) putsforward a new universal Match theory, focusing on Japanesewh-questions. In particular, Selkirk maintains that the syntax-phonologyinterface universally calls for a clause to match up with the intonationalphrase. Jung (2010, 2012, 2013), on the other hand, advocates a directfeature reference analysis, based on Busan Korean wh-questions,according to which phonology interprets the syntactically-licensedwh-agreement features directly with its own constraints on the formationof wh-prosody. The present paper tries to show that the prosodicdomains of wh-questions cannot be predicted by Selkirk’s Match theoryeither in Japanese or in Korean due to the complexity and variability ofwh-prosodic patterns, and that the precise nature of wh-prosody can bebest explained by an interplay between syntax and phonology under thedirect feature reference analysis.

Abstract

The most widely held view on the syntax-phonology interface is built onthe assumption that phonological processes do not refer to syntacticconstituency directly, but rather to the derived prosodic structure. Revising this standard prosodic hierarchy theory, Selkirk (2009) putsforward a new universal Match theory, focusing on Japanesewh-questions. In particular, Selkirk maintains that the syntax-phonologyinterface universally calls for a clause to match up with the intonationalphrase. Jung (2010, 2012, 2013), on the other hand, advocates a directfeature reference analysis, based on Busan Korean wh-questions,according to which phonology interprets the syntactically-licensedwh-agreement features directly with its own constraints on the formationof wh-prosody. The present paper tries to show that the prosodicdomains of wh-questions cannot be predicted by Selkirk’s Match theoryeither in Japanese or in Korean due to the complexity and variability ofwh-prosodic patterns, and that the precise nature of wh-prosody can bebest explained by an interplay between syntax and phonology under thedirect feature reference analysis.
