초록
A bracketing paradox refers to the phenomenon that there are twocontradictory demands on the analysis of a word like unhappier. Theword unhappier must be analyzed as [[un happy]er], if we consider thescope relation between un and er, but the syllable constraint requires itto be analyzed as [un [happy er]]. This article explores the possibility ofresolving various types of bracketing paradox by making use ofadjunction structure. According to this approach, various types ofbracketing paradoxes, including the unhappier type, follow if we assumethat there is parallelism between word formation and phrase formation. More specifically, I claim that (i) certain morphemes like un are adjunctmorphemes, (ii) affixation takes place in the course of deriving a wordas well as in the course of generating a phrase, and (iii) bracketingparadox arises when affixation takes place across an adjunct.
