| Publisher Description: The book presents a generative account of the relation between the prosodic and syntactic structure in Hungarian. It shows that, in order to account for the various scope readings of a single syntactic structure, one has to consider the respective prosodic realizations suggesting a direct relation between Phonetic Form and Logical Form. Universal principles of this relation are supported by data from a number of languages. Contents: Preliminary Thoughts on Prosody - On Stress and its Manifestations - Stress and Syntactic vs. Semantic Categories - Metrical Phonology and the Syntax of Hungarian - The Outlines of a Metrical Model of Hungarian Sentence - Complex Prosodic Structures and their Logical Interpretation - Operator Scope and Prosody - Logical Form, Prosody and Universal Implications. |
