Description for Layering and Directionality: Metrical Stress in Optimality Theory (Advances in Optimality Theory)
Hardcover. Layering and Directionality is unique in the OT literature in that it examines both the formulation of constraints that produce directional parsing effects and it also addresses assumptions concerning prosodic and metrical structure. Series: Advances in Optimality Theory. Num Pages: 256 pages. BIC Classification: CF. Category: (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 234 x 156. Weight in Grams: 671.
The metrical grid, the prosodic hierarchy, and the devices that establish directional parsing effects are closely intertwined in metrical stress theory. The metrical grid is the structure that represents stress patterns. The locations of stressed positions on the grid are constrained by the positions of categories in the prosodic hierarchy. Both the metrical grid and the prosodic hierarchy are manipulated by constraints, such as alignment constraints, that establish directional orientations within these structures. Assumptions about the representations affect the behavior of the constraints, and the particular formulation of the constraints influences the ultimate configuration of the representations.
