«Phonology and Syntax» is the linguistics study by Elisabeth O. Selkirk, published by MIT Press in hardcover (424 pages, in English).
Proposes a new approach to phonology and its relation to syntax, pioneering in systematizing that connection. It argues that intonational structure determines sentence stress and rhythm, and offers a theory of the focus-prosody relationship. Includes the metrical grid of stress and the phonology of English function words.
Part of the Current Studies in Linguistics collection, volume 10; the work was originally published in 1984.
Reference work for university students and linguistics specialists, particularly those interested in phonology and syntax.
