  • Syntactical Juncture in Colloquial Chilean Spanish: The Actor-Action Phrase

  • Kahane and Beym's analysis of syntactical juncture in colloquial Mexican Spanish, Lg. 24.388–96 (1948), based on the pronunciation of a single speaker—a woman from Oaxaca—, throws considerable light on the problem under consideration, and is a forward step in the analysis of Spanish structure. Though these authors recognize the obvious disadvantages of their method of getting raw data, namely the use of only one informant and the reading—as against spontaneous speaking—of a play, they seek to generalize their findings as valid for the Spanish language as a whole. Nevertheless, they leave the door open for further investigation of detailed material in order to arrive at objective criteria valid for Spanish in general.

  • Contrastive Aspects of the WU Dialects

  • Yuen Ren Chao
  • Journal:
    Language / Volume 43 / Issue 1 / March 1967

  • The Wu dialects of China are a group of dialects spoken in the southeastern part of Kiangsu province and in most of the province of Chekiang. The most characteristic feature of these dialects is the tripartite division of initial stops into voiceless unaspirated, voiceless aspirated, and voiced aspirated, a feature which constitutes a defining differentia of Wu. Within Wu, the voiced initials of Chekiang are more fully voiced than in Kiangsu, and there is less double reading because of borrowing from Mandarin. Another intra-Wu contrast discussed is the fronting of diphthongs cognate with Mandarin ou along the Grand Canal.

  • The Chomsky-Halle Nuclear Stress Rule and its modification by Bresnan, and to some extent the criticisms that have been leveled at it, have in common an attempt to account for accent in terms of syntax. Instead, accent should be viewed as independent, directly reflecting the speaker's intent and only indirectly the syntax. Accented words are points of information focus.
