‘‘Case suffixes’’, postpositions, and the phonological word in Hungarian*Trommer, Jochen 02 May 2024 (has links)
In this article I propose a new construction algorithm for the phonological
word in Hungarian. Based on a detailed discussion of the di¤erences between
so-called ‘postpositions’ and ‘case su‰xes’, I show that both types of
adpositional elements are of the same morphosyntactic category, and that
phonological word status depends not on an arbitrary division between
a‰xes and syntactically free items, but on phonological properties of
the respective adpositions: Bisyllabic adpositions form phonological
words on their own, while monosyllabic adpositions are integrated into
the phonological word of their lexical head. Generalizing this result, I
argue that all functional elements of Hungarian traditionally called ‘inflectional
a‰xes’ are syntactically independent functional heads integrated into
the phonological word of a preceding lexical head because they are prosodically
too small. I show that apparently bisyllabic inflectional a‰xes must
either be decomposed into di¤erent markers or are underlyingly monosyllabic,
and develop a ranking of optimality-theoretic alignment constraints
implementing the construction algorithm for the phonological word in formal
detail.
