    This study forms part of an ongoing research program to build a restrictive model of representation. This model assumes that phonological entities are mapped onto the acoustic signal according to the dependency/licensing relations they hold in representation, its aim being to eliminate the need to specify the linear ordering of segments within syllabic constituents. The focus of this work is to extend the scope of the model to entire syllables, thereby unifying the onset and the nucleus into a single component, a set of phonological primes. To achieve this, the present study calls for a refinement of two types of relational properties holding among the primes—namely, endocentric dependency and exocentric dependency—in such a way that they determine the simultaneous/successive mapping of phonological entities onto the signal. It is also necessary to revise the theory of primes, phonological elements, so that computation of the mapping is more precisely defined.

    This study is a revision of earlier work in which I developed a restrictive model of representation based on the relational mechanisms of dependency and licensing. The focus of this study is the syllable onset. In it I have argued for a refinement of the onset as a categorically unary component. Apparently 'complex' onsets are represented phonologically as elemental expressions, not as clusters or contours. At the level of phonological representation, elemental expressions need not specify the ordering of segments in a string; rather, the precedence relations between segments in the acoustic signal is determined by an interpretation system lying outside the grammar. This refinement of the syllable onset may possibly be extended to the syllable itself, thereby rendering the onset-nucleus split redundant. This would leave the nucleus as the only syllabic component, and the resulting picture would be one in which syllabic representation comprises a linear sequence of nuclei.

    This study has developed a restrictive model of representation constructed on a relational mechanism of dependency and licensing. Couched in a constraint-based framework, this study has examined the initial gemination observed in Micronesian languages and Huasteco stress system, claiming that these phenomena should be accounted for not by introducing new specific constraints but by the permutation of widely attested, general constraints. This study also paves the way to a claim that the distinction between the syllable and the mora is redundant in Japanese.
  • Syllable Theory without syllables
    The Other Research Programs
    Date (from‐to) : 1992 -2004 
    In pursuit of maximal theoretical restrictiveness, this study puts forward a purely relational theory of syllabic structure devoid of syllabic constituents.
