A recent wave of research has explored the link between wh- syntax and prosody, breaking with the traditional generative conception of a unidirectional syntax-phonology relationship. In this book, Jason Kandybowicz develops Anti-contiguity Theory as a compelling alternative to Richards' Contiguity Theory to explain the interaction between the distribution of interrogative expressions and the prosodic system of a language. Through original and highly detailed fieldwork on several under-studied West African languages (Krachi, Bono, Wasa, Asante Twi, and Nupe), Kandybowicz presents empirically and theoretically rich analyses bearing directly on a number of important theories of the syntax-prosody interface. His observations and analyses stem from original fieldwork on all five languages and represent some of the first prosodic descriptions of the languages. The book also considers data from thirteen additional typologically diverse languages to demonstrate the theory's reach and extendibility.

Against the backdrop of data from eighteen languages, Anti-contiguity offers a new lens on the empirical and theoretical study of wh- prosody.

Recenzijos

This book is a very welcome contribution to research on the syntax-phonology interface. Empirically, it explores in depth a wealth of prosodic and syntactic data from lesser-described West African languages, and theoretically, it raises a number of important and challenging questions which will help guide future research. The approach taken in this work investigates core issues at the syntax-prosody interface in a way that engages seriously with insights from diverse subfields, including phonetics, phonology, prosody, syntax, and the syntax-phonology interface. * Emily Elfner, York University *
