An argument that the word order of a given language is largely predictable from independently observable facts about its phonology and morphology.


An argument that the word order of a given language is largely predictable from independently observable facts about its phonology and morphology.
Focusing on the intersection of syntax and phonology, this study delves into complex syntactic issues, particularly case phenomena and the patterns of overt and covert wh-movement. It aims to provide deeper insights into these challenges, exploring how phonological elements influence syntactic structures and vice versa. The work is significant for those interested in the intricacies of linguistic theory and the underlying mechanisms that govern language structure.
