Logical Transductions for the Typology of Ditransitive Prosody
Abstract:
Given the empirical landscape of possible prosodic parses, this paper examines
the computations required to formalize the mapping from syntactic structure to prosodic
structure. In particular, we use logical tree transductions to define the prosodic
mapping of ditransitive verb phrases in SVO languages, building off of the typology
described in Kalivoda (2018). Explicit formalization of syntax-prosody mapping revealed
a number of unanswered questions relating to the fine details of theoretical assumptions
behind prosodic mapping.
