Abstract:
This dissertation proposes a theory of conditions on prosodic
constituents and how they relate to morphological categories.
A significant effect of such conditions is that they can
impose minimal and maximal size limits on roots and words.
A good deal of research has established that there are minimality
restrictions on words (McCarthy & Prince 1986, Hayes 1995);
this dissertation shows how minimal restrictions on roots
and maximal size restrictions on both roots and words can
be characterized through Prosodic Morphology.
