The Phonological Phrase as a prosodic domain in Akó The Phonological Phrase as a prosodic domain in Akóóse

Akóóse, like most Bantu languages, has a number of phonological rules applying to words and phrases which are sensitive to syntactic structures. The language therefore presents a test for the theory of the interaction between syntactic structure and phonology, that is, its phrasal phonology.

    In this paper, I investigate the relevant prosodic domain for the application of phonological rules beyond the word level in Akóóse. The claim is that the phonological phrase is the level or domain for the application of phrasal rules in this language. This domain is motivated in Akóóse by the existence of postlexical rules that apply beyond the word level and the clitic group, but within a unit smaller than the utterance. The paper therefore seeks to show that there are phonological rules that are peculiar to the phrasal phonology of Akóóse and that the phonological phrase is the domain for the application of such rules.

    A l’ instar de beaucoup de langues bantoues, la phonologie de la langue akóóse contient des règles phonologiques qui s’appliquent au niveau du mot ou du syntagme et qui sont sensibles aux structures syntaxiques. La langue est ainsi un champ idéal pour tester la théorie de l’interaction entre la syntaxe et la phonologie, c'est-à-dire, sa phonologie syntagmatique.

                L’objet de cet article est focalisé sur le domaine prosodique approprié pour l’application des règles phonologiques au-delà du niveau du mot en akóóse. Nous soutenons l’hypothèse selon laquelle le syntagme phonologique est le domaine privilégié  pour l’application des règles syntagmatiques dans cette langue. Le choix de ce domaine est motivé par  l’existence des règles postlexicales qui s’appliquent au-delà du niveau du mot et du groupe de clitique mais endéans d’une unité plus petite que l’énoncé. Cet article cherche à montrer qu’il y a des règles phonologiques qui s’appliquent exclusivement dans la phonologie syntagmatique de l’ akóóse  et que c’est le syntagme phonologique qui est le domaine d’application de telles règles.
