The phonological word in the Ningbo dialect
Xiang Lyu | Indiana University
This paper examines the domain of the prosodic word in the Ningbo dialect. The goal of this paper is to provide a
critical review of the studies on the prosodic word (PW) in various languages of the world, and to investigate the phonological
phenomena within the domain formed by morpho-syntactic words in the Ningbo dialect as well as discussing the role that the
prosodic word plays in the phonological rule application in the Ningbo dialect.This paper provides a complete survey on various types of morpho-syntactic formation in the Ningbo dialect as well
as examining the application of phonological phenomena with reference to the different types of morpho-syntactic words. It will
show that the lexical tone sandhi rule (LTS) applies within the domain formed by the major types of morpho-syntactic words in
Ningbo dialect. However, pure phonological information may also affect the application of LTS.
Keywords: prosodic phonology, Ningbo dialect, prosodic word, tone sandhi, diminutive, lexical phonology, minimal word requirement
