Research Abstract

The present research is primarily intended to make theoretical and descriptive investigations of nonlinear phonology, especially to develop the theory itself and obtain new facts and findings. Fortunately, as we could organize a systematic research group, hold a meeting for discussion and oral report, and exchange informations and opinions, good results are brought about in the last three years. First, Head Investigator demonstrated that some crucial defects and problems are involved in the traditional metrics for Germanic verse which is based on the linearity principle, and in order to explain peculiar metrical structures observed in Old English verse, the metrical framework of nonlinear phonology is indispensable. He also succeeded in presenting a new prosodic model for Old English verse by incorporating in it research products of the recent metrical theory such as multi-dimentional structure, internal syllable structure, and sonority hierarchy of segments. On the other hand, Suiko focused his analysis upon the relationship between nonlinear phonology and syntax, and attempted a modification and development to the previous theory. The results of his research are well reflected not only in his article but also in his book Grammar and Pronunciation(1985, Taishukan). Yamada made a research on the lexical phonology for Early Modern English and Modern English, the outcome of which is highly estimated as deserving for the development of the theory. Tabata analysed Japanese segments and the internal structure of a syllable; the results will contribute to verify the validity of the theory itself. Mikami attempted a new analysis of the vowels of Mongolian in the framework of nonlinear phonology, and sicceeded in getting some new findings. Residual problems are still before us, and we will reorganize the present research group, and start a new investigation based upon the achievements we have made in the last three years.
