Prosody of syntax & syntax of prosody
In the first part of my PhD thesis I have provided a detailed grammar of Turkish prosodic structures, and related this grammar to the syntactic properties of utterances. Being aware of the architectural issues surrounding contemporary formal linguistics, I have taken steps to better integrate extant formal prosodic research couched in Prosodic Structure Theory (in particular Match Theory) within the Minimalist Program (MP) and Distributed Morphology (DM) frameworks. In this work, I developed a novel derivational model of how prosodic constituents are built which utilizes a rule-based system of prosody, and hence abandons representational models like OT. I demonstrated that this model not only confers conceptual parsimony that accords with the assumptions of DM, but also straightforwardly explains the patterns of prosodic-constituency formation in Turkish (which I claim is a prosodically a non-recursive language) and Tagalog (which I claim is prosodically a recursive language).
I have published a number of reference articles that describe the prosodic grammar of Turkish, and its relation to Turkish syntax.
I have also produced work on the prosodic properties of compounds, and some other syntax-related topics such as whether prosodic constituency is dependent on syntactic phases in Turkish.
