Abstract
This chapter presents interaction between modules in lexical phonology (LP). In the phonological component, rules are encoded for domain of application, specifically the lowest and highest numbered levels where the rule may apply. As is well known, cyclicity in LP can be expressed in two ways: (1) if a rule resides in two consecutive levels, cyclicity arises when the rule applies at level Ln–1 and at level Ln, and (2) if Ln is deemed cyclic, cyclicity results when some rule applies to each substring resulting from morphological operations within Ln. Arguments have been given against the claim that morphology and phonology interact in the way implied by the model. This certainly does not refute LP, as the model might still be right, even if there is no evidence for it in the realm of information access. At this stage, though, it is not obvious where else one could derive support for the interactive model.
