Abstract
Abstract This final chapter takes up the question of rule interaction and domains. Problems uncovered here force rejection of the claim in Lexical Phonology that syntax is ordered after the lexical phonological component. Therefore a more traditional view of syntax ˜ lexicon interaction is adopted, which orders syntax before lexical phonology, thereby allowing lexical rules to have access to information contained in neighbouring words. This chapter provides empirical motivation for the claim that lexical rules have access to the output of syntax. It will be shown that certain sandhi rules are lexical, since they are either provably cyclic or else precede rules which are cyclic. One such rule is Shortening (6.1.1), which applies to the head of a phrase and for that reason must refer to the output of syntax; but this rule is also ordered between applications of Glide Formation at Levels 1 and 2.
