One contribution examines the phonological note in an indication language.
The theoretical matters handled within the ebook contain: facts for the phonological notice (e.g. principles, phonotactics, syllabification, tension patterns), the relationship among morphosyntactic and prosodic constitution (e.g. alignment phenomena in Optimality Theory), and the connection among the phonological note and different prosodic components (e.g. the prosodic illustration of clitics).
The quantity might be of curiosity to all linguists and complex scholars of linguistics engaged on Prosodic Phonology, phonology-morphology and phonology-syntax interface and Optimality concept.

This argument can also be made on the basis of Semitic languages where lexical morphemes can consist of a sequence of consonants without intervening vowels. That is, these lexical morphemes are always unsyllabifiable, but this is no problem since the non-concatenative morphology of these languages will take care of this, and will insert vowels in between the consonants. Consequently, there are no pronunciation problems. An important implication of this approach is that it introduces output constraints into phonology: the phonological well-formedness of words is determined at the output level: principle (4) is an output constraint that applies after syllabification has taken place.
As phrase-formation moves from grouping words > cliticization > affixation) is a measure of its degree of polysynthesis. Thus, polysynthesis can be treated as, rather than a morphosyntactic issue, an issue of phonology and of the extent to which the processes of phonological word formation override syntactic divisions in an utterance, making polysynthesis a measure of (or at least the diachronic product of) variations in prosodie organi zation and its relation to the syntactic and morphological structure of language.
Italian words usually end in a vowel which functions as a morphological ending. ' respectively). Clearly, the morpheme pizz does not obey the prosodic minimality conditions of Italian. This, however, is not a problem if the phonotactic constraints of a language do not refer to morphemes, but to (prosodie) words. This argument can also be made on the basis of Semitic languages where lexical morphemes can consist of a sequence of consonants without intervening vowels. That is, these lexical morphemes are always unsyllabifiable, but this is no problem since the non-concatenative morphology of these languages will take care of this, and will insert vowels in between the consonants.
