Primes¶
- Hierarchical Decomposability
- Each level has its own grammar of coherent units; cross-level coupling (a phoneme's contribution to discourse meaning) is real but mediated through intermediate levels, the nested-coherence layout Jackendoff (2002) develops in his treatment of the parallel architecture of phonological, syntactic, and semantic levels in language.
This sourceDevelops the Parallel Architecture in which phonology, syntax, and semantics are independent generative components, each with its own primitives and combinatorial principles, linked through interface components; nested coherent levels (phoneme → morpheme → word → phrase → clause → sentence → discourse) operate as a near-decomposable linguistic hierarchy.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
