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.
