12 The Form of Structure,
This volume brings together articles by some major figures in
the Structure of Form
The Form of Structure, the Structure of Form
various linguistics domains phonology, morphology and syntax BENDJABALLAH, FAUST, LAHROUCHI & LAMPITELLI
aiming at explaining the form of linguistic items be they
phonemes, morphemes, phonological words or intonation units
by exploring the structures that underlie them.
The book is divided in 5 parts: vowels, syllables, templates, syntax- Edited by Sabrina Bendjaballah,
morphology interface and Semitic languages. Specific topics are the
internal structure of vowels and its relation to harmony; the logic Noam Faust, Mohamed Lahrouchi
of recurrent vocalic patterns; syllabic prominence; the interaction and Nicola Lampitelli
of syllabic and templatic structure and segmental realization;
Language Faculty and Beyond
Internal and External Variation in Linguistics

the innateness of templates and paradigms; the limits of phonology;

and various morpho-syntactic implications on phonological form.
The emerging conclusion is that a complete understanding of
form can only be achieved by abstracting away from the phonetic
reality and by exploring the structures of other linguistic domains
and modules. It renders homage to Jean Lowenstamms career,
in France and abroad.
