Structural analogy in language, and its limits

  • unpublished ms.
  • Structural analogy in language, and its limits is a heavily expanded version of the concepts and the material discussed in Anderson (2002) Structural analogy and universal grammar and Anderson (2003) Contrast in phonology... . §1 seeks to establish some of the fundamental properties of phonology and their role, if any, in contrast. §2 is concerned with the structural analogy assumption and considers to what extent the properties of phonology are replicated in the syntax, and tries to identify structural discrepancies between phonology and syntax. §3 then confronts apparent discrepancies in structure and tries to formulate a principled basis for them, and thus to sketch out some of the main limits to structural analogy.
