109 (ARIPUC 9, 1975) GRAMMATICAL BOUNDARIES IN PHONOLOGY Hans Basb~ll Abstract: This paper 1 is divided into two main parts: (1) on grammatical boundaries in generative. phonology, including an overview of boundaries in the phonology of French, and (2) which con- centrates on the evidence for grammatical boundaries, and where both French and Danish examples are discussed. This bipartition is mainly made for expository reasons, and there is a considerable overlapping in the contents of the two sections. 1. Grammatical boundaries in generative phonology 1.1 Boundaries in relation to syntax Within the transformational-generative paradigm questions like the following are central for the discussion of boundaries: By which convention(s) are boundaries inserted? Are they in~ serted on the basis of the syntactic surface structure alone (possibly in the readjustment component), or does the insertion of boundaries depend on information which is available only on deeper syntactic levels? If the latter is the case, are the boundaries moved (by movement-transformations) together with the material they delimit, or are they left behind? How are the boundaries affected by the readjustment rules? I shall not try to discuss these and similar questions here (let alone try to answer them), since this approach implies the serious danger 1) The paper was read at the Second Meeting of Scandinavian Linguists, held at Oslo on April 19-20, 1975, and at a guest lecture at the University of Uppsala on May 22, 1975. I am in- debted to Eli Fischer-J~rgensen, J~rgen Rischel, Nina Thorsen and Oluf Thorsen for helpful comments on the manuscript.
