Phonological word

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The phonological word or pword (symolised as ω) is a constituent in the Universal Prosodic Hierarchy higher than the syllable and the foot but lower than Intonational Phrase and the Phonological Phrase. It is largely held (Hall, 1999) to be a prosodic domain in which phonological features within the same lexeme may spread from one morph to another or from one clitic to a clitic host or from one clitic host to a clitic.
