1732-8160 A Typology of Stranded Phonologically Weak Elements Bošković Željko author University of Connecticut 02der9h97 Correspondence to: Željko Bošković zeljko.boskovic@uconn.edu 15 12 2023 Vol. 18, Issue 3 Volume 18 (2023) 85 95 Copyright © 2023 2023 <p>The paper presents a unified account of a number of superficially very different cases from Japanese, Serbo-Croatian, German, and Dutch where a phonologically weak element is stranded without a host. It proposes a new typology regarding when a phonologically weak element can be stranded where adjacency to a prosodic boundary is necessary for such stranding, with parametrization regarding the strength of the prosodic boundary: it can be an utterance boundary (║) or an intonational-phrase boundary (#), or either║or # (in the last case, both boundaries can license the stranding). Furthermore, the difference in the direction of adjacency to the prosodic boundary mirrors the difference in the adjacency to the host: if the relevant element is a prefix/proclitic, both the host and the prosodic boundary follow it, if it is an enclitic/suffix, they both precede it.</p> 1 Abe Jun (2015). The In-situ Approach to Sluicing.
