By providing a synchronic and diachronic account of the syllable and the phonological word in Central Catalan (Catalan dialect group) and Swabian (Alemannic dialect group), the author shows how the evolution of Old Catalan and Old Alemannic can be explained in terms of a typological drift toward an increased relevance of the phonological word. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFurther, the description of Central Catalan and Swabian allows to identify common strategies for profiling the phonological word and thus makes an important contribution to research on prosodic phonology. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Javier Caro Reina\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3110555387\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783110555387\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e de Gruyter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/08\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 463\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.20w x 1.10d","brand":"Javier Caro Reina","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136977678591,"sku":"9783110555387","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5ca7d234-2831-43b9-a5f4-9cd08a2af06b.jpg?v=1770165725","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/central-catalan-and-swabian-javier-caro-reina-9783110555387","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
