حينما يستجد التركيب بالصواتة : حالتا دفع الالتباس و تأسيس علاقات تركيبية

Abstract EN

The objective of this paper is to demonstrate that the pause, as a prosodic (phonological) phenomenon, is not dependent on syntax, nor is it one of the byproducts thereof, as claimed in generative phonology.

In order to argue for the recourse of syntax to the pause and reorganization of speech to be complete and significant, the author draws on a language heritage provided by grammarians, interpretation specialists and purists, on the one hand, and a linguistic heritage undermined by the predominant theories in the linguistic landscape.

The paper focuses on two phenomena: the role of the pause in disambiguating syntactic chunks, and the pause as a catalyst for establishing syntactic structures.

Prosodic phonological theory has been adopted in this regard, as it has been developed within the generative paradigm.
