All chapters point to the conclusion that the phonological domains that we call words are read off of the morphosyntactic structure in particular ways. Questions such as whether there are restrictions on the size of structures that distinguish words from phrases, or whether there are combinatory operations that are specific to one or the other, are central to the debate. In this respect, chapters in the volume do not all agree. This volume takes a variety of approaches to the question 'what is a word?', with particular emphasis on where in the grammar wordh
