本文分析了爱尔兰语句法和韵律成分之间的不匹配，并试图根据最近关于句法-韵律界面性质的提案来理解这些不匹配。它特别指出，这种不匹配最好根据 Selkirk (2011) 的匹配理论来理解，该理论与节奏和音韵平衡相关的约束相结合。一种明显异常的向右运动，似乎针对某些代词并将其向右移动，被证明从根本上来说是一个音韵过程：对韵律困境的韵律反应。因此，这篇文章为语音因素在塑造构成秩序中的作用提供了越来越多的证据。
This article analyzes mismatches between syntactic and prosodic constituency in Irish and attempts to understand those mismatches in terms of recent proposals about the nature of the syntax-prosody interface. It argues in particular that such mismatches are best understood in terms of Selkirk’s (2011) Match Theory, working in concert with constraints concerned with rhythm and phonological balance. An apparently anomalous rightward movement that seems to target certain pronouns and shift them rightward is shown to be fundamentally a phonological process: a prosodic response to a prosodic dilemma. The article thereby adds to a growing body of evidence for the role of phonological factors in shaping constituent order.
