In previous research, word–word compounds and stressed affix + word structures have been assigned to the same prosodic domain in Brazilian Portuguese (BP), on account of certain similarities in phonological behaviour (Silva 2010, Toneli 2014): both types of composite structures undergo vowel raising at the right edge of each element in the construction, and vowel sandhi processes between their elements. In this paper, I show that word–word compounds and stressed affix + word structures exhibit significant differences in stress patterns in BP, which supports their prosodization in two separate domains. While stressed affix + word structures are assigned secondary stress following the phonological word (PWd) stress algorithm, each element in word–word compounds behaves as an independent PWd with regard to the stress pattern that it exhibits. I thus propose that while stressed affix + word structures are recursively prosodized in the PWd domain, word–word compounds are prosodized in the composite group, the domain proposed by Vogel (2008, 2009) that immediately dominates the PWd and accounts for the prosodization of structures with compositional characteristics. The analysis reconciles two views on prosodic structure that are traditionally assumed to be mutually exclusive: the view that prosodic domains can be recursive (e.g. Inkelas 1990, Selkirk 1996) and the view that the prosodic hierarchy includes an additional domain specific to composite structures above the PWd (e.g. Vogel 2009, Vigário 2010).

巴西葡萄牙语复合结构的韵律表示

在之前的研究中，由于语音行为的某些相似性，词-词复合词和重读词缀 + 词结构已被分配到巴西葡萄牙语 (BP) 中的相同韵律域（Silva 2010，Toneli 2014）：这两种复合结构在结构中每个元素的右边缘进行元音提升，并在它们的元素之间进行元音sandhi处理。在本文中，我展示了单词-单词复合和重读词缀+单词结构在 BP 中的重读模式上表现出显着差异，这支持了它们在两个独立域中的韵律化。虽然重读词缀 + 词结构按照语音词 (PWd) 重读算法分配了次重重音，但词-词复合中的每个元素就其表现出的重读模式而言表现为独立的 PWd。因此，我提出，虽然重读词缀 + 词结构在 PWd 域中递归韵律化，但词-词复合词在复合组中韵律化，Vogel (2008, 2009) 提出的域立即主导 PWd 并解释了具有组成特征的结构。该分析调和了两种传统上被认为是相互排斥的关于韵律结构的观点：韵律域可以递归的观点（例如 Inkelas 1990，Selkirk 1996）和韵律层次结构包括特定于复合结构之上的附加域的观点。 PWd（例如 Vogel 2009、Vigário 2010）。Vogel (2008, 2009) 提出的域立即支配了 PWd，并解释了具有组成特征的结构的韵律化。该分析调和了两种传统上被认为是相互排斥的关于韵律结构的观点：韵律域可以递归的观点（例如 Inkelas 1990，Selkirk 1996）和韵律层次结构包括特定于复合结构之上的附加域的观点。 PWd（例如 Vogel 2009、Vigário 2010）。Vogel (2008, 2009) 提出的域立即支配了 PWd，并解释了具有组成特征的结构的韵律化。该分析调和了两种传统上被认为是相互排斥的关于韵律结构的观点：韵律域可以递归的观点（例如 Inkelas 1990，Selkirk 1996）和韵律层次结构包括特定于复合结构之上的附加域的观点。 PWd（例如 Vogel 2009、Vigário 2010）。
