This dissertation investigates the morphosyntax-prosody interactions in Fuzhou. It looks into this issue by examining how the domains for lexical and post-lexical tone sandhi are determined by a range of competing factors, including prosodic and morphosyntactic factors. The specific analysis is set within the framework of prosodic structure theory (Selkirk 1978b/81 et seq.; Nespor & Vogel 1986/2007b; Hayes 1989a, among others). The dissertation offers a new solution to the long-lasting problem about how tone sandhi is constrained by morphosyntax. It also contributes empirical data for future studies. The sandhi pattern and the formation of tone sandhi domains (TSDs) are thoroughly explored in words and phrases with various kinds of configurations. The questions are: (i) What is the nature of the TSDs in terms of which domain-sensitive tone sandhi phenomena are defined? (ii) What factors are involved in determining the formation of TSDs, and how do they interact with each other? The investigations show that a TSD normally ranges from two to four syllables. In either lexical or post-lexical sandhi, the same three-way distinction of tonal behavior is present within every TSD. Final syllable retains its citation tone. Penultimate syllable's sandhi tone is dependent on final syllable's citation tone. Antepenultimate syllable (if exists) neutralizes to a low tone. Using the tonal behavior as indicators for identifying edges of TSDs, the study finds a close correspondence between TSDs and morphological/syntactic words, but the two are not always isomorphic. It is argued that every TSD equals to a prosodic word (PrWd). The distinct sandhi behavior within each TSD is attributed to the right-headed structure of the PrWd. A constraint-based analysis is developed to explain how different morphological or syntactic constructions are parsed as PrWd-domains. At word level, two sets of constraints are at work. The first set includes several prosodic markedness constraints, which regulate the domination and the prominence relations within each PrWd. The second set governs the correspondences between PrWds and morphological constituents. It is observed that words with different degrees of compositionality behave differently when they are parsed as PrWds. This variation in prosodic parsing is argued to be the result of the interaction between prosodic markedness constraints and interface constraints, which relate a full morphological word or a word-internal component to PrWd. At phrase level, the interaction of prosodic markedness constraints and interface constraints successfully account for the prosodic parsing of Type I constructions, where tone sandhi can sometimes cross the boundary between two lexical words. However, the interaction of the two sets of constraints does not provide a full solution to the prosodic parsing of Type II constructions, where the sandhi is always blocked at the boundary between two lexical words. To accommodate this, a model of cyclic interaction of syntax and phonology is adopted. It states that prosodic structures are created at different stages, not a single point when full syntactic structure is constructed. Therefore, the difference in the syntactic derivations of the two types of constructions could result in different prosodic structures built in the two constructions.
