How does the prosody influence verb-included compound

It is not the result of syntactic or morphologic operation for the forming of verb-included compounds, like Zhizhan Fensui Ji [INSERT INLINE GRAPHIC] but the outcome of prosodic factor because it is acceptable for compounds like SuiZhi Ji [INSERT INLINE GRAPHIC] or Zhizhang Fensui Ji [INSERT INLINE GRAPHIC], but unacceptable for Fensui Zhizhang Ji [INSERT INLINE GRAPHIC] or ZhiSui Ji [INSERT INLINE GRAPHIC]. Even though scholars have published many articles on the issue about the prosodic factors in the forming of compounds, drawbacks of these researches gradually emerge. This paper not only analyzes the drawbacks but also put forward the view that Chinese verb-included compound is influenced by two prosodic restrictions, including Verbal-Foot Adjacency and Natural Foot Limitation, which can effectively explain how prosody shapes the production of verb-included compounds.
