Syntax-Semantics non-Correspondence

Abstract

Due to the noticeable development linguistics had known, especially the development that took
place in the field of phonology, linguistic components were taken to be equal. Syntax was no
longer considered to be the main component that other linguistic components are derived from.
Semantics and phonology came to be considered generative linguistic components as is the
status of syntax. They are now considered to be able to derive meaning either autonomously or
with the incorporation of syntax. In this article, we will show how linguistic components,
especially semantics and phonology, reveal meaning without direct correspondence to syntax.
We will prove the non-correspondence between Syntax and Semantics relying on some linguistic
phenomena like Stress, Intonation and passivisation.
