The question of alignment of song and phonological units is very interesting. Consider the theory of 3-D representation (from Halle, Vergnaud, Idsardi, and others), with the X-tier representing the line from which various half-planes radiate; these planes are, for example, the feature tier, the metrical tier (for stress), and so on. Dell's question is whether or not song aligns universally only with representations on the syllable tier. What other paraphonological objects align with these 3-D representations, and with which units? What are the implications of these alignment phenomena for our theories of representation?

The question at the beginning of this thread is whether there are singing traditions in which the linguistic unit involved in the Basic Textsetting Principle is not the syllable. The answer is Yes: in Japanese nursery rhymes, the unit involved in the Basic Textsetting Principle is the mora.
