Interim summary. In this section, I provide a definition of φ-heads. I show that assuming φ-heads does not require the definition of a new property, since prosodic heads are independently postulated. I also argue that the axiom on heads that applies to φ-heads naturally extends to the standard definition of other phonological heads. I also demonstrate how φ-heads are a main factor in the superficial distinction between I/O-Correspondence and φ-Correspondence and how their existence limits the set of possible structures permitted by the theory.
