The present paper is an attempt to capture the prosodic features of Hungarian syntax as related to word order and logical interpretation. It is assumed that a) the grammaticality of the various linear orders of words in a sentence is determined by proper stress/accentuation and b) the interpretation of scope also follows the prosodic structure of the sentence. This model of the Hungarian sentence structure is presented as an extension of the framework of metrical phonology. The proposed metrical syntax is based on stress reduction rules similar to those of metrical phonology but it also uses semantic-logical information from the lexicon to account for word order variation and peculiarities of scope assignment.
