It is only partial because I do not feel it my duty to defend most of the theories attacked by Ploch. \\       The paper—Ploch’s contribution to the Kaye Festschrift—discusses metatheoretical problems in phonology and claims to “show[…] that the most important hypotheses which have been supported by phonologists and/or, more generally, linguists over the last (three, four) decades, but not only those, are not scientific ones” (185f). I do not wish to generally argue against this rather bold statement. Instead I will attempt to show why I think Ploch misunderstands the strict CV approach, and why I still maintain that it is one of the null hypotheses about prosodic structure. \\ ''PDF:'' [[this>_media/04sz.pdf|   full text]] \\ ''raw text:'' [[04sz-raw]] \\ ''refs:'' ++ ⟨BibTeX⟩ | \\ ''@article{even04sz, \\   author  = {Péter Szigetvári}, \\   title   = {To branch or not to branch?}, \\   year    = 2004, \\   journal = {The Even Yearbook}, \\   volume  = 6, \\   pages   = {184--191}, \\   url     = {http://seas.elte.hu/w/!even/04sz} \\ }''\\ ++ ++ ⟨RIS⟩ | \\ ''TY  - JOUR \\ AU  - Szigetvári,Péter \\ PY  - 2004/​/​/ \\ TI  - To branch or not to branch? \\ T2  - The Even Yearbook \\ VL  - 6 \\ SP  - 184 \\ EP  - 191 \\ UR  - http://seas.elte.hu/w/!even/04sz \\ ER  -''\\ ++ ++ ⟨txt⟩ | \\ '' Szigetvári, Péter. 2004.
