Description

Generative phonology is a developing field of linguistics, and is producing both rival interpretations and models. This book provides a clear and accessible evaluation of the debate. It provides a detailed overview of the main models, revealing that they are often complimentary rather than contradictory, and how these can be interconnect and be used together to explore the subject.

Table of Contents

  • Part 1 Introduction: scope of this book
  • from classical phonemics to generative phonology

Description

This investigation is an evaluation of the growing debate surrounding generative phonology, including dual interpretations and models to account for it. It provides an overview of the main models, revealing that they are often complimentary rather than contradictory and how these can often interconnect and be used together to explore the subject. Starting from the basic notions of classical phonemics, it gives an overview of standard generative phonology, including distinctive feature theory.
