Description
Aimed principally at the undergraduate student, this book provides a presentation of the fundamental concepts of phonological analysis, and at the same time shows how the phonological system of English can be illuminated by such concepts. It therefore bridges the gap between purely theoretical accounts and purely descriptive accounts of English. The topics covered include syllable structure, distinctive features, phonological processes and domains, stress and rhythm, and lexical (morphophonemic) alternations. Each chapter is either based largely on English, or is followed by a chapter on the relevant aspects of English phonology. No previous knowledge of contemporary phonological theory or the structure of English is assumed beyond that found in a typical first-year introductory course. Each chapter contains exercises. The book should be useful to students of linguistics, English language and speech sciences.
